XWM2128N-CR Industrial Triplex Plunger Pump with AR1600 Gear Box
The AR North America XWM2128N-CR is a heavy-duty triplex plunger pump engineered for industrial, marine, and chemical-washdown environments that demand consistent, long-duration hydraulic performance. The CR designation identifies this model as factory-configured with a gas engine–compatible AR1600 gear box, converting the standard 1,450 RPM shaft-drive pump into a direct-attach gear box model designed to mount directly onto a 1-inch gas engine crankshaft. This factory-installed drivetrain integration makes the XWM2128N-CR a complete, field-ready solution for operators running gasoline-powered pressure washing and industrial cleaning systems.
Delivering 5.5 GPM at 4,060 PSI while operating at a low 1,450 RPM, the XWM2128N-CR combines the mechanical efficiency of the AR triplex platform with the versatility of gas engine compatibility. The result is a pump system purpose-built for remote, off-grid, or mobile industrial operations where electric power is unavailable or impractical.
What the CR Designation Means on the XWM2128N-CR
The CR suffix on the XWM2128N-CR is a factory-installed configuration code, not a materials designation. It identifies that this unit ships with the AR1600 gear box pre-installed. The AR1600 gear box performs a critical mechanical function: it converts the pump’s standard 1,450 RPM shaft-drive output into a direct-mount interface compatible with a 1-inch gas engine crankshaft.
This distinction is important when selecting the correct pump model for your application:
- XWM2128N-CR includes the AR1600 gear box factory-installed at the pump shaft, enabling direct coupling to a gas engine crankshaft.
- The gear box converts the standard 1,450 RPM pump into a direct-drive gear box model rated for 1-inch shaft gas engines.
- No additional adapters, couplers, or gear box assemblies are required — the XWM2128N-CR arrives ready to mount.
- This makes the XWM2128N-CR the correct choice when specifying a gas engine–driven pump system out of the box.
AR1600 Gear Box — Factory Integration on the XWM2128N-CR
The AR1600 gear box is the defining mechanical component of the XWM2128N-CR configuration. Designed and installed at the factory, the AR1600 bridges the gap between a standard gasoline engine and the triplex plunger pump, enabling direct crankshaft attachment without secondary mounting hardware. For operations that depend on gas-powered equipment, this factory integration eliminates field assembly complexity and ensures the drivetrain coupling is properly aligned, torqued, and tested before shipment.
