Moog Inc, the US-based precision control systems manufacturer, has unveiled a new hydraulic pump designed to deliver higher efficiency, lower noise, and improved durability across a range of industrial applications.
The company’s new AXP Axial Piston Pump Series marks a significant step in Moog’s effort to modernise hydraulic technology. The AXP features a patented slipper-less, 15-piston floating configuration that blends characteristics of internal gear and piston pumps. Moog said the design offers a compact, high-speed solution with strong resistance to cavitation and contamination — key issues in heavy-duty sectors such as injection moulding, metal forming, and endurance testing.
Harald Kurz, Moog’s Vice President of Electrohydraulic Products and Solutions, said the innovation continues the company’s legacy of redefining industrial control systems. “We invented the servo valve and forever changed how machines are designed,” he said. “Now, we’re doing it again with an innovative pump that OEMs truly need. The AXP sets a new standard by delivering the performance engineers expect and the reliability operations demand.”
Moog described the AXP as combining performance and cost-efficiency in equal measure. The design enables pressure holding at zero speed, high-speed dynamic performance, and reduced noise and vibration — features that the company said would support energy savings, allow for smaller motor sizes, and improve workplace conditions.
The simplified, component-efficient design also reduces sensitivity to low suction pressures, improving system reliability and extending equipment life. With its high power density and 100% through-drive capability, the pump can be easily scaled for different system configurations.
Moog expects the AXP Series to appeal to customers across sectors including construction machinery, material handling, marine systems, and general industrial machinery. The company said the product’s “superior performance-to-price ratio” would make it particularly attractive for manufacturers seeking to balance operational performance with cost control.
The launch underscores Moog’s broader strategy to reinforce its position as a provider of “mission-critical” industrial and aerospace systems.
