    1.3 Hydraulic Pumps

    Uploaded by

    Andika
    This document discusses hydraulic pumps used in heavy machinery. It describes different types of pumps, including gear pumps and variable displacement piston pumps. Gear pumps work by using meshing gears to draw oil in and push it out, sealing it with small clearances. Variable displacement piston pumps can vary their stroke length by changing the angle of the swash plate to control flow. The document also covers pump components, operation, and potential issues like cavitation and aeration that can occur.

    The document discusses different types of hydraulic pumps like gear pumps and variable displacement piston pumps. It also covers topics like pump identification, operation, components, and issues like cavitation and aeration.

    The different types of hydraulic pumps discussed are gear pumps and variable displacement piston pumps. Gear pumps have fixed displacement while variable displacement piston pumps can vary their stroke length and displacement.

    Cavitation in hydraulic pumps is caused by a vacuum forming at the pump inlet due to restrictions, small intake hoses, or a low fluid reservoir level. This vacuum allows vapor bubbles to form which then implode under high pressure, creating noise.

    Damper disc with spring type cushions.
    The hydraulic pump is coupled direct to
    the engine flywheel.
    The damper will absorb the engine

    Cavitations

    Oil vapor bubble are created in the hydraulic pump due to a


    vacuum in the pump inlet. The bubbles are carried through the
    pump, as pressure increases they implode (collapse rapidly)
    when exposed to the high pressure.
    Cavitation causes: Restriction at the pump inlet.
    Intake hose too small.
    Reservoir too low.

    A vacuum in High pressure will


    pressure as oil is compress the bubbles
    drawn into pump creating extreme
    form the vapor or air pressure causing the
    bubbles. buzzing noise

    Aeration
    Aeration is air entering the hydraulic system on the inlet side
    of the hydraulic pump.
    The air when compressed at the pump causes air cushions
    through out the system. This results in loss of actuator
    control and over heating

    Cause of Aeration:

    Stable 1. Loss clamps around pump


    inlet pipe.
    Normal
    2. Loss hose fittings (return lines)
    3. Fluid level low.
    4. Return oil line to tank is below
    Unstable
    movement oil level.
    Aeration
    5. Faulty pump shaft seal

    Gear Pump

    Basic Operation.
    The manufacturing clearances between the gears to the wear plates
    and centre housing is small enough to provide reasonable sealing.
    As the gears are rotated they picking up the oil from the reservoir,
    send it around the out-side of the pump, between the gears and
    housing. Pushing the oil out the other side creating a flow.

    Gear Pump Components

    3 2

    1. Drive gear: has an extended shaft to couple into the drive


    2. Driven gear: meshes into the drive gear
    3. Wear plate seals: stop oil bypassing from the high pressure to the low pressure
    4. Wear plates: are pushed against the gears by out-put pressure reducing
    clearance between gears and wear-plates.
