How To Reverse A Hydraulic Pump

It is well known that hydraulic pumps are widely used in many fields, such as agricultural machinery, aviation, shipbuilding, construction machinery and metallurgical machinery. Although the application of a wide range, but overall hydraulic pump or high-precision equipment, many people lack the relevant knowledge, do not know how to solve the problem. Elephant Fluid Power is a company specializing in hydraulic products. It always puts the customer's experience first to help customers use the products and solve problems more smoothly. Today, Elephant Fluid Power will share with you how to reverse a hydraulic pump.


First of all, hydraulic pumps are generally positive and reverse two cases, if you are not sure whether your pump can be reversed, please consult the mechanic. Allow the reversal of the hydraulic pump in the case of reversal will not happen big damage, the direction of fluid flow and the positive direction of the opposite, oil pump in this case will not oil, and the product can not be on the pressure. Hydraulic pumps that do not support reversal can cause serious damage when the fluid is reversed, and pressure from the fluid may cause the pump to overheat or even explode. So, how do we determine whether your hydraulic pump is now a positive or reverse state? Here are a few ways to look at it.


1, the general shell of the hydraulic pump marked with steering; from the middle of the oil, oil flow direction and two gears bite position (the middle of the pump) in the opposite direction of motion.


2, the hydraulic pump forward and reverse of the division can be from the gear pump suction port and the size of the oil outlet diameter is consistent to distinguish.

When the hydraulic pump suction port and drain port of the same diameter and have a separate drain port, then the gear pump is a two-way gear pump. If the working condition needs, the two-way gear pump suction port and drain port can be interchanged, that is, suction port as drain port, drain port as suction port.

When the diameter of the oil suction port and the oil discharge port of the hydraulic pump are different, the big mouth of the gear pump is the oil suction port, the small mouth is the oil discharge port, and there is no separate oil discharge port, then the difference between the positive rotation and the reverse of the hydraulic pump is, observe the position of the two large and small oil ports from the position of the pump cap. If there is no special note when ordering, buy back is the positive hydraulic pump, installation to understand that the mouth is the oil intake, small mouth is the oil outlet. Of course, if there are special instructions when ordering, it depends on the specific situation of the pump.


After judging clearly whether the hydraulic pump is in the forward or reverse situation, next we want to see is to adjust the direction of rotation of the hydraulic pump to achieve the reversal of the hydraulic pump.

The reversal of the hydraulic pump is actually very good adjustment, follow the following steps can be.

1. Verify that the pump is reversible by checking the manufacturer's specifications.

2.Disconnect the pump.

3. Remove the cap and hose from the pump drain.

4.Connect the tubing from the pump discharge to a high-pressure source, such as a gasoline tank or compressor.

5.Connect the tubing from the high-pressure source to the inlet port of the pump.

6.Reconnect the power to the pump.


In this process, pay attention not to move the oil seal and other parts, so as not to cause damage. If you don't have any knowledge at all, there is a simpler and more efficient solution: contact Elephant Fluid Power. Elephant Fluid Power's staff are all trained and have a good knowledge of hydraulic pumps, which can help you to solve the problem of hydraulic pump reversal. Elephant Fluid Power will answer any questions you may have within 24 hours.
