        • QX Internal Gear pumps

        • Pump all-rounders up to 400 bar

          The QX series is the 5th generation of Bucher's internal gear pumps and has proven itself for decades in the mobile and industrial hydraulics markets. Many aspects of the design have been enhanced, and it is characterized by a simple layout with relatively few components. It is exceptionally compact and robust. As a direct result of the special gear profile that Bucher uses, QX pumps achieve extremely low levels of pulsation and noise emission, even at high pressures and speeds. Thanks to the wide range of variants, QX pumps can be used for virtually all applications.

        • QXEH Internal Gear Pumps

        • Highly dynamic variable-speed pump operation

          The QXEH series has been specially developed for pumping duties in highly dynamic servo drives with a reversing function. Using the pinion-shaft technology, high pressures up to 280 bar are developed in a single stage. QXEH pumps are therefore particularly well suited for a wide range of applications in industrial hydraulics where there are high demands on power density, energy efficiency and machine productivity. At the same time, they ensure maximum operational reliability coupled with minimal flow- and pressure-pulsations even during operation with highly dynamic load cycles.

        • QXEHX Internal Gear Pump

        • Highly dynamic pump operation with very high speeds

          The QXEHX series is the successor to the QXEH series, and brings new advantages with it. In addition to optimized hydrodynamic lubrication, the speed range has now been extended up to 5000 rpm. With increased power density and improved operational reliability, this surpasses even the benefits offered by the QXEH series. This makes QXEHX pumps particularly suitable for downsizing the entire drive train, e.g. in injection molding and die casting machines, while at the same time achieving a long service life.

        • QXV Internal Gear Pumps

        • Pumps Low-viscosity fluids

          The QXV series has been developed for use with low-viscosity fluids. QXV pumps have proven particularly successful in applications for pumping kerosene, automotive fuels, paraffin, brake fluids and many other low-viscosity fluids. When required, a multi-stage pressure build-up can be employed to achieve high pressures of up to 250 bar with a viscosity close to 1 mm2/s, and with high efficiencies at the same time.

        • QXP Internal Gear Pumps

        • Metering function in polyurethane production

          The QXP series has been specially developed for metering and conveying the fluids used in polyurethane production. Thanks to the hydrodynamic and hydrostatic bearing support for the ring gear, the pump can be operated with low, as well as with very high, viscosities, and at low speeds. QXP pumps are therefore particularly suitable for variable-speed drives with exacting requirements for precision metering. In addition, the enlarged sealing surfaces enable high efficiencies to be achieved.

        • QXM Internal Gear Unit

        • Highly dynamic variable-speed multi-quadrant applications

          The QXEM series is intended for operation as both a pump and a motor. A symmetrical design makes these units specially suitable for highly dynamic variable-speed multi-quadrant operation. In the industrial hydraulics field, they are therefore particularly appropriate for applications with highly cyclical loading. Thanks to the pinion-shaft technology, pressures up to 250 bar are built up in a single-stage. The direction of rotation can also be reversed in milliseconds, while maximum operational reliability is ensured at all times thanks to optimized hydrodynamic lubrication.

              • Hydraulic Backstop Cylinders

              • Hydraulic backstop cylinders are used on lattice boom cranes as a hydraulic means for preventing the boom from toppling backwards. In the final position of the jib (almost vertical), the cylinder is forcibly in-stroked and thereby builds up the necessary pressure to push the jib back again. They are therefore Category A safety components. A cylinder failure would result in the crane overturning. To accommodate the enormous mechanical forces, our hydro-storage cylinders are manufactured exclusively from high-strength steels.

                    • System manifold blocks

                      In Systems Engineering, project methods are used to design client-specific solutions in the form of manifold control blocks. These are mainly used in mobile equipment for agriculture and municipal services, in road-building and construction machines, as well as in renewable energy systems such as wind turbines or solar power plants. The manifold blocks, in steel or aluminium design, offer maximum functionality in a very small space.

                      Monoblock designs

                      Valve combinations in monoblock construction consist of a single, heavy-duty, cast body that is designed for high working pressures. Thanks to the wide selections of spools, types of operators, types of hand levers, and auxiliary valves such as secondary pressure relief, anti-cavitation make-up, pressure control, flow control and check, these are particularly suited for use in complex applications where small installation dimensions are vitally important.

                  • Custom Solutions

                  • Custom solutions are often based on new developments and require close cooperation between the development department and the customer. This calls for direct contact between the customer and the Competence Center.

                    PistenBully Example: Expert Hydraulics

                    The red snow groomers from Kässbohrer are a familiar sight in ski resorts. Under the hood are nine of our LCV series valves.

                    Our proportional, ultra-responsive hydraulic control system in the PistenBully implements the driver's commands quickly and accurately, no matter how heavy the load of snow in front of the plow blade. Development covered the entire hydraulic system, consisting of a 12-way plow blade, rear cutter, winch and fan control.

                    Drivers and service technicians set the requirements for the development of this new subsystem. The PistenBully 600 shows just what it is capable of in very demanding, extreme weather conditions.
