A hydraulic pump uses fluid to transmit power. Here’s a simplified explanation:
1. Creating Suction: The pump creates a low-pressure area at its inlet. This can be done with gears, vanes, or pistons, depending on the pump type.
2. Drawing Fluid: The low pressure draws hydraulic fluid from the reservoir into the pump.
3. Increasing Pressure: The pump’s mechanism compresses the fluid, significantly increasing its pressure.
4. Delivering Power: The high-pressure fluid is then pushed through the hydraulic system to power actuators like cylinders or motors. These actuators convert the fluid pressure back into mechanical force and motion.
