North American Hydraulics Baton Rouge, LA Steve Gluck Cell:
Will test “piston products” ◦ Brevini (Hydrostatic pumps and motors) ◦ Hansa (smaller hydrostatic pumps/motors) ◦ Oil gear (open circuit pumps) ◦ Other brands of piston units ◦ SAE and Cartridge Mounts Test Unit after Assembly or Conversion ◦ Verify assembly ◦ Adjustments (pressure, displacement, controls) ◦ Performance measurement NOT endurance testing
Testing Modes Closed LoopOpen Loop Pumps (as pump) Motors (as motor or pump ) ICOTM (Instant Change of Test Modes)
