Subject and UNIT: Hydraulics and Pneumatics: Unit I: Fluid Power Priniciples and Hydraulic Pumps

The radial piston pump has a number of radial pistons (in similar fashion to the spokes of a wheel) in a cylinder block which revolves around a stationary eccentric cam.

In the axial piston pump, rotary shaft motion is converted to axial reciprocating motion which drives the piston.

Introduction, Classification

Subject and UNIT: Hydraulics and Pneumatics: Unit I: Fluid Power Priniciples and Hydraulic Pumps

In piston pumps, the pumping action is affected by a piston that moves in a reciprocating cycle through a cylinder.

The displacement of the vane pump depends on the eccentricity between the rotor and the housing, vane cross-sectional area and the rotational speed.

Construction and Operation

Subject and UNIT: Hydraulics and Pneumatics: Unit I: Fluid Power Priniciples and Hydraulic Pumps

In the fixed displacement pump, the rotor-housing eccentricity is constant. Hence the displacement volume is fixed. A constant volume of fluid is discharged during each revolution of the rotor.

Introduction, Types

The major problem in gear pumps is that the significant amount of leakage occurs between the small gaps of teeth, and also between teeth and pump housing.
