Air Over Hydraulic Pump 10k PSI Single Action 231in³ Reservoir Foot Treadle Operated PA6-231
The PowerX PA6-231, a single-acting air over 2P/3W hydraulic pump built for heavy-duty industrial, construction, and maintenance operations, is a portable and powerful tool to power your cylinders, rams and jacks. Rated for 10,000 PSI (700 bar), this unit delivers turbo-speed output up to 15% faster than competing pumps—thanks to its larger-diameter piston that moves more fluid per stroke for higher efficiency and faster cylinder extension.
The reinforced aluminum alloy reservoir provides an impressive 231 in³ usable oil capacity, extending run time between refills and ensuring consistent flow during long-cycle jobs. Lightweight yet durable, its corrosion-resistant body stands up to the toughest shop and field environments, while the rugged one-piece air piston reduces air consumption and overall operating cost. An integrated pressure-relief valve adds overload protection for safe, reliable use under maximum load.
Operating on 40 – 170 PSI of shop air, the PA6-231 starts easily even at low inlet pressure and runs quietly with minimal vibration. The anti-slip foot treadle allows precise, hands-free control, and the pump can also be operated manually when needed, offering flexibility across diverse applications.
Powerful, efficient, and built to last, the PA6-231 Air Over Hydraulic Pump is ideal for single-acting hydraulic cylinders, presses, pullers, and lifting systems in construction, mining, manufacturing, and heavy-equipment service environments that demand sustained performance and high-volume capacity.
Pair the PA6-231 with PowerX Automotive Cylinders, Flat Body Cylinders, Low Profile Cylinders and select Center Hole Cylinders to build a complete 10,000 PSI hydraulic system engineered for maximum speed, capacity, and dependability.
