Hydraulic Power Unit Basics

For over 45 years, Bailey International has set the standard for engineering excellence in mobile hydraulics. As a trusted industry leader, Bailey designs and manufactures hydraulic power units that serve as the driving force behind the most demanding applications. Our unwavering commitment to quality and innovation ensures that every power unit delivers optimum performance, reliability, and durability.

The Foundation of Every Hydraulic System

A hydraulic power unit is the core of any hydraulic system—responsible for transforming fluid power into controlled, mechanical force. Bailey International’s units consistently deliver the precision and strength required by professionals in agriculture, transportation, construction, and manufacturing.

Each Bailey hydraulic power unit is engineered with three essential components:

  • Motor: Initiates the system with dependable power and consistent rotation.
  • Pump: Ensures reliable fluid movement and system efficiency.
  • Valve: Provides precise control, directing hydraulic fluid exactly where needed.

Every Bailey hydraulic power unit is built to exacting standards, offering flexibility and superior performance across a vast range of configurations.

Tank

The tank is engineered to safely store hydraulic fluid, with capacities ranging from 0.5 gallons to over 1,000 gallons. Bailey offers meticulous sizing to meet your specific operational requirements.

Pump

Our pumps are designed for seamless operation inside the tank, providing optimal suction and maximizing system longevity. Each pump is selected to fit the unique flow and pressure needs of your application.

Valve Options

Bailey provides an extensive selection of valve types, each manufactured for superior control and robust service life. Our valves activate work ports that efficiently power cylinders, jacks, and steering mechanisms.

Motor

Bailey’s catalog includes a broad spectrum of motors to meet any need:

  • DC Motors
  • AC Motors
  • Hydraulic Motors

Each motor is engineered to deliver efficient and reliable performance in your specific application. Our DC motors are designed for use in mobile and industrial equipment, with options for low voltage/high torque or high voltage/low speed applications. AC motors are available in both single and three phase options, suitable for a wide range of agricultural, construction, and material handling equipment. For heavy-duty machinery requiring precise control and smooth operation, our hydraulic motors offer superior performance.
