Squeezing hydraulic fluid, which is mainly water or oil, is a mechanical process of converting mechanical energy into hydraulic energy therefore making a hydraulic pump to be mechanical. The pressurized fluid powers other components such as motors, hoses and multiple cylinders in the hydraulic system.
A pump simply creates flow and pressure so as to transmit power through a hydraulic system. To achieve flow and pressure generation, the pump sucks in fluid from the reservoir then increases its pressure prior to discharging it to different parts of this system. For example, these machines could use gear pumps, vane pumps or piston pumps.
They are commonly seen in construction industry, mining, agriculture, marine as well as manufacturing industries among others. They include those that control the movement of equipment in excavators, cranes, tractors and presses among others. Some advantages associated with these machines are high power density; precise control and smooth operation thus most needed for heavy duty applications where moving parts have to be controlled efficiently yet precisely.
What is hydraulic pump?
A hydraulic pump is a mechanical device that converts mechanical energy into hydraulic energy by pressurizing hydraulic fluids. It serves as a means of generating fluid pressure and flow rate in hydraulics systems for the operation of hydraulic cylinders, motors and other components in various applications requiring high power density, precise control and smooth operation.
