DLT05MAPM1000 Hand-Driven Hydraulic Pump Unit

The DLT05MAPM1000 is designed to supply hydraulic power to operate Permaswage radial swaging tools, which are used to install or repair tube fittings in aircraft hydraulic systems. It provides manual pressure for forming leak-tight connections between metal tubes, eliminating the need for external power. This makes it ideal for both hangar-based maintenance and field repairs where electricity or compressed air may not be available.

This manual hydraulic pump is primarily used to swage repair fittings to tubes in hydraulic systems on the C-17 aircraft, though it can support other military and commercial platforms using Permaswage fittings. Because the pump interfaces with standard Permaswage swaging tools, it’s suitable for applications involving fluid, pneumatic, and fuel line systems found across multiple aircraft types.

The unit can deliver a maximum operating pressure of 10,000 PSI (689 bar), providing sufficient force to activate Permaswage swaging tools for both production and repair tasks. Its pressure gauge, scaled from 0 to 15,000 PSI, features green and red zones for safe operation monitoring. This high-pressure capacity ensures reliable performance during demanding maintenance tasks.

The pump is entirely hand-driven, allowing technicians to generate hydraulic pressure through manual lever motion. Its double-valve design increases efficiency by building pressure with less physical effort, enabling precise control during swaging operations. Because it’s lightweight and enclosed in a rugged carrying case, it’s well-suited for field deployment and mobile repair teams.

Each kit includes the manual pump assembly, a 10-foot (3 m) high-pressure rubber hose, a pressure gauge, and a 26” by 7” protective case. The kit is designed for easy transport and quick setup in field conditions, supporting standard ¼-inch quick-disconnect connections for seamless integration with Permaswage swaging tools.

The DLT05MAPM1000 features a 1/4" quick-disconnect fitting that mates directly with compatible Permaswage DLT tools, including the DLT and DLT2 series swaging heads. This standardized interface ensures quick tool changes and reliable hydraulic coupling without fluid loss or contamination.

The pump is made from cast steel, ensuring strength and long-term durability under high-pressure operation. Components, such as seals, valves, and hoses, meet aerospace hydraulic specifications for resistance to hydraulic fluid corrosion, pressure fatigue, and temperature variations. The result is a robust and dependable power source for swaging operations.

The dual-valve system allows pressure to build up more efficiently, reducing the number of handle strokes required to reach the target pressure. This design minimizes operator fatigue and provides smoother hydraulic response, which is especially beneficial for repetitive maintenance or production-line applications.

The complete pump kit weighs approximately 12.4 lbs (5.6 kg), making it one of the most portable hydraulic power units in the Permaswage lineup. Its compact form factor and durable case allow technicians to carry it easily between maintenance locations or deploy it for on-wing repairs.

The DLT05MAPM1000 is compatible with standard aviation-grade hydraulic fluids such as MIL-PRF-5606, commonly used in aircraft maintenance operations. Using clean, approved hydraulic fluid is essential for maintaining consistent pressure output and preventing internal wear in the pump assembly.

Yes. The manual pump supports all Permaswage tooling and fitting systems, including radial swaging (DLT) and axial swaging (DAT) configurations. This universal compatibility allows it to serve as a backup or portable power unit across multiple Permaswage tool kits.

Its manual operation, rugged design, and compact case make the DLT05MAPM1000 an essential tool for on-site aircraft maintenance and emergency repairs. Technicians can perform precise hydraulic fitting installations anywhere – without relying on external power or compressed air – ensuring mission readiness for both military and commercial aircraft.

The pressure gauge on the Permaswage DLT05MAPM1000 Hand-Driven Hydraulic Pump Unit is designed for high precision, offering an accuracy within ±2% at 10,000 PSI. This level of accuracy ensures consistent and dependable pressure readings during swaging operations, helping maintain the reliability and safety of hydraulic system repairs on the C-17 aircraft.
