Pump test bench
Pumps, motors and the test bench
Pump and motor repair with an in-house test bench for pump configurations, and parts for makers from Borg-Warner to Vickers.
Chapter 01
Reading a tired pump before it quits
Worn gear and vane pumps rarely die without warning. You hear a whine that was not there last month, the oil runs hotter than it used to, a cylinder that once moved briskly now creeps, or a motor weeps at the shaft seal. Those are the symptoms that belong on the counter at 116 Wolcott Rd in Terryville, ideally before the machine is down for the day.
Dan Patterson, in a Google review, wrote “The help I got from Joey was top notch. Would highly recommend c&c hydra for all your pump, and hoses.” That matches how most pump jobs start here: someone walks in with a part and a question, and the person behind the counter works out what the machine needs.

The test bench where pump configurations get checked
Our repair page says it in one line: we have an in-house test bench “where we test pump configurations.” A bench matters because a pump on a table tells you little. Bolted down and plumbed with gauges and test hoses, it shows what it does under flow and pressure, which is a better answer than a guess made by eye.
The same repair desk handles hydraulic cylinders, motors and pumps, and heavy equipment control valves. A sticky valve spool and a worn pump produce nearly the same complaint from the operator's seat, so having both on one bench saves a round of swapping parts. Call (860) 582-0308 and describe what the machine is doing.

Thirty-four pump makers, Borg-Warner to White
The makers on our list: Borg-Warner, Char-Lynn, Chelsea, Commercial, Continental, Cross, Dan Foss, Daybrook, Delta, Dennison, Dowty, Dyna Power, Dynex, Eaton, Galion, Gresen, Hydreco, M.T.E., Meyers, Monarch, Parker-Hannifin, Perfection, Permco, Prince, Racine, Ross (TRW), Staffa, Stone, Sundstrand, Tyrone, Vickers, Webster, Whit Hyp IC, White (Rollar Stator).

Not sure we carry yours? Call us today and we'll check if we have it, 860-582-0308. Gear for the rest of the circuit lives with our cylinder repair and our hoses and fittings.
