Hydraulic Pumps Hydraulic Pump Types

Chapter 4 Hydraulic Pumps

The two main types of hydraulic pumps are positivedisplacement pumps and dynamic pumps.

Chapter 4 Hydraulic Pumps

The two main types of prime movers used in fluid power systems are electric motors or internal combustion engines.

Chapter 4 Hydraulic Pumps

Gallons per minute is the number of gallons a pump can force into the system every minute and thus the amount of fluid flow that pump can produce.

Chapter 4 Hydraulic Pumps

Volumetric efficiency is the relationship between actual and theoretical fluid flow of the pump.

Chapter 4 Hydraulic Pumps

A typical application for a positive-displacement pump includes the fluid power systems on a hydraulic production press.

Chapter 4 Hydraulic Pumps

Fixed-displacement pumps are available in various sizes with different displacement ratings.

Chapter 4 Hydraulic Pumps

Typical applications for variable-displacement pumps include systems that operate with varied system fluid flow, such as industrial robots.

Chapter 4 Hydraulic Pumps

All positive-displacement pumps follow the same basic operational steps to create fluid flow.

Chapter 4 Hydraulic Pumps

A gear pump consists of various types of meshing gears.

Chapter 4 Hydraulic Pumps

An external gear pump consists of meshing gears that form a seal with the pump housing and operates similar to the four basic steps of a positivedisplacement pump.

Chapter 4 Hydraulic Pumps

A lobe pump has two external-driven gears and operates similar to an external gear pump.

Chapter 4 Hydraulic Pumps

An internal gear pump consists of a small external drive gear mounted inside a large internal gear.

Chapter 4 Hydraulic Pumps

Gerotor pump operation is similar to internal gear pump operation, with the inner rotor having one less gear tooth than the outer rotor.

Chapter 4 Hydraulic Pumps

Gear pump manufacturers typically provide assembly diagrams for each specific pump.

Chapter 4 Hydraulic Pumps

A vane pump contains vanes in an offset rotor and rotates the rotor to produce the flow of hydraulic fluid.

Chapter 4 Hydraulic Pumps

Unbalanced vane pumps operate similar to the four basic steps of a positivedisplacement pump.

Chapter 4 Hydraulic Pumps

A variable-displacement, pressure-compensated vane pump is a pump that automatically adjusts the amount of volume it displaces per rotation by centering the rotor when the pressure in the system starts to build.

Chapter 4 Hydraulic Pumps

A balanced vane pump has two inlets and outlets at opposite sides of the pump and contains an elliptical cam ring.

Chapter 4 Hydraulic Pumps

A cartridge assembly is located in a vane pump and houses the vanes, rotor, and cam ring, which are all placed between two plates.

Chapter 4 Hydraulic Pumps

Vane pump manufacturers typically provide assembly diagrams for each specific pump.

Chapter 4 Hydraulic Pumps

Axial piston pumps consist of a number of pistons, a piston block, piston shoes, a swash plate, and a shaft and operate with four basic steps.

Chapter 4 Hydraulic Pumps

A variable-displacement piston pump has a swash plate at an angle that can be varied, thereby varying the amount of fluid flow (gpm).

Chapter 4 Hydraulic Pumps

Bent-axis piston pumps operate in the same manner as an axial piston pump, but rather than the swash plate being at an angle, the pistons and piston block are at an angle.

Chapter 4 Hydraulic Pumps

Radial piston pumps consist of reciprocating pistons in cylinders and can be classified as cam or rotating piston pumps.

Chapter 4 Hydraulic Pumps

Cavitation occurs as gas bubbles expand in a vacuum and implode when entering a pressurized area.

Chapter 4 Hydraulic Pumps

Hydraulic pumps are available in both double and triple pump designs

Chapter 4 Hydraulic Pumps

Hydraulic pump schematic symbols are used to determine general information about the type of pump used in a system.
