High-Quality Materials: The 46513MIT Hydraulic Gear Pump is constructed with durable materials, typically including cast iron or aluminum alloy for the pump body and high-strength steel gears.
These materials ensure longevity and resistance to wear and corrosion.
Compact Design: This pump features a compact and space-saving design, making it suitable for a wide range of hydraulic applications, even in confined spaces.
Efficient Gear Mechanism: The pump utilizes a precision-engineered gear mechanism to provide consistent and reliable fluid flow. Gear pumps are known for their simplicity and reliability in delivering a constant flow rate.
Seal Options: Depending on the application and fluid compatibility, the 46513MIT pump offers a variety of sealing options, including lip seals, viton seals, or other elastomeric materials. These seals ensure leak-free operation.
Versatile Mounting Options: The pump can be mounted in various orientations, allowing flexibility in installation and integration into hydraulic systems.
Design and Functionality:
The 46513MIT Hydraulic Gear Pump operates based on the principle of positive displacement. It consists of two meshing gears – an input gear (driven by an external power source, such as an electric motor or an engine) and an output gear. These gears rotate within a tight-fitting housing.
As the gears turn, they create sealed chambers within the pump housing. The fluid (usually hydraulic oil) is drawn into these chambers as the gears separate and then pushed out as the gears mesh together. This process generates a continuous flow of fluid, which is pressurized due to the reduction in chamber volume.
One of the key advantages of gear pumps is their ability to deliver a consistent and relatively pulse-free flow of fluid.
However, they may not be as efficient as other pump types, especially at high pressures or with highly viscous fluids.
Applications:
The 46513MIT Hydraulic Gear Pump finds widespread use in various industrial and mobile hydraulic systems, thanks to its reliability and versatility. Some common applications include:
Hydraulic Power Units: These pumps are often used to provide hydraulic power for lifting, pressing, and clamping applications in manufacturing and construction equipment.
