Danfoss Power Solutions recently launched its new shhark® Z17 gear pump, which brings better noise performance and greater durability for distributors and their customers. In this update, learn how Danfoss Power Solutions is leveraging its the new Product Introduction (NPI) Center to support the R&D development and fast prototyping for products like shhark®.

With its newly improved and quieter patented design, the recently introduced shhark® Z17 gear pump will be making lots of noise in the marketplace.

Available to Danfoss Power Solutions distributors since January, the new shhark® has better noise performance than its model Z19 predecessor, thanks to an optimized helical angle and it has better durability thanks to the fewer number of teeth in its new design.

“We’re very excited with the market launch of our new shhark® gear pumps,” said Giacomo Fragassi, Strategic Marketing Manager. “The Z17 is available in displacements ranging from 6 cc to 28 cc GR2 frame size and it’s recently been added to our Design Center – making it immediately and easily configurable!”

The new shhark® offers distributors and their customers a host of performance benefits including:

Flow pulsation reduction of 78% compared to standard gear pumps
Higher volumetric efficiency by 2% over standard gear pumps
Noise emitted at lower frequency, resulting in high sound quality
Low noise performance throughout the life of the pump
Noise level reduced by up to 10 dB(A) compared to standard gear pumps
