P3 Series Hydraulic External Gear Pump
P3 refers to high-pressure fixed-displacement external gear pump, widely used in HPI, Marzocchi, Parker and other brands. It also stands for peak pressure grade.
Main Technical Parameters
- Displacement: 5–120 cm³/r, common specifications: 16/20/25/32/40/50/63/80/100
- Working Pressure
- Continuous Pressure P1: 210–250 bar
- Intermittent Pressure P2: 235–270 bar
- Peak Pressure P3: 250–300 bar (short-time operation)
- Rotation Speed: 500–3000 rpm, standard 1500–2500 rpm
- Efficiency: Volumetric efficiency ≥91% at 250 bar, overall efficiency ≥85%
- Material: Aluminum alloy pump housing, cast iron end cover, nitrided alloy steel gear (HRC60+), NBR/FKM oil seal
Structure & Working Principle
- Structure: Pump body, driving & driven gear, floating side plate, wear-resistant bearing, high-pressure seal, front & rear end cover
- Principle: Positive displacement external meshing structure. Gear rotation forms vacuum to suck oil, then compresses oil for high-pressure output. Floating side plate automatically compensates axial clearance to reduce internal leakage.

- P3 (Peak): Instant impact pressure (duration ≤1 second)
I. Product Features
1. Modular Design
The P3 series hydraulic gear pump adopts a modular structure, supporting multi-pump combinations (e.g., 2-, 3-, 4-, or 5-pump assemblies). This allows flexible configuration to meet diverse operational requirements and enhances system integration.
2. High-Pressure Performance
Certain models (e.g., P3BAN series) achieve a peak pressure of330 bar (≈33,000 kPa), making them suitable for heavy-duty applications requiring high-pressure hydraulic systems.
3. Energy Efficiency
Optimized design ensures a volumetric efficiency of up to97%, minimizing energy loss and reducing operational costs. For instance, some models maintain a volumetric efficiency of≥91%at 14 MPa.
4. Material Optimization
• Front and rear pump bodies: Cast iron for high-pressure durability.
• Central reinforcement: Aluminum alloy for fatigue resistance and extended service life.
5. Integrated Functions
Built-in components such as safety valves (high/low pressure), flow regulators, and bidirectional diverters reduce reliance on external parts, simplifying system design.
