About Bosch Racine
About Bosch Racine
Bosch Racine Hydraulics traces its origins to 1958, when the company was formed in Detroit, Michigan as Racine Seco Sales Corporation, later known simply as Racine Hydraulics. The company built its name on vane pump technology, a design widely used in mobile and industrial hydraulic applications that demand long service life, smooth operation, and low noise.
In 1997, Racine merged with Bosch Rexroth, forming what became known as Bosch-Racine Hydraulics, a combination that broadened the company's manufacturing capabilities and reinforced its commitment to a comprehensive line of hydraulic and pneumatic components. Racine's PSV series vane pumps, also known as the SV or Silent Vane line, became particularly well regarded for their durability and precision in demanding applications worldwide.
Beyond vane pumps, Racine also manufactured radial piston pumps for high-pressure hydraulic systems and gear pumps for less demanding flow requirements. Rexroth continues to support these legacy Bosch-Racine products today, and many Racine pump series remain in active service across mobile and industrial equipment. On ChatMRO, buyers can describe the flow rate, pressure rating, or pump series they need to find the matching Bosch Racine component.
