Flow Rate: This pump has a maximum flow rate of 5 gallons per minute (GPM).
This determines how much hydraulic fluid it can deliver per minute.
Pressure Rating: It can operate under pressures of up to 2500 pounds per square inch (PSI), making it suitable for demanding hydraulic systems.
Mounting Configuration: The "ORS" in the model name indicates that this pump has an open center, rear connection with SAE O-ring ports for easy installation.
Material: The pump is typically constructed from durable materials like cast iron or aluminum, ensuring longevity and resistance to wear.
Size: The dimensions of the 5C2 40140ORS hydraulic gear pump are designed to fit into various hydraulic system configurations.
Working Principle:
The hydraulic gear pump operates based on the principle of positive displacement. It consists of two meshing gears: a driving gear (usually connected to the motor) and a driven gear. As these gears rotate, they trap and push hydraulic fluid from the inlet side to the outlet side.
During the pump's operation, fluid is drawn into the cavity formed between the gear teeth and the housing as the gears separate.
As the gears rotate further, this trapped fluid is pushed towards the outlet, increasing the pressure in the hydraulic system. This displacement of fluid ensures a continuous flow and pressure, making hydraulic gear pumps suitable for a wide range of applications.
Construction: These pumps are used in heavy machinery like excavators, loaders, and bulldozers to power hydraulic cylinders for lifting and digging operations.
Agriculture: Hydraulic gear pumps are employed in tractors and other agricultural equipment to operate implements such as plows, harvesters, and loaders.
Manufacturing: In manufacturing plants, hydraulic gear pumps are used in presses, injection molding machines, and conveyor systems to control various processes.
Material Handling: Forklifts and other material handling equipment utilize hydraulic gear pumps for lifting and moving heavy loads.
Automotive: Some automotive systems, such as power steering and automatic transmissions, rely on hydraulic gear pumps for fluid power.
