Cutaway Over-Center Axial Piston Pump – Hydrostatic Training Model

This handcrafted axial piston pump cutaway is the ultimate hands-on teaching tool for hydrostatic drive systems. Featuring over-center swashplate movement, a cutaway barrel to the drive shaft, dual main pressure relief valves, and a transparent rear-mounted gerotor charge pump, it offers unmatched visibility into internal pump dynamics. Students can manually operate the swashplate and rotate the input shaft to see how reversing flow is achieved without changing shaft direction—bringing advanced fluid power concepts vividly to life.

Description

Cutaway Over-Center Axial Piston Pump – Hydrostatic Training Model

Master hydrostatic systems with Toolkit Technologies’ Cutaway Over-Center Axial Piston Pump—a fully functional, handcrafted training model built to transform complex hydraulic concepts into visual, hands-on learning. Designed specifically for technical education and industrial training programs, this cutaway hydrostatic pump reveals every critical internal component and clearly demonstrates the principles of bidirectional flow, pressure relief, and charge systems.

Ideal for Teaching Advanced Fluid Power Concepts

This model is engineered to eliminate guesswork and make it easy for students to see how an over-center axial piston pump operates. The pump housing is carefully cut away to expose the internal piston barrel, drive shaft, and swashplate mechanism. A large rotation knob on the input shaft allows users to simulate system operation, while a control handle on the swashplate lets students observe how varying the swashplate angle—and shifting it past center—reverses the direction of fluid flow without reversing input rotation.

Transparent Charge Pump and Exposed Relief Valves

At the rear, a completely transparent gerotor-style charge pump housing puts internal fluid movement on display. Trainees can observe how charge pressure is maintained and how the integrated charge pressure relief valve functions under system load. Additional features include dual main pressure relief valves and a tow bypass valve, giving learners a full understanding of pressure regulation and system serviceability in real-world hydrostatic circuits.

Training Applications

This high-detail model is perfect for:

  • Technical colleges and vocational programs

  • Mobile equipment and fluid power maintenance training

  • OEM or dealer service technician instruction

  • Interactive classroom demonstrations and labs

Key Features

  • Fully functional swashplate with manual control handle

Boost Student Engagement and Understanding

The Cutaway Axial Piston Pump isn’t just a model—it’s a complete training experience. Whether you’re introducing students to hydrostatic drive principles or diving deep into pump performance, this tool provides the clarity and interactivity needed to support comprehension and retention. With its immersive, visual design, this model helps students say: “Now I get it.”

World Renowned
Training Experts

The Fluid Power Training Institute (FPTI) team, spearheaded by world-renowned expert Rory McLaren, bring their decades of experience as the go-to experts in industry for all things hydraulics, pneumatics, and more into the classroom with these incredible training systems.

These rugged, robust, practical, and skills-driven hydraulics, pneumatics, and electrical training systems are proudly built in the United States and are trusted by industry partners and educators across the globe.

We Can Help

We invite all educators looking at investing in hydraulic training systems to attend one of our workshops or give us a call to set up a Free Consultation.

At the very least, you'll learn proper safety procedures when it comes to hydraulics.

Our workshops are so effective, we guarantee for our industrial customers a 75% reduction in their hydraulic component replacement costs after attending or their money back.

Let us, leading experts in the field, help your school train the next generation!

Experience, Realized

"Over two decades ago I was teaching a class in Salt Lake City, Utah. One of my students, a teacher from a technical college in northern California, was so impressed with my training “system” that he asked if I would make a duplicate of it for him. I did, and the rest is history! Today, you will find my hydraulic training systems in the USA, Canada, Australia, Africa, Asia, South America, and Saudi Arabia ... It is also the number one choice for Corporate Technical Training Centers.

FPTI™ is the fastest growing fluid power training systems provider in the world - ask any teacher who uses our system, or any student who has attended our workshops. There's nothing else like it."

- Rory McLaren, Founder FPTI

Jaw-Dropping

When industry professionals come into a 4-day required workshop thinking they already know everything, and within 5 minutes are scribbling notes and taking photos, it makes us proud.

Hydraulics is our life. And we take great pride in sharing our knowledge, our wisdom, and our livelihoods with young minds to give them a better future.

Please ask us questions, reach out, pick our brains - we live to share our stories and wisdom surrounding fluid power with educators, students, and industry professionals.
