VEVOR 10,000 PSI Air Hydraulic Foot Pump: features, specs and who it suits

The VEVOR air hydraulic foot pump is a compressed-air-driven pump that supplies hydraulic pressure of up to 10,000 PSI to single-acting cylinders. It is aimed at workshops, auto body repair and machinery maintenance, where a foot pedal frees both hands to position the load. This page explains how it works and what the specifications mean.

What an air hydraulic pump does

A hydraulic pump pushes oil into a cylinder, which extends a ram, press or puller. An air hydraulic pump uses compressed air rather than hand effort or an electric motor to drive that action. The result is steady pressure with less physical work, which suits repetitive jobs such as straightening a frame or pressing parts.

Foot pedal control

VEVOR describes a foot-actuated design that lets the operator pump, hold or release the load while keeping hands free. That is useful when you need to steady a workpiece or watch alignment as pressure builds. As with any hydraulic equipment, release pressure gradually and keep clear of the load.

Understanding the pressure figures

The listing gives a maximum working pressure of 10,000 PSI, also stated as 700 kg per square centimetre or 70 MPa. VEVOR says this suits 10-ton applications. Another figure, a pressure range of 0.7 to 1 (MPa), appears to describe the supply side. Air supply requirements are best confirmed in the manual before connecting a compressor.

Single-acting only

The pump is designed for single-acting cylinders only. In a single-acting cylinder, oil pushes the ram out and a spring or the load returns it. Double-acting cylinders need a different pump with two ports. Check your cylinder type before choosing a pump.

Connections and flow

The air inlet is 1/4 NPT, and the oil outlet is 3/8 NPTF. Matching threads matters, so confirm that your hose fittings and cylinder couplers fit. The listing gives flow as 0.75 to 0.95 litres per minute, with output volumes of 49.5 cubic inches with no load and 7.6 cubic inches under load. Flow slows as pressure rises, which is typical for high-pressure hydraulic pumps.

Oil tank and construction

The reservoir holds 2.3 litres (about 0.6 US gallon), with a listed oil output of around 1.6 litres. The pump core is aviation aluminium, which VEVOR says resists corrosion, and a plastic shell protects the internals. The whole unit is about 15.9 x 11.4 x 8.7 inches and weighs 21.0 lb (around 9.5 kg), compact enough to move around a workshop or site.

Hose and spray gun

A 6.56 ft (200 cm) high-pressure oil hose is included, with embedded steel wire and a thickened outer layer, plus a cast steel oil port. A spray gun about 3.28 ft (100 cm) long is also included. The package contains the pump, the oil pipe and the spray gun.

Who it suits

It suits auto body shops, maintenance teams and workshops that already run single-acting rams, presses or hydraulic pullers and have a compressed air supply.

What to check before you buy

• Cylinder type: confirm your rams are single-acting and rated for 10,000 PSI or more.
• Compressor: check the pump's air requirements against what your compressor delivers.
• Fittings: confirm 1/4 NPT air and 3/8 NPTF oil threads match your hoses and couplers.
• Hydraulic oil: the manual specifies the oil type and fill level.
• Safe use: follow the manual, use rated hoses and gauges, and keep clear of loads under pressure.
