Powerful Motor Options
ARO offers a range of pump motors designed to deliver consistent, industrial-grade performance in even the toughest environments.
- Thunder Series motors are built for high-demand applications where power and durability are essential. With their rugged construction and strong output, they’re ideal for heavy-duty production lines.
- N-Series motors are compact and efficient — perfect for environments where space is limited but reliability is non-negotiable.
- AFX Series motors offer advanced features like a longer 6" stroke for increased fluid displacement, Progressive Exhaust technology for smoother operation, and the True Link Valve for enhanced durability.
They’re engineered for minimal maintenance, maximum uptime, and long-term value.
How Efficient Are Piston Pumps?
ARO piston pumps are known for being highly efficient and reliable, even when handling thick or sticky materials. Their performance depends on the model, stroke size, and how they're used—but here's what makes them stand out:
Strong Fluid Handling Efficiency
Most ARO piston pumps can reach up to 95% efficiency. This means almost all the fluid that enters the pump gets pushed through with very little waste. They're especially good at moving thicker materials like grease, glue, and sealants used in cars.
Less Downtime, Easier Repairs
Thanks to their simple, modular design, ARO piston pumps are easy to take apart and fix. With fewer parts that wear out, you’ll spend less time on maintenance. Models like the 2-ball and 4-ball pumps are especially fast to rebuild.
High Pressure, Low Air Use
Models like the ARO 36:1 and 60:1 pumps create very high pressure—up to 6,000 PSI—while using less air. That makes them great for hard jobs like pushing thick sealants or oils in industrial settings.
Complete Your Setup
To get the most out of your ARO pump system, it’s important to pair it with the right accessories. ARO offers a full line of add-ons to help you improve control, safety, and efficiency in your fluid handling process:
- Fluid Pressure Regulators maintain consistent pressure at the point of dispense, ensuring smooth and accurate delivery of materials — even with changing viscosities or line conditions.
- Dispense Valves & Follower Plates make material transfer cleaner and more efficient by reducing waste, improving flow, and maintaining a clean system.
- Mounting accessories include single-post and two-post rams, floor stands, and wall-mount brackets — allowing you to set up your system exactly where and how you need it.
- Pump Control Systems such as low-level cut-off switches, crossover valves, and electronic controls help automate and safeguard your operation, reducing manual intervention and improving reliability.
