Cat Pumps compact mobile hydroexcavating spline shaft pumps
Cat Pumps offers the trusted performance of the 2565 and 3560 pumps with a new direct-mount flange and hollow spline shaft. This innovation addresses the challenges of limited space and allows pairing with compact SAE hydraulic motors. Model 2565T13 achieves flows to 20 gpm at pressures up to 3,000 psi and pairs to an SAE B hydraulic motor with a 13-tooth spline shaft. This reduces the width of the pump by over 7 1/2 inches compared to the standard bell housing configuration. Models 3560T14 and 3560RST14 pair with SAE C hydraulic motors with a 14-tooth spline shaft and can pump 20 gpm up to 4,000 psi or 25 gpm up to 3,000 psi. These models significantly decrease the overall pump and bell housing width by more than 8 inches and permit the motor to be mounted on either side. Equipment builders can add an optional electronic rpm speed sensor to ensure accurate, consistent pump operation. 763-780-5440; www.catpumps.com
