YUKEN A16-F-R Piston Pump
Overview
The YUKEN A16-F-R is a flagship small-displacement model in the A Series variable piston pump family, specifically engineered for medium and small-sized industrial equipment requiring precise flow control and compact installation. Leveraging YUKEN’s 60+ years of hydraulic engineering expertise, this pump integrates flange-mounted design, clockwise rotation, and high-efficiency variable displacement technology to deliver reliable fluid power solutions for light industrial and automated production scenarios. Its optimized compact structure and low-noise performance make it an ideal choice for space-constrained machinery.
