Hydraulic Pumps [ Basics and Types ]

In an industrial facility many different  types of devices and systems are used to  provide the power to perform work one  common method of performing work  involves the use of a hydraulic power  circuit a hydraulic power circuit uses a  liquid under control pressure to do work  one key element in a hydraulic power  circuit is the pump.

Hydraulics is the  use of confined fluids to transmit power  multiply force and modify motion the  entire concept is based on Pascal's law  which states that pressure applied on a  confined fluid is transmitted  undiminished in all directions and acts  with equal force on equal areas and at  right angles to them.

In a hydraulic  power circuit the pump provides the  force to produce flow in the system and  transmit power this illustration  represents a simplified hydraulic power  circuit the circuit consists of a  reservoir a drive motor a pump and an  actuator in this example a linear  actuator or cylinder is used the  actuator supports and moves a load the  components in the circuit are connected  by piping the drive motor may be an  electric motor or a gasoline or diesel  powered engine.

The drive motor turns the  pump the action of the pump creates a  partial vacuum at the pumps inlet or  suction port add miss furyk pressure  acting on the hydraulic fluid in the  reservoir causes the fluid to flow out  of the reservoir and into the pumps  suction port the pump then expels the  fluid out of its discharge port and into  the system piping when the fluid enters  the linear actuator..
