A two speed pump is a hydraulic pump which usually contains a safety relief valve and a has an internal setting for a pressure changeover. Typically it creates more flow at lower working pressures and lower flow at higher working pressures. This allows for optimal efficiency across increasing pressures in hydraulic cylinders or other hydraulic applications.
When found in a manual hydraulic tool, the two speed pump is typically preferred as it allows for a lower handle effort at higher pressures, here’s how it works:
The two speed pump’s relief valve is set to a pressure which is typically referred to as a changeover pressure. When the pressure increases in the cylinder or hydraulic system and reaches the changeover pressure, the two speed pump switches from low to high pressure piston.
A two speed pump will switch from low to high pressure pistons when the cylinder hits the changeover pressure (200 PSI for example) as the pressure is increasing. This changeover will occur automatically internally.
Winshaw Hydraulic Tools’ Model HP, manually operated hand pumps come in aluminum or steel. The HP227 and HP232 two speed pumps are some of our most common, manual hydraulic pumps and an example below shows their operation.
While a two speed pump is usually a higher cost than a single speed pump, a two speed pump offers many advantages. For instance, it is easier to operate manually at higher pressures, with less demand on the operator.
The Hi Force HP manually operated two speed pumps come in a variety of models. Most models feature two way valves, but four way valves are also available. With their easy operation and lightweight design, these pumps are a great choice.
All Star pumps are covered by a limited warranty on materials and workmanship for one year from the date of manufacture. Star will repair or replace at its option any pump in which Star finds manufacturing defects. In order to get warranty service a pump must be returned to the Star plant freight prepaid with a written explanation of the problem.
Light hydraulic oil is recommended for use with Star pumps. Oils with SUS viscosity of 75 to 150 at 100 degrees Fahrenheit will give satisfactory performance (ISO grade 15, 22, or 32). In an emergency situation when the above oils are not available, use 5 W or 10 W motor oil or automatic transmission fluid.
All exposed surfaces of standard Star pumps are painted with one coat of industrial quality paint. Pumps painted with special colors with two coat finishes, or with prime coat only, and pumps with special plated or polished parts, are also available.

The main enclosure and interior components are made from metal such as steel or iron so they can withstand high pressures and operating speeds. High speed hydraulic motors are widely used in aircraft, vehicles, industrial lifting and in machinery that requires strong pressurized actions. High speed hydraulic motors, when used in a suitable system, are able to accomplish large amounts of work in short periods of time.
Additionally, hydraulic motors are frequently used in automated manufacturing systems, trenchers, automobiles, construction equipment, drives for marine winches, waste management and recycling processes, wheel motors for military vehicles, self-driven cranes, excavators, forestry, agriculture, conveyor and auger systems, dredging and industrial processing.
High speed hydraulic motors are simple machines that are composed of a reservoir, a pump and rotating machinery. The pump is connected by a line to a motor that draws the fluid, which is usually oil, from a reservoir and into the motor. The fluid forces motion by the moveable parts of the motor as it rotates. The rotation of the motor turns a coupled shaft which provides mechanical motion; the motor serves as the actuator that converts the pressure of the fluid into torque and rotational energy.
The fluid is discharged, filtered and reused. There are three main kinds of hydraulic motors: gear, vane and piston type. The differences among them are related to how the hydraulic fluid causes motion. Gear motors have interlocking gears that are rotated by streams of oil or water, the two most common fluids, being pumped down onto the teeth.
Vane motors have flat blades that move in and out of slots in a rotating wheel and piston type hydraulic motors have at least two pistons that transfer pressure back and forth to generate power. Radial piston motors are very efficient but have limited high speed capabilities. High speed hydraulic motors are able to provide energy for many different functions simultaneously because of the amount of power they can generate and their efficiency; one pump in a system can power several motors.
