PEM8418 is best understood by its configuration rather than by the series name alone. This Enerpac 8000-Series Electric Hydraulic Pump is set up for double-acting advance / hold / retract operation. Its four-way style of control is appropriate where both directions are hydraulically powered, while the center hold position allows movement to be paused between commands.
How PEM8418 Changes the System Configuration
The defining characteristic of the 8000 platform is scale: high-flow output, a large reservoir and a motor sized for demanding hydraulic circuits. With a 18 gal reservoir, this version occupies a specific capacity point within the series; reservoir sizing should follow the oil demand of the full circuit. A 12.5 hp motor drives the pump, with rated-pressure output specified at 2.0 gal/min @ 10,000 psi.
A practical comparison is PEM8418C. Between the two, input voltage is 230V on PEM8418 versus 460V on PEM8418C. That gives the buyer a concrete reason to choose one model over the other.
Check the hydraulic system's total oil demand against the 18 gal reservoir before final selection.
