An Enerpac hydraulic foot pump powers a 10,000 psi cylinder or tool while leaving both of the operator's hands free to position the work. Choose the manual P392FP when there is no shop air, or an air-driven foot pump (Enerpac XA, PA or Turbo II, or Simplex GA) for faster, effortless pumping where compressed air is available.
Enerpac and Simplex foot pump comparison
All models are rated for 10,000 psi. Data from the Enerpac E330 Industrial Tools catalog and the Simplex catalog.
| Model | Power | For cylinders | Usable oil (in³) | Flow under load | Control |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P392FP | Manual (foot pedal) | Single-acting | 30 | 0.151 in³/stroke, two-speed | Foot-pad release valve |
| XA11 / XA11G | Air | Single-acting | 61 | 15 in³/min | 3-way, 3-position foot valve (G = gauge) |
| XA11V / XA11VG | Air | Double-acting | 61 | 15 in³/min | 4-way, 3-position foot valve (G = gauge) |
| PA133 | Air | Single-acting | 36 | 8 in³/min | 3-position treadle |
| PA166 | Air | Single-acting | 72 | 8 in³/min | 3-position treadle |
| PA1150 | Air | Single-acting | 80 | 8 in³/min | 3-position treadle |
| PATG1102N / PATG1105N | Air (Turbo II) | Single-acting | 127 / 230 | 10 in³/min | Foot or hand treadle |
| PAMG1402N / PAMG1405N | Air (Turbo II) | Double-acting | 127 / 230 | 10 in³/min | Locking treadle + 4-way valve |
| Simplex GA90 / GA9230 / GA9460 | Air | Single-acting | 90 / 230 / 460 | 11 in³/min | Foot pedal |
| Simplex GA9230D / GA9460D | Air | Double-acting | 230 / 460 | 11 in³/min | Foot pedal with valve |
The XA12 and XA12V families are the 2-liter versions of the XA11 pumps.
How to choose a hydraulic foot pump
- Shop air or not. No air supply means the P392FP. With air, an air foot pump does the pumping and the operator only works the valve.
- Single-acting or double-acting. Double-acting cylinders need a 4-way valve: XA11V/XA11VG, Enerpac PAMG Turbo II or Simplex GA9230D/GA9460D.
- Oil capacity. Usable oil must be more than the cylinder's oil capacity plus the hose. For example, an RC106 (10 ton, 6.13 in stroke, 13.7 in³) runs on any pump here, while an RC506 (69 in³) needs a Turbo II PATG1102N (127 in³) or larger.
- Air supply. XA pumps run on 30 to 125 psi air; PA pumps on 60 to 120 psi at about 9 scfm; Turbo II pumps on 40 to 115 psi at about 12 scfm.
- Already own a hand pump? The PC11 kit converts a P39, P77, P80 or P801 steel hand pump to foot operation.
Foot pump questions
What is the difference between a hand pump and a foot pump?
Both build the same 10,000 psi. A foot pump frees both hands to hold and align the work, which is why it is the usual choice for presses, cutters and repetitive positioning jobs.
Is there a foot pump for double-acting cylinders?
Yes. The Enerpac XA11V and XA11VG, the Enerpac PAMG1402N and PAMG1405N Turbo II pumps and the Simplex GA9230D and GA9460D all control double-acting cylinders. The manual P392FP is single-acting only.
What is XVARI on the XA pump?
XVARI is Enerpac's variable-flow foot control on the XA Series. The harder the pedal is pressed, the faster the cylinder moves, which gives fine control when positioning a load.
