Founded in 1921 and headquartered in Traverse City, Michigan, Oilgear is a global manufacturer of high-performance fluid power and hydraulic equipment, including pumps, valves, motors, meters, actuators, and integrated hydraulic systems Their products serve demanding sectors such as mobile machinery, oil & gas, industrial forming (forging, extrusion), energy, aerospace, and marine, operating reliably in everything from offshore platforms to forging presses
Variable-Displacement Axial Piston Pumps: Includes flagship series such as PVG, PVM, PVV, and PVWJ. These deliver high horsepower and pressure (up to ~450 bar / 6,500 psi) with compact design and precise flow control
XD5 Series: Designed for mobile applications, these pumps offer up to 40% higher continuous rated pressure (~5,000 psi), 20% higher flow and speed (up to 2,700 RPM), and quick response, all enabled by their patented Hard-on-Hard wear-resistant technology and hydro-dynamic bearings
Radial-Piston (“D”) Series: Heavy-duty variable delivery pumps known for durability in fixed or reversible configurations. They simplify system design by reducing the need for separate directional or flow-control valves
Key Technologies:Hard-on-Hard rotating components and hydrodynamic bearings—no mechanical wear parts—deliver infinite bearing life, high contamination resistance, versatility in fluid types (water, water-glycol, standard or synthetic oils), and simplified maintenance

Valves & Rotary Actuators
Screw-in Cartridge Valves: A broad industrial line supporting flows up to 300 gpm and pressures to ~5,000 psi. They feature heat-treated steel-on-steel construction, compatibility with high-water-content fluids, and serviceability with standard tools
Proportional Throttle Valves (SVX family): For precise flow control applications demanding fine regulation and smooth response
Rotary Actuators: Provide compact, high-torque, leak- and drift-free torque control solutions—especially tailored for mobile, energy, and marine applications
