The 5K2 35017KOM hydraulic gear pump features a robust and durable construction designed to withstand the demands of hydraulic systems.
It is typically composed of high-quality materials such as cast iron or aluminum, which provide strength and longevity. The pump consists of several key components, including gears, a housing, an inlet port, and an outlet port.
Working Principle
This hydraulic gear pump operates on the principle of positive displacement. It consists of two meshing gears – the driving gear (connected to the input shaft) and the driven gear. As these gears rotate, they create a sealed chamber between them. The fluid, typically hydraulic oil, is drawn into the pump through the inlet port and is trapped in these chambers between the gear teeth and the pump housing.
As the gears continue to rotate, the trapped fluid is carried from the inlet side to the outlet side. This action results in the pressurization of the fluid, making it suitable for various hydraulic applications. The pump's flow rate and pressure output can be controlled by adjusting the speed of the input shaft or by using additional control valves within the hydraulic system.
Specifications
The 5K2 35017KOM hydraulic gear pump comes with specific technical specifications that define its performance capabilities:
Flow Rate: The pump's flow rate, typically measured in gallons per minute (GPM) or liters per minute (LPM), determines the volume of hydraulic fluid it can move per unit of time.
This specification may vary depending on the model and application requirements.
Pressure Rating: The pressure rating indicates the maximum pressure the pump can generate. It is typically measured in pounds per square inch (PSI) or bar. Different models may have varying pressure ratings to accommodate different hydraulic system needs.
Inlet and Outlet Ports: The pump features specific inlet and outlet port sizes to ensure compatibility with the hydraulic system's piping and tubing. Common sizes include 1/2-inch, 3/4-inch, or 1-inch ports, but variations may exist.
Material: The pump's construction material, often cast iron or aluminum, influences its durability and resistance to corrosion. The choice of material depends on the intended application and environmental factors.
Mounting Configuration: The pump is designed with specific mounting options, such as a flange or foot mounting, to facilitate installation in various hydraulic systems.
Shaft Size: The pump's input shaft size is an important consideration for connecting it to a power source, such as an electric motor or an engine. Shaft sizes may vary among different models.
