Oilgear
Oilgear
Oilgear is a leading manufacturer of high-pressure hydraulic pumps, valves, and integrated fluid power systems—built for the most demanding applications in industrial, mobile, marine, and press control markets.
About Oilgear
Founded in 1921 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Oilgear got its start building hydraulic presses for mining equipment and grew into one of the fluid power industry's most trusted names for high-pressure, high-performance hydraulic systems. Oilgear was also one of the first companies to bring microprocessor control into hydraulics, a legacy that carries through in its systems and controls product lines today.
Oilgear's product range centers on variable displacement piston pumps—including the PVWJ and PVG series—built to perform in the toughest environments, from mining and marine to forging and extrusion press control. The line extends to Towler prefill and exhaust valves, cartridge valves, hydraulic power units, and subsea pressure control systems, all engineered to hold up under high pressure and heavy duty cycles.
Flow Dynamics and Automation stocks and supplies Oilgear pumps, valves, and components, helping customers keep demanding hydraulic systems running with genuine parts and application support.
