The Danfoss PAHT 63 (code 180B0086) is an axial piston high-pressure pump for demineralised and technical water at high pressure. It is oil-free and water-lubricated — the pumped water itself lubricates the bearings, so there is no oil circuit and no path for oil to reach the process. The housing is AISI 304 stainless steel.

Why an Axial Piston Pump
Flow from a positive-displacement axial piston pump is set by displacement and shaft speed rather than by system pressure, so output holds steady as back-pressure rises — unlike a centrifugal pump, whose output falls away as head increases. That matters wherever a nozzle array must keep a consistent droplet size.
- Oil-free — lubricated by the pumped water, so no oil changes and no contamination path into the process.
- No high-pressure mechanical seal — a common wear point on other pump types is simply absent.
- AISI 304 housing, and considerably more compact than an equivalent centrifugal set.
- Field serviceable — Danfoss supplies purpose-designed service kits and tools, which we stock.
