Port Size: Commonly features SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) standard ports, ensuring compatibility with standard hydraulic fittings and hoses.
Functionality:
The 5K1 46027HYS hydraulic gear pump operates on the principle of positive displacement, which means it precisely moves a fixed amount of hydraulic fluid with each rotation of its gears. This consistency in fluid delivery is crucial for maintaining stable hydraulic pressure and flow rates in a system.
Here's how it works:
Inlet Stage: When the pump is activated, hydraulic fluid enters through the inlet port.
The pump's design prevents fluid from flowing backward, ensuring a unidirectional flow.
Gear Rotation: Inside the pump, two meshing gears rotate. One gear is driven by the input power source (usually an electric motor or an engine), while the other is driven by the meshing action. This rotation creates a void between the gear teeth, which draws in hydraulic fluid from the inlet side.
Fluid Discharge: As the gears continue to rotate, the trapped fluid is carried to the outlet side of the pump. Here, the meshing action forces the fluid out through the outlet port.
Pressure Generation: The continuous flow of hydraulic fluid through the pump creates pressure, which can be controlled and adjusted to meet the specific requirements of the hydraulic system.
Performance Control: The flow rate and pressure can be controlled by adjusting the input speed, which is typically achieved through throttle valves or other control mechanisms in the hydraulic system.
