Parker eReady Bent Axis Pumps: Efficient Hydraulic Power for the Next Generation of Machines
Electrification, energy efficiency, and noise reduction are essential requirements for modern machines. To meet these new demands, Parker Hannifin has developed the eReady bent axis pump series, including the F1e and F12e pumps.
These pumps are designed to deliver reliable hydraulic performance while supporting the shift toward electric and hybrid equipment. Built on Parker’s proven bent axis technology, the eReady pump range offers a smart balance of power, efficiency, and long-term value for mobile and industrial applications.
What Makes Parker eReady Bent Axis Pumps Different?
Parker eReady pumps belong to Parker’s advanced eSeries, which has been developed specifically with electrification in mind. While the core bent axis design is well proven, the eReady versions are optimised to work seamlessly with electric motors and variable-speed drives.
The F1e and F12e pumps are fixed displacement bent axis pumps that deliver smooth, efficient hydraulic power across a wide operating range. Their design helps reduce internal losses, improve energy efficiency, and ensure consistent performance throughout the pump’s service life.

The Advantage of Bent Axis Technology
Bent axis pumps have long been recognised for their efficiency and durability. Compared to many traditional pump designs, they offer smoother power transmission and higher overall efficiency, which directly benefits machine performance.
With the Parker eReady range, these advantages are enhanced even further. Improvements in pressure pulsation and speed capability result in a smoother hydraulic flow and reduced vibration. This not only improves efficiency but also contributes to quieter machine operation, an increasingly important factor in urban and environmentally sensitive areas.
Low Noise Operation
Noise reduction is one of the standout benefits of Parker eReady bent axis pumps. Excessive hydraulic noise is often caused by pressure pulsations and vibration within the system. Parker has addressed this by significantly reducing pressure pulsation, helping to create a quieter and more stable hydraulic circuit.
This quieter operation improves operator comfort and reduces fatigue, especially in machines that run for long hours. It also helps equipment meet stricter noise regulations, which is particularly important for construction, municipal, and forestry applications. Lower noise is a sign of a well-optimised, efficient hydraulic system.
Reduced Energy Consumption
Efficiency is a driver behind the development of the Parker eReady pump series. High efficiency means that more input energy is converted into useful hydraulic power, rather than being lost as heat.
This delivers several practical benefits. Machines consume less energy, cooling systems can be smaller, and overall operating costs are reduced. In electric and hybrid machines, high efficiency directly contributes to longer battery life and improved operating range. Over time, these efficiency gains translate into lower maintenance costs, reduced downtime, and a lower total cost of ownership.
Designed for Electrification
Electrification is reshaping mobile hydraulics, and Parker eReady pumps are designed to support this shift. They perform reliably across a wide speed range, making them ideal for electric motor-driven systems that do not operate at constant speed.
Key advantages for electrified machines include:
- Smooth operation at both high and low speeds
- Compatibility with electric motors and inverters
- Efficient performance even at very low or zero speed
Reliable Performance Over the Entire Service Life
Parker eReady bent axis pumps are designed to deliver consistent performance over their entire lifetime, even in tough operating conditions. Their robust internal design helps minimise wear and tear, reducing the risk of unexpected failures. This results in longer service intervals, fewer breakdowns, and higher machine availability. For industries such as construction, forestry, cargo handling, and material transport, this reliability helps protect productivity and reduce costly downtime.
Compact Design with High Power Density
Modern machines are becoming more compact, especially electric and hybrid equipment. The bent axis design of Parker eReady pumps offers a high power-to-weight ratio, allowing designers to achieve strong hydraulic performance in a smaller footprint.
This compact design makes it easier to integrate the pump into tight machine layouts while still delivering the power needed for demanding hydraulic functions.
