Pump Sets include
hydraulic drive systems ,
electromechanical systems, and linear drives.
The Hydraulic pumps can be hydrostatic or
hydrodynamic. Hydrostatic pumps are
positive displacement pumps. Hydrostatic pumps can be fixed
displacement pumps, in which the displacement (flow through the pump per
rotation of the pump) cannot be adjusted, or
variable displacement pumps, which have a more complicated
construction that allows the displacement to be adjusted.
A hydraulic or hydrostatic drive system or
hydraulic power transmission is a drive- or transmission
system that makes use of a hydraulic fluid under pressure to
drive machinery.
Such a system basically consists of:
Hydrostatic means that the
energy comes from the flow and the pressure, but not from the
kinetic energy of the flow.
