EATON VICKERS
Eaton Vickers Distributor for Hydraulic Pumps and Valves
Heash Technique B.V. is a Netherlands-based hydraulic component trader supplying Eaton Vickers hydraulic pumps and proportional valves, including the PVH, PVM, PVQ, VMQ, Hydrokraft PVX/PFX and KBHDG series. We work as an independent reseller, sourcing replacement components for industrial, marine and mobile hydraulic systems.
The catalogue splits into variable displacement piston pumps, fixed displacement vane pumps, Hydrokraft high pressure piston pumps and proportional directional control valves. The available configurations cover a range of hydraulic duties, from general industrial machine-tool circuits to selected high-pressure power units, depending on the pump series and model. Send a model number, nameplate photo or duty point and we will confirm what can be supplied, subject to availability and order confirmation.
Eaton Vickers Hydraulic Pump and Valve Series We Supply
The Eaton Vickers catalogue covers four product categories, and each one answers a different hydraulic task. The cards below group the Eaton Vickers series into these categories, making it easier to identify the right starting point for each enquiry.
Eaton Vickers Hydraulic Pumps
Eaton Vickers hydraulic pumps cover variable displacement piston, fixed displacement vane and Hydrokraft piston technologies. The following series are grouped by pump type and application.
Eaton Vickers Proportional Directional Control Valves
Where flow and direction must follow an electrical signal, the KBHDG series provides proportional control rather than simple switching direction.
Eaton Vickers Hydraulic Product Series Comparison
With several pump technologies side by side, the category a product belongs to matters as much as its model number. The table below lists every series by product category, so a complete circuit — pump plus control valve — can be specified from one source.
| Product category | Series | Displacement / flow | Pressure Rating | Typical applications |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Variable displacement piston pump | PVH | 57 – 141 cm³/rev | 250 bar continuous duty | Earth-moving, machine tools, plastics |
| Variable displacement piston pump | PVM | 18 – 141 cm³/rev | 280 - 315 bar nominal rating | Industrial open circuits, low noise duty |
| Variable displacement piston pump | PVQ | 10 – 45 cm³/rev | Up to 210 bar operating | Machine tools, small presses, conveyors |
| Fixed displacement vane pump | VMQ | 10 – 240 cm³/rev | 293 bar continuous outlet | Combines, balers, oil field, winches |
| Variable displacement axial piston pump | PVX | 66 – 250 cm³/rev | Up to 350 bar operating | Test stands, mixer drives |
| Fixed displacement axial piston pump | PFX | 66 – 250 cm³/rev | Up to 350 bar operating | Primary metal power units |
| Proportional directional valve | KBHDG5V | Up to 720 L/min rated flow | Up to 350 bar working | Signal-controlled flow and direction |
Pressure figures follow the wording of each series product page and datasheet, and the basis differs between series: continuous duty, nominal rating, maximum operating or working pressure. Peak limits, load sensing ratings and permissible speeds differ by model, so confirm the exact datasheet before specifying. Series detail is listed on our Vickers PVH piston pumps, PVM piston pumps and VMQ vane pumps pages.
Why Choose Eaton Vickers Hydraulic Components
Vickers has a long history in hydraulic engineering, dating back to 1921. Its pump and valve technologies continue to serve a wide range of industrial and mobile hydraulic applications under the Eaton Vickers brand. For buyers, that history translates into a supply base with depth across technologies rather than a single product family. Four points matter most when choosing Eaton Vickers components:
- Established hydraulic engineering heritage spanning more than a century
- Both piston and vane pump technologies in one catalogue
- Variable and fixed displacement options across the pressure range
- Proportional hydraulic control solutions alongside the pumps
This broad product portfolio helps buyers identify suitable replacement components for both current equipment and older hydraulic systems, subject to model availability.
Eaton Vickers Hydraulic Pump and Valve Applications
The machine types below are the ones most often quoted to us. Each one puts a different demand on the hydraulic circuit, and that demand is what decides which product category fits.
Industrial Presses and Machine Tools
Press drives hold force through the forming stroke, and machine tools run indoors where noise limits apply. Circuits here are judged on pressure holding accuracy during the working phase and on stable flow through long production cycles. Enquiries for these machines usually start with the PVQ and PVH piston pump ranges.
Marine and Offshore Equipment
Winches, deck cranes and steering gear work long duty cycles in salt-laden air. The deciding factors are continuous ratings, bearing life and the availability of service parts years after commissioning. Enquiries for these drives usually start with the VMQ and PVH pump ranges.
