HYD. Pumps & Motors

Hydraulic Pumps:

1. Function: Hydraulic pumps are mechanical devices that convert mechanical power into hydraulic energy (fluid flow and pressure).
2. Types: Common types include gear pumps, vane pumps, piston pumps, and screw pumps.
3. Operation: They create flow by moving fluid through mechanical displacement (e.g., rotating gears or pistons).
4. Applications: Used in hydraulic systems for heavy machinery, industrial equipment, and vehicles to provide the necessary force and movement.

Hydraulic Motors:

1. Function: Hydraulic motors convert hydraulic pressure and flow into rotational mechanical power.
2. Types: There are several types, including gear motors, vane motors, piston motors, and radial piston motors.
3. Operation: They operate by using the pressure difference across motor ports to generate torque and rotational motion.
4. Applications: Found in machinery and vehicles where rotary mechanical power is needed, such as in excavators, conveyor belts, and winches.
