Frequently Asked Questions:
What are 3 types of hydraulic pumps?
There are three different types of pumps: hydraulic gear pumps, piston pumps and a vane pumps.
How does a hydraulic pump work?
A hydraulic pump is a mechanical device, designed to convert mechanical power into hydraulic energy. It creates mechanical action which, in turn, creates a vacuum at the inlet to the pump. This creates a pressure differential, which forces liquid from the reservoir into the inlet. The mechanical action of the pump directs the liquid to the pump outlet.
Where are hydraulic pumps used?
A hydraulic power unit is most commonly used in heavy equipment and machinery (e.g. construction or mining machinery). However, hydraulic are also found in a multitude of other devices, such as escalators or elevators, dump trucks, vehicle braking systems, fuel pumps and all sorts of other automated manufacturing machines.
