Product Overview
The P2060 Series Axial Piston Variable Pumps are core models of the Parker Hannifin P2 series open-circuit swashplate axial piston variable pumps. Parker is a global leader in motion and control technologies. The P2 series is specifically designed for mobile hydraulic applications, featuring compact design, high power density, low noise, and low pressure ripple.
The P2060 series delivers a maximum displacement of 60 cm³/rev, rated pressure of 320 bar (4600 psi), and peak pressure capability of 370 bar. The P2 series is available in four frame sizes (P2060, P2075, P2105, P2145) with displacements from 60 to 145 cm³/rev. As the entry-level specification of the series, the P2060 is the ideal hydraulic power source for forklifts, wheel loaders, excavators, and other mobile equipment, thanks to its compact design and superior performance.

Key Technical Advantages
1. Integrated Pre-Compression Volume (Ripple Chamber) – 40-60% Pressure Ripple Reduction with Significant Noise Reduction
All P2 series side-ported pumps come standard with the integrated pre-compression volume (Ripple Chamber) technology. This technology reduces pressure pulsation by 40–60%, significantly reducing overall system noise without additional components or cost. At 320 bar high-pressure operation, the P2060 delivers noise performance superior to comparable products, significantly improving the equipment operator’s working environment.
2. Compact Design with Unique Port Layout – Direct PTO Mounting, Cost-Saving Installation
The P2060 series features an optimized envelope and unique port layout, enabling direct mounting on mobile transmission PTOs for fast and cost-effective installation. It delivers exceptionally high power density within limited space, making it the ideal choice for mobile equipment.
3. Multiple Control Options – On-Demand Flow Delivery, Significant Energy Savings
The P2/P3 series offers a wide range of control options including pressure compensator (PA), remote pressure control (RA), load sensing (LA/LB), and torque control (TA/TB/TC/TD) . Load-sensing control adjusts flow according to system demand, delivering significant energy savings. The P2060L00B1B14LA20N00S1G1U is equipped with load-sensing control (LA20).
4. High Self-Priming Speed with Thru-Drive Capability – Flexible System Integration
The P2060 series achieves a self-priming speed of 2800 rpm at 1 bar absolute inlet pressure. Thru-drive capability supports tandem and multi-pump configurations, supplying multiple independent hydraulic circuits simultaneously and greatly simplifying complex hydraulic system layouts.
5. Rugged Cast Iron Construction with High Power Density
The high-strength cast iron body and precision-machined internal components ensure long-term reliable operation at 320 bar continuous pressure and 370 bar peak pressure. With continuous pressure ratings up to 350 bar, it provides high power density and enables downsizing of mobile machinery.
6. Stable Pump Response with Low Noise Emissions
P2 series pumps are very stable and respond quickly to system demands. Low noise emissions and low pressure ripple characteristics deliver powerful performance while improving the equipment operator’s working environment.

Expert Maintenance Tips
Model Code Verification (verify each element) :
P2060 series model codes contain critical information. Before selection and installation, confirm the following:
P2060: P2 series, 60 cm³/rev maximum displacement.
First letter (R/L) : Rotation direction – R indicates clockwise (CW) , L indicates counter-clockwise (CCW) .
Second digits (00) : Mounting configuration code.
Shaft code (C1/C5/B1, etc.) : Shaft type and specification – C1, C5 = SAE C spline, B1 = SAE B spline.
Control code (C17/C25/LA20, etc.) : Control type and setting – C = Pressure compensator, LA = Load sensing.
Seal code (N00, etc.) : N indicates NBR seals.
Verify Rotation Direction:
Confirm that the drive shaft rotation matches the direction code in the model – “R” indicates clockwise (CW), “L” indicates counter-clockwise (CCW). Incorrect rotation will prevent pressure build-up and may damage internal rotating components.
Mounting Flange and Drive Shaft Matching:
The P2060 series offers both SAE C 4-bolt (P2060R00C1 configuration) and SAE B 2-bolt (P2060L00B1 configuration) mounting flanges. Verify that the equipment-side flange type and shaft specification match the pump configuration before installation.
Suction Line and Inlet Pressure Requirements:
The P2060 series requires a minimum absolute inlet pressure of 0.8 bar and a maximum absolute inlet pressure of 10 bar. Maximum case drain pressure (absolute) must not exceed 1.5 bar. Ensure the suction line is properly sealed with no air leaks. The P2060 series offers self-priming speeds up to 2800 rpm, but insufficient suction may still cause cavitation damage.
Thru-Drive Configuration Precautions:
If the pump is equipped with thru-drive (such as the B14 configuration on P2060L00B1B14), ensure coupling concentricity and alignment accuracy during installation. Coupling misalignment on thru-drive configurations will affect the operational reliability of both pump stages.
First-Start Priming Procedure:
After new pump installation or system overhaul, ensure the pump cavity is filled with oil before first start. Jog the pump at low pressure (not exceeding 50 bar) and low speed (approx. 600 rpm) until the pump body is fully filled with oil and air is purged, then gradually increase to rated speed and working pressure. Allow the pump to run at no load for several minutes to complete air purging. Running the pump dry will cause irreversible damage to pistons and cylinder barrel.
Oil Cleanliness Management:
P2/P3 series axial piston pumps have high requirements for oil cleanliness. Recommended fluid cleanliness is ISO 4406 19/16/13, with recommended viscosity of 15 – 40 cSt (min. 10 cSt, max. 1000 cSt). Regularly inspect return filter condition and replace hydraulic oil and filters per equipment manufacturer recommended intervals.
Regular Maintenance and Temperature Monitoring:
Inspect pump operating condition every 1,000 operating hours. Regularly monitor pump body temperature—if it consistently exceeds +80°C, inspect the system cooling and relief valve settings. Listen for abnormal noise or vibration during operation; if detected, shut down and troubleshoot immediately.
