What Are The Advantages And Disadvantages Of Hydraulic Pumps

Hydraulic pumps can be found everywhere in the Marine industry, mainly for driving and controlling various mechanical equipment. Hydraulic pump applications include steering gear, winch, crane, anti-roll fin, hatch cover, propeller control, hydraulic steering gear, etc.

The advantages of hydraulic pumps mainly include:

• High power density: Hydraulic pumps have a high power density, can provide high power and large flow, while the volume is relatively small, light weight.

• Strong controllability: the hydraulic pump can control the load by adjusting the flow rate and pressure, with high flexibility and adaptability.

• Fast response speed: hydraulic pump can quickly respond to load changes to achieve faster dynamic response.

• Stable torque: The output torque of the hydraulic pump is stable, which can achieve better stability.

• High degree of automation: hydraulic pump can achieve a high degree of automation, high control accuracy. The output flow and pressure of the hydraulic pump are controlled by microcomputer, which is convenient and flexible, and can be programmed according to the production process requirements.

• Energy saving: Hydraulic pumps have higher mechanical efficiency than other types of pumps and can reduce energy consumption.

• Sensitive to oil pollution: hydraulic pumps have high cleanliness requirements for oil, and if there are impurities or particles in the oil, it may lead to wear or blockage of the pump.

• Need to replace the oil regularly: the hydraulic pump needs to replace the oil regularly during long-term use to maintain its performance and stability.

• Noise and vibration: the hydraulic pump may produce noise and vibration during operation, and corresponding shock and noise reduction measures need to be taken.

• Sensitive to pressure fluctuations: hydraulic pump is more sensitive to pressure fluctuations, if the pressure fluctuation is large, it will affect its performance and stability.
