Types of hydraulic pumps

Image
  There are generally three types of hydraulic pump structures found in mobile hydraulic applications. These include gears, pistons and blades. However, there are also clutch pumps, vacuum pumps, and dump truck pumps, such as Muncie Power Products' Dry Valve Pumps and Live PakTM. A hydraulic pump is a component of a hydraulic system that takes mechanical energy and converts it into fluid energy in the form of an oil flow. This mechanical energy is taken from what is called the main engine (rotational force) such as the PTO or directly from the truck's engine. With each hydraulic pump, the pump will be of either a single-rotor or two-role design. As its name suggests, the single-rotating pump is designed to operate in one direction of shaft rotation. On the other hand, a bi-circulating pump has the ability to work in any direction. Gear pumps For truck-mounted hydraulic systems, the most common design in use is a gear pump. This design has fewer moving parts, is easier ...
