What is a Hydraulic Pump?
A Hydraulic Pump is a vital component in a hydraulic system, designed to generate a flow of hydraulic fluid. It operates by creating a vacuum at the pump inlet, which forcibly draws fluid from the reservoir into the pump. The fluid is then pushed under pressure through the system to perform work.
Its primary function is to convert mechanical energy into hydraulic energy, thereby powering various machinery components. In essence, the hydraulic pump serves as the heart of the hydraulic system, setting the pace and direction for fluid movement, and ultimately, enabling the smooth operation of the entire system.
