Fixed Displacement Pump

A fixed displacement pump is a type of hydraulic pump that delivers a constant


volume of fluid per revolution. There are various types, including gear, vane,
and piston pumps.

Variable Displacement Pump
A variable displacement pump is a type of hydraulic pump that can vary the
volume of fluid it delivers. There are different types, including axial piston,
radial piston, and bent axis pumps.
How a Variable Displacement Pump Works

1 Swash Plate Adjustment

The angle of the swash plate determines the piston stroke and fluid volume delivered.

2 Variable Flow

The pump adjusts its displacement to match the demand for fluid from the system.

3 Precision Control

It provides accurate flow and pressure control for various hydraulic applications.

Choosing the Right Pump
Flow and Pressure Requirements

Determine the required flow and pressure range for your application.

System Efficiency

Consider the energy efficiency of the pump to minimize operating costs.

Application

Match the pump's capabilities and features to the specific application needs.
Maintenance and Care
1 Regular Inspections

Ensure all components are in good condition and functioning properly.

2 Cleanliness

Maintain cleanliness of the fluid and filter system to prevent contamination.

3 Lubrication

Monitor and maintain proper lubrication levels to avoid excessive wear.


Conclusion
Fixed and variable displacement pumps are essential components of hydraulic systems, each with their
own advantages and applications. Understanding the differences between them allows for informed
decision-making when selecting the appropriate pump for a specific application.
