DV Hydraulics carried out a complete overhaul and recommissioning of a hydraulic test bench for the Belgian Defence.

This test bench is used for testing F-16 components, where reliability, accuracy, and maintainability are crucial.

During the inspection, it was found that the existing Parker PV Plus pump (PV092 – American type) showed significant wear.

To ensure operational reliability, the pump was replaced with a new Parker PV Plus PV092 in European configuration.

This choice guarantees identical performance, simplified maintenance, and better parts availability.

Work performed on the test bench:

• Complete inspection and functional check of the hydraulic installation.

• Replacement of the worn PV092 pump with a new European version.

• Replacement of all wear parts, including hydraulic hoses.

• Checking and adjustment of pressures, flow rates, and safety systems.

• Final functional testing of the entire test bench.

After completion of the work, the test bench was recommissioned and is fully operational for testing F-16 components.

This overhaul was carried out with a focus on reliability, ease of maintenance, and continuity of the installation.
