CBNA-6.3/2.1 Log Splitter Hydraulic Pump 2 Stage Log Splitter Pumps

The CBNA-6.3/2.1 Log Splitter Hydraulic Pump is a two-stage hydraulic gear pump designed for log splitters and similar high-force applications. It features a dual-stage system combining a large displacement low-pressure pump and a small displacement high-pressure pump, delivering up to 30 GPM at low pressure and 8 GPM at high pressure, with a maximum pressure of 3000 PSI at 3600 RPM. This setup ensures rapid cylinder movement at low pressure and high force under load, optimizing efficiency and reducing power consumption. Constructed with a cast iron front and aluminum body, it’s durable for heavy-duty use.

Advantages of 2 Stage Hydraulic Pump for Log Splitter

• Enhanced Efficiency Through Dual-Stage Operation: A two stage log splitter pump combines a high-volume, low-pressure stage for rapid cylinder extension with a low-volume, high-pressure stage for splitting tough logs. This optimizes cycle times, reducing splitting duration while conserving energy, ideal for high-throughput tasks.
• Improved Power Management: By automatically switching between stages based on load, the log splitter hydraulic pump minimizes engine strain. It delivers high flow at low pressure for quick movements and high pressure at low flow for splitting, ensuring efficient use of 5-15 HP engines.
• Faster Cycle Times: The high-flow stage extends the cylinder quickly, often achieving full extension in 3-5 seconds. This rapid movement reduces idle time between splits, increasing productivity for both commercial and residential log splitting operations, especially with large volumes.
• Reduced Wear and Tear: Operating at lower pressures during the initial stage decreases stress on components like hoses, seals, and the hydraulic log splitter pump itself. This extends the lifespan of the hydraulic system, reducing maintenance costs and downtime for log splitter users.
• Versatility Across Log Types: The hydraulic pump for log splitter handles varying wood densities effectively. Softwoods split quickly in the low-pressure stage, while hardwoods engage the high-pressure stage, ensuring consistent performance for diverse applications, from pine to oak, without manual adjustments.
• Compact and Cost-Effective Design: 2 stage log splitter pumps integrate both stages into a single unit, eliminating the need for multiple pumps or complex valving. This compact design reduces installation space and costs, making it a practical choice for 5-35 ton log splitters.

How to Install a Hydraulic Log Splitter Pump?

1. Prepare the Necessary Tools and Components: Gather all required tools, such as wrenches, screwdrivers, and thread sealant, as well as the hydraulic pump for log splitter, hydraulic hoses, fittings, and a compatible motor or engine. Ensure all components are clean, undamaged, and suitable for your log splitter.
2. Mount the Hydraulic Pump to the Engine or Motor: Securely attach the log splitter hydraulic pump to the engine or motor using the correct mounting adapter. Align the pump shaft with the motor shaft, ensuring proper coupling. Tighten the bolts evenly to prevent misalignment or vibration during operation.
3. Connect the Hydraulic Hoses: Attach the suction hose from the log splitter pump to the hydraulic oil reservoir and the pressure hose to the control valve. Use proper fittings and clamps for a tight seal, and ensure the hoses are free of kinks or obstructions for smooth oil flow.
4. Seal All Connections Properly: Apply thread sealant or Teflon tape to all threaded connections to prevent hydraulic fluid leaks. Tighten all fittings securely but avoid overtightening, which could damage the threads or fittings. Double-check all connections before proceeding to the next step.
5. Fill the Hydraulic Reservoir with Oil: Add the appropriate hydraulic oil to the reservoir, ensuring it meets the specifications of your pump and log splitter. Fill the reservoir to the recommended level, avoiding overfilling, which could cause system pressure issues or leaks.
6. Test for Proper Operation: Start the engine or motor and run the hydraulic log splitter pump at a low speed to check for leaks or unusual noises. Cycle the control valve and hydraulic cylinder to ensure smooth operation and proper flow through the system before full-speed operation.
