Choosing the Right Hydraulic Pump
No matter what kind of hydraulic system you may use, it will need to be able to transport fluids in order to work properly. That’s exactly what a pump does. It takes mechanical power and converts it to hydraulic energy by moving fluid from the tank or reservoir to other areas of the system.
It’s incredible to consider the amount of fluid power that a hydraulic pump can generate – and it does so in a very confined space. You’ll find pumps in every type of hydraulic machinery imaginable, including cranes, tractors, mining equipment, agricultural equipment, excavators, and many, many others.
Your needs may have changed, so it’s possible you’re looking for a completely different kind of pump than you had before. Here’s a quick look at some of the more common types of pumps we carry.
- Piston pumps – As the name implies, this kind of pump contains pistons that are made of a cylinder that sits inside another cylinder. Some pumps only need one piston, while others require multiple pistons. These pistons move fluid by moving up and down – they can continue to transport a great deal of fluid even at extremely high temperatures. There are two main piston pump classifications – radial and axial. Get in touch with Gorilla Spares and we’ll tell you which type of pump will work better for your specific application.
- Vane pumps – These get their name from the vanes that protrude from a shaft that sits inside the pump. The vanes separate the pump housing into several different compartments. Each compartment moves fluid from the input area of the pump to the output area as the shaft turns. Vane pumps are great for transporting ammonia, fuel oils, liquid propane, gasoline, and other low viscosity liquids. You’ll find them in mainly automotive and aviation machinery.
- Gear pumps – Gear pumps have two gears that interlock. One gear connects to the drive shaft, which puts the gears in motion. As this happens, they put the hydraulic fluid under a significant amount of pressure. There are several different varieties of gear pumps, including ring pumps, external gear pumps, screw pumps and internal gear pumps.
