Sundstrand Hydraulic Pump & Motor Guide: Series 20, 90 & Seal Kits

Sundstrand built its name on rugged hydrostatic piston pumps and motors used in mobile and industrial machinery. Now part of the Danfoss family (via Sauer-Danfoss), Sundstrand units are still in service everywhere — and when one needs a seal kit or replacement part, correctly identifying the series is the key to ordering the right component. This guide covers the main Sundstrand families and how to read them.
Sundstrand pump & motor series at a glance
RestoPower stocks aftermarket, OEM-equivalent parts for the most common Sundstrand series:
- Series 15 & 18 – compact hydrostatic units common on smaller mobile equipment.
- Series 20 – one of the most widely used variable-displacement transmission pumps and motors.
- Series 22 & 24 – mid-frame hydrostatic pumps and motors for heavier duty cycles.
- Series 30, 40 & 45 – higher-displacement piston pumps for demanding industrial and mobile applications.
- Series 90 – the modern Sauer-Danfoss closed-circuit axial piston family for hydrostatic drives.
How to read a Sundstrand model number
Sundstrand codes generally start with the series designation (for example, a leading number that identifies the frame size), followed by characters that define displacement, control type, shaft, and porting. Because so many custom and legacy variants exist, always record the complete model number and any casting or nameplate numbers — every character matters when matching a seal kit or replacement piston pump part.
Where to find your Sundstrand model number
Look for the stamped nameplate or ink-stamped code on the pump housing or end cap. If the tag is missing or unreadable, note the shaft type, port arrangement, and any part numbers cast into the housing — our team can often cross-reference from those details.
