Series 12L

Series 12L pumps are designed for very high pressure service primarily for compressor gas sealing, fluid power and hydrostatic bearing applications.   Pumps are equipped with a steel case and balanced mechanical shaft seal.  This series is believed to be the world's highest pressure capability 3-screw pump.