Mobile and Off-highway Machinery
Earth-moving and agricultural machines need high flow from a compact envelope, tolerance to cold starts and resistance to pressure spikes coming back from the implement circuit. Enquiries for these machines usually start with the PVH and VMQ pump ranges.
Test Stands and Power Units
Test benches and mixer drives run at set points for hours, so output has to track the command signal precisely and stay stable at high pressure and low speed. Enquiries for these units usually start with the Hydrokraft PVX and PFX pumps and the KBHDG proportional valves.
How to Select the Right Eaton Vickers Pump or Valve
Selection starts from what the circuit must do, then narrows to a product category, a series and finally a model code. The four routes below match the categories in this catalogue:
- Flow must vary with the working cycle: start with the variable displacement piston pumps PVH, PVM or PVQ
- Flow stays constant and noise matters: the fixed displacement vane pump VMQ
- High pressure power unit: confirm a variable PVX or fixed PFX Hydrokraft model against pressure and speed
- Flow must follow an electrical signal: the KBHDG proportional directional valves
Eaton Vickers Hydraulic Pump Selection
Pressure class comes first, then displacement at drive speed, then the control option: pressure compensator, flow, horsepower, power control or load sensing, each available alone or combined depending on the series. Mounting, shaft, ports and through drive are specified last, and they should match the drive the pump will sit on.
Eaton Vickers Proportional Valve Selection
KBHDG5V valves are chosen by rated flow and working pressure, then by spool type: zero-lapped spools for closed loop control and hydrostats for load compensation. Gain, spool deadband compensation and offset are factory set, so the valve needs only a 24 V supply and a voltage command signal to run.
Eaton Vickers Replacement and Cross-Reference Support
Most inquiries start with a machine that is already running rather than a new build. The first job is then identification: which model is fitted, which ordering code it carries, and what can still be supplied against it.
Identifying Older Vickers Pump and Valve Models
From a clear nameplate photo or the complete model code, we identify the series, displacement, control and mounting configuration. Where the original series is discontinued, we cross-reference the ordering code against current production and propose the nearest available equivalent, confirming compatibility before an order is placed. If a like-for-like replacement exists we will say so, rather than quoting a larger pump than the machine needs.
The same process covers proportional valves, where the amplifier and spool configuration are read from the ordering code.
Eaton Vickers Supply, Inspection and Delivery from Heash
Heash Technique B.V. works out of The Hague and sources hydraulic components from manufacturers in Europe, the USA and Asia for customers worldwide. Eaton Vickers pumps and valves are supplied alongside other established brands such as Rexroth and Kawasaki, which lets one inquiry cover several components on the same machine.

Orders ship from the Netherlands to customers across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Africa and the Americas. Offices in Asia, America and Africa follow up locally after delivery, which shortens the loop on installation questions.
Request a Quote for Eaton Vickers Components
To prepare a quotation, send us the details below and we will confirm availability, price and delivery time. The more complete the duty information you provide, the closer the first quotation will be to the final specification:
- Pump or valve model number, or a nameplate photo
- Required displacement or flow and operating pressure
- Operating speed and control type
- Equipment application and quantity
- Delivery destination
If a nameplate photo is not available, the equipment make and model is often enough to start the identification. Drawings, circuit diagrams or installation photos are welcome where the model code is unclear. Our team will review your requirements and come back to you with availability, pricing and delivery information.
Eaton Vickers Distributors: Frequently Asked Questions
Is Heash an authorised Eaton Vickers distributor?
Heash Technique B.V. operates as an independent hydraulic component reseller, not an officially authorised Eaton Vickers distributor. We source selected Eaton Vickers pumps and valves based on model requirements and availability.
Which Eaton Vickers pump series should I choose for my application?
The right series depends on the required displacement, pressure, flow, operating speed and circuit design. PVH, PVM and PVQ are variable displacement piston pump families, while VMQ is a fixed displacement vane pump. Hydrokraft PVX and PFX models should be selected according to their specific configurations and operating requirements.
Can you identify an older Vickers pump from the nameplate?
Yes. Send us a clear photo of the pump nameplate or the complete model code. We can help identify the series, displacement and control configuration, then check whether the original model or a suitable replacement can be sourced.
What information do you need for a quotation?
Please provide the model number or nameplate photo, required displacement or flow, operating pressure, speed, application, quantity and delivery destination. Drawings or hydraulic circuit diagrams are also helpful when the original model code is unavailable.
