Hydraulic Pump Applications by Type

Hydraulic Pump Applications by Type
A hydraulic drive system utilizes a pressurized working fluid to deliver power to machinery. Every system has many common aspects. Here we will focus on the hydraulic pump. Its purpose is to pressurize the hydraulic fluid that will be used to drive a machine. The pump can be used to pressurize fresh liquid in what would be called an open loop system, or to re-pressurize fluid after it has driven a motor, known as a closed loop system. In both cases, pump types are matched to certain applications and have different specifications to fit into any process design scheme. Let us take a look at the different types available to engineers and industry.
