Introduction
Pump Converts Mechanical Energy to Hydraulic Energy Pump pushes the fluid into the hydraulic system. Broad Classification
Positive
Pumping Theory
A partial vacuum is created at pump inlet due to internal operation of pump. Atmospheric pressure push the fluid out of oil tank. The pump mechanically pushes the fluid out of the discharge line
Gear Pump
Gear Pump
Lobe Pump
Both lobes driven externally Lobes dont contact each other Quieter than gear pump Volume discharge is more Less mating elements, more pulsation
10
Screw Pump
Axial flow positive displacement pump. Precision ground screw meshing within closed fitting. Non pulsating flow. Idler act as rotating seal.
11
Vane Pumps
Rotor contains radial slots rotates inside a cam ring. Each slot contains Vane designed to mate with surface of cam ring. First half cycle suction, second half delivery.
12
Provision for mechanically varying Eccentricity Pressure compensation by spring force Constant pressure variable delivery pump

Cavitation Problem
Noise problem occurred due to entrained air bubbles. Occurs when suction lift is excessive and the inlet pressure falls below vapour pressure of fluid Air bubbles formed in low pressure inlet region collapsed when reached high pressure discharge region. This produce high velocity explosive forces eroded metallic pump components.

Pump Selection
Select the actuator (Hydraulic cylinder or motor) based on load Determine flow rate requirements Determine pump speed and select the prime mover Select pump type based on application Select System pressure Select reservoir and other components Calculate overall cost of the system Consider factors as noise level, horsepower loss, need of heat exchanger, schedule maintenance.
