Hydraulicpumps
Besides being positive displacement pumps, they are also categorized as either:

Fixed displacement pumps Variable displacement pumps


Fixed displacement pumps move the same volume of oil with every cycle. This volume is only changed when the speed of the pump is changed. Variable displacement pumps can vary the volume of oil they move with each cycle - even at the same speed. These pumps have an internal mechanism which varies the output of oil. 6/14/2011 Satya Narayan Shah

The centrifugal pump is an example of the nonpositive aspect, it simply moves the fluid and allows for back flow.

VANE PUMPS
Vane pumps are fairly versatile pumps and can be designed as single, double, or even triple units. All vane pumps move oil using a rotating slotted rotor with vanes fitted into the slots.

VANE PUMP PRINCIPLE

Two types of vane pumps are most often used:


The unbalanced vane pump uses the basic principle of a turning rotor with vanes working inside a fixed rotor ring. However, the operating cycle only happens once each revolution. So this pump has only one inlet and one outlet port. Also, the slotted rotor is now set offside in a circular ring.

Unbalanced Vane Pumps-

Balanced Vane Pumps-The rotor is driven by the drive shaft and


turns inside an oval rotor ring. The vanes are fitted into the rotor slots and are free to move in or out. The pump has two inlet ports, located opposite each other. And it has two outlet ports, also on opposite sides of the pump. Both sets are connected to a central inlet and outlet.

Precautions for Pneumatic Accumulators


NEVER FILL AN ACCUMULATOR WITH OXYGEN! An explosion could result if oil and oxygen mix under pressure. Never fill an accumulator with air. When air is compressed, water vapor in the air condenses and can cause rust. This in turn may damage seals and ruin the accumulator. Also, once air leaks into the oil, the oil becomes oxidized and breaks down. Always fill an accumulator with an inert gas such as dry g p yg gas nitrogen. This g is free of both water vapor and oxygen; this makes it harmless to parts and safe to use. Never charge an accumulator to a pressure more than that recommended by the manufacturer. Read the label and observe the "working pressure." Before removing an accumulator from a hydraulic system, release all hydraulic pressure. To disassemble, release both gas and hydraulic pressures. To disassemble, make sure that dirt and abrasive material does not enter any of the openings
6/14/2011 Satya Narayan Shah 101

SPRING-LOADED ACCUMULATORS
In operation, pressure oil loads the piston by compressing the spring .When pressure drops, the spring forces oil into the system. The accumulator can be used as a gradual pressure builder for an automatic transmission. When the transmission is shifted, pressure drops and the accumulator sends a "surge" of oil in to "take up slack." This fills the chamber behind the clutch pistons. Then pressure builds gradually for a smooth engagement of the clutch. By controlling the flow of oil to the accumulator, the time needed to charge it can also be controlled
