-(3) Report about the types of hydraulic pump ?
Here’s a report outlining the types of hydraulic pumps commonly
used in hydraulic systems:
1. **Gear Pumps**: Gear pumps are one of the most common
types of hydraulic pumps. They consist of two interlocking gears, usually spur gears, within a housing. As the gears rotate, they create suction at the inlet port, drawing hydraulic fluid into the pump, and then discharge it at the outlet port under pressure.
2. **Vane Pumps**: Vane pumps utilize vanes mounted on a rotor
within a circular chamber. As the rotor spins, centrifugal force pushes the vanes outward, trapping hydraulic fluid between the vanes and the chamber wall. This creates suction at the inlet port and then pushes the fluid out at the outlet port as the volume between the vanes decreases.
3. **Piston Pumps**:
- **Axial Piston Pumps**: Axial piston pumps consist of a
swashplate mechanism and pistons arranged in a circular pattern within a cylinder block. As the swashplate tilts, it varies the piston stroke, which draws in and compresses hydraulic fluid, creating flow.
- **Radial Piston Pumps**: Radial piston pumps have pistons
arranged radially around a central shaft. As the shaft rotates, the pistons move in and out of cylinder bores, drawing in and displacing hydraulic fluid to generate flow.
3. **Screw Pumps**: Screw pumps, also known as rotary screw
pumps, consist of one or more intermeshing screws within a casing. As the screws rotate, they trap and move hydraulic fluid along the screw threads, generating flow from the inlet to the outlet.
4. **Gerotor Pumps**: Gerotor pumps feature an inner rotor with
fewer teeth and an outer rotor with more teeth, creating chambers between them. As the rotors rotate eccentrically, the chambers change in size, drawing in and displacing hydraulic fluid to produce flow.
5. **Peristaltic Pumps**: Peristaltic pumps use a flexible hose or
tube squeezed by rollers or shoes to move hydraulic fluid. As the rollers compress and release the hose, they create a traveling area of low pressure, drawing fluid in and pushing it along the hose.
Each type of hydraulic pump has its advantages and limitations,
making them suitable for different applications based on factors such as flow rate, pressure requirements, efficiency, and reliability. Understanding the characteristics and performance of each type is crucial for selecting the most appropriate pump for specific hydraulic system requirements.
