Hydraulic Pump Parts

As the power element of a hydraulic system, the core components of a hydraulic pump work together to realize the conversion of mechanical energy into hydraulic energy. The following is a detailed description of the key parts of a hydraulic pump:

First, Core Structural Components

1. Pump Body

Function: Serves as the support structure of the hydraulic pump, holding the working elements and forming the sealing volume.

Characteristics: need to have high strength and corrosion resistance, usually made of aluminum alloy or cast iron.

2. Drive Shaft

Function: Connects to the prime mover (e.g. motor or engine) and transmits rotational power to the working elements.

Design requirements: need to withstand torque and axial force, avoid radial loads to prevent bias wear.

3. working element

Gear pump: through the rotation of two meshing gears to form a sealed volume change, to realize the oil suction and discharge.

Advantages: simple structure, low cost, self-priming ability.

Disadvantages: flow pulsation, high noise, low efficiency.

Vane pump: rely on the rotor vane sliding in the stator curve, change the sealing volume.

Classification: double-acting vane pump (flow uniformity) and single-acting vane pump (variable).

Advantages: smooth operation, low noise, high volumetric efficiency.

Disadvantages: sensitive to oil contamination, poor oil suction capacity.

Piston pump: through the inclined disk or inclined shaft drive piston reciprocating motion, realize high pressure output.

Advantages: high pressure, high efficiency, long life.

Disadvantages: complex structure, high cost, strict requirements for oil cleanliness.

Screw pumps: the use of twin-screw meshing and rotating transfer of liquid, the formation of a continuous sealed volume.

Advantages: stable flow, low noise, good suction performance.

Disadvantages: high manufacturing precision, low power density.

Second, auxiliary function parts of hydraulic pump.

1. Inlet and outlet

Function: Connect the hydraulic pipeline to realize the suction and discharge of oil.

Design requirements: to avoid leakage, usually using seals or threaded connections.

2. sealing device

Type: including shaft seal, end seal, etc., to prevent oil leakage and external pollutants from entering.

Material: commonly used rubber, PTFE and other oil-resistant materials.

3. Variable control mechanism (for variable pump)

Function: Adjust the displacement of the pump to meet the needs of different working conditions.

Control mode:

Hydraulic control: adjust the swashplate angle by pressure signal.

Electric control: Utilizing proportional solenoid to realize precise displacement adjustment.

Manual control: Adjustment of displacement by mechanical lever.

4. Through-shaft drive structure (some pump models)

Function: Allows the installation of a gear pump or a second axial piston pump on the drive shaft of the pump, realizing multi-pump integration.

Application Scenario: Construction machinery requiring complex hydraulic systems.

Third, Key Design Elements

1. Seal Volume Change

Principle: The movement of the working element causes the seal volume to change periodically, realizing oil suction and discharge.

Requirements: the volume change should be continuous and no leakage to ensure efficiency.

2. Self-priming ability

Definition: The ability of the pump to suck oil from the tank without external assistance.

Influencing factors: pump speed, oil viscosity, suction piping design.

3. Efficiency and life

Volumetric efficiency: the ratio of actual output flow to theoretical flow, reflecting leakage.

Total efficiency: the ratio of output power to input power, reflecting the performance of the pump.

Life: depends on the material, manufacturing precision and use of maintenance.

Fourth, typical faults and maintenance

1. Common faults

No output: broken drive shaft, reverse electrical wiring, oil viscosity mismatch.

Loud noise: clogged suction pipe, clogged filter element, worn valve spool.

Insufficient flow: internal leakage, high oil temperature, abnormal oil viscosity.

2. Maintenance recommendations

Periodic inspection: oil cleanliness, worn seals, loose connection keys.

Replacement of parts: worn spool, aged seals, unsuitable hydraulic oil.

Adjust parameters: mating clearance, variable mechanism, system pressure.
