Comparing Hydraulic Pumps
Type of Pump | Maximum Pressure (bar) | Maximum Flow (l/min) | Comment |
---|---|---|---|
Centrifugal | 20 | 3000 | |
Gear | 175 | 300 | Positive displacement |
Vane | 175 | 500 | Positive and variable displacement |
Axial Piston - port-plate | 300 | 500 | Positive and variable displacement |
Axial Piston - valved | 700 | 650 | Positive and variable displacement |
In-line Piston | 1000 | 100 | Positive and variable displacement |
- 1 bar = 1x105 Pa = 14.5 psi
- 1 l/s = 2.1 cfm = 15.9 gal (US)/min
