| A hydraulic pump is a
mechanical device that converts mechanical power into hydraulic energy.
It generates flow with enough power to overcome pressure induced by the
load. |
| |
| A hydraulic pump performs two functions when it operates. Firstly, its
mechanical action creates a vacuum at the pump inlet, subsequently
allowing atmospheric pressure to force liquid from the reservoir and
then pumping it through to the inlet line of the pump. Secondly, its
mechanical action delivers this liquid to the pump outlet and forces it
into the hydraulic system. |

| Hydraulic pumps are
mainly driven by: |
- Electric motors
- Diesel engines
- Petrol engines
- Gas turbines (in
arcraft)

| Types of hydraulic
pumps: |
| Hydraulic pumps are
mainly
positive displacement pumps.
Positive displacement pumps are divides into two categories. Namely
rotating pumps and reciprocation pumps |
