This Eaton Vickers 30VQ Series Vane Pump is built for high-pressure, high-speed applications, offering longer operating life and outstanding volumetric efficiency. Designed for power steering and industrial applications in small units and small presses, this single vane pump has a ring size of 28 and a 7/8 straight keyed shaft.
The 30VQ Series Vane Pump features clockwise rotation and a port location 90° clockwise from the outlet. With a rated flow of 42.85, it is designed for a speed rating of 2000 RPM and a maximum pressure of 2000. It uses Buna-N seal material.
Running a small hydraulic press setup and need to know if this pump'll handle continuous duty at full pressure or if it's more of an intermittent-use unit.

At 2000 PSI max pressure and a 2000 RPM speed rating, this pump is built for high-pressure, high-speed applications, but the product data classifies it for use in small press and small industrial unit applications. That puts it squarely in the kind of moderate-duty hydraulic work where it performs reliably, not heavy continuous industrial cycling. For a small press running regular production cycles, it fits well within its intended use case.

This Eaton Vickers VQ series vane pump is applicable to power steering, industrial small units, and small press applications.
Question by: Curt A on Jul 28, 2025, 8:27 AM
got a power steering setup on a small unit, would this 30VQ pump be the right kind or is it more for industrial stuff?
Answer by: Customer Support on Jul 30, 2025, 8:02 AM
For typical use, it fits both worlds. The 30VQ series is commonly used in power steering, and it also shows up in small industrial units and small press applications.
