Piston Pump Product Guide
Brands We Repair:
What They Do:
Piston pumps, as used in hydraulic systems, and
they create a flow by pistons moving in and out of
cylinder bores as the latter pass over inlet and
outlet ports. The stroke is imparted to the pistons
either by having the cylinder barrel set at an angle
to the drive shaft or by means of a swashplate
mounted on the drive shaft.
Primary Types and How They Work:
Axial Piston Pump:
An axial piston pump is a positive displacement pump
that has a number of pistons in a circular arrangement
within the cylinder block. They can be used as a
stand-alone pump, a hydraulic motor or with a type
of compressor.
Radial Piston Pump:
Radial Piston Pumps can produce a very smooth
flow under extreme pressure. Generally they are
variable-displacement pumps. In variable pumps,
flow rate changes when the shaft holding the rotating
pistons is moved with relation to the casing
(in different models either the shaft or the casing moves.)
Output can also be varied by changing the rotation speed.
Combination Pump:
A Combination Pump consists of a
external gear pump and a radial
piston pump with constant pumping
displacement. The radial piston pump is
coupled with a flange and a coupling onto
the primary gear pump.
