The Yale FPS-2/0.5 A is a two-stage foot-operated hydraulic pump rated for 700 bar with a 500 cm3 useable reservoir. The pump operates single-acting hydraulic cylinders with BOTH forward and return strokes controlled by foot operation - leaving the operator's hands free for load positioning.
Foot-operated for repeated applications where hands must remain free
Yale describes the FPS as designed for repeated applications such as checking of welding samples, pressing of connection components (crimping), actuating of clamping devices, and any application where hands must remain free. The pump operates independently of external energy and is easily portable. Yale notes the FPS is a real foot-operated pump - the return stroke of the connected cylinder is also released by foot control.
Suitable Applications
Per Yale: checking welding samples, pressing connection components (crimping), actuating clamping devices, and all applications where hands must remain free.
Match the pump to the cylinder volume and check the coupler type against your hoses and fittings; a pump that will not connect is the commonest problem on site.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the return stroke work by foot?
Yes. Yale specifies the FPS as a real foot-operated pump - the return stroke is also released by foot control.
Q: What cylinders work with the FPS?
Single-acting hydraulic cylinders only - the FPS has a single outlet port.
