The low-viscosity pumping company.

The Oilgear line of pumping products is focused on extreme reliability when pumping high water content fluids (HWCF, HWBF) or alternative fluids at high pressure. Below is a partial listing of challenging applications and fluids for which the Oilgear pump product line has proven successful.

Oilgear pumps are some of the most reliable pumps available for classic hydraulic media.  For the sake of brevity, classic hydraulic fluids are not listed here.

Listed below are examples of compatible fluids by industry.
