What is the difference between aircraft and regular Lowrider hydraulics?

If speaking of a basic aircraft hydraulic system used in cars, there is really only one difference. The tank (or fluid reservoir) holding the fluid is separate from the gears (or pump head).

In a regular liftgate type of pump unit, (also called the Lowrider pump). Most lifegate motors are rated at 12 volts, some at 24 volts DC.  PSI can be rated from 2,000PSI and produce or withstand 5,000PSI or more. Usually everything needed is integrated into one package, if the pump is found on liftgate trucks. Lowrider pumps are made for more and faster flow. Uou will see the check valve, dump valve and slowdown connected via fittings. Most parts have that machined look with sharp corners.


In all aircraft pumps (I'll call these powerpacks), the pump head can be seen connected to the motor. Most of these motors are rated at 24-28 Volts DC.  Pressures from 1,200PSI to around 3,000PSI. This tpye of a setup used in cars have the separate components connected in plan site.  Aircraft parts seem to have that sand casting appearance, with rounded corners.

Much more to come with images...
