The 5K1 46011HYS hydraulic gear pump is designed as a positive displacement pump, which means it delivers a consistent volume of hydraulic fluid for each rotation of its gears.
This design ensures precise control of hydraulic systems, making it suitable for applications where accuracy is paramount.
The pump consists of two interlocking gears - a driving gear and a driven gear - housed in a sturdy casing. These gears mesh together, creating chambers that expand and contract as they rotate, thus drawing in hydraulic fluid and pushing it out under pressure. The gears are precisely machined to minimize internal leakage and provide efficient fluid transfer.
Performance Specifications:
Flow Rate: The flow rate of the 5K1 46011HYS hydraulic gear pump is a critical specification. It determines how much hydraulic fluid the pump can deliver per unit of time and is usually measured in gallons per minute (GPM) or liters per minute (LPM). This specification can vary depending on the pump size and configuration, ranging from a few GPM to several hundred GPM.
Pressure Rating: Hydraulic systems often operate under high pressures. The pressure rating of this gear pump specifies the maximum pressure it can generate or withstand. It is typically measured in pounds per square inch (PSI) or bar. The 5K1 46011HYS pump is built to handle a wide range of pressures, making it adaptable to various applications.
