The hydraulic pump is a device that transforms mechanical power into hydraulic energy providing the fluid to the components of the system.
Hydraulic pump operation
The operation of a pump has two basic characteristics. The first one, is the mechanical action of rotation that creates the vacuum in the suction area and allows the atmospheric pressure to make the oil rise from the tank to the suction pipe; the second one is based on the fact that the pump, carrying the fluid (flow), does not generate pressure, so as the oil meets the resistance to move a load, there is an increase of pressure in the system.
