Comparison of temperature measurements and thermal characteristics of hydraulic piston, vane, and gear pumps

Hydraulic pumps are positive displacement machines and the primary components of fluid power systems that transform energy from mechanical sources to pressurized oils. The reliability and efficiency of pump components are highly dependent on the tribological characteristics of the sliding parts, whi...

Comparison of temperature measurements and thermal characteristics of hydraulic piston, vane, and gear pumps
description Hydraulic pumps are positive displacement machines and the primary components of fluid power systems that transform energy from mechanical sources to pressurized oils. The reliability and efficiency of pump components are highly dependent on the tribological characteristics of the sliding parts, which perform bearing and sealing functions. Higher pressurization and increased compactness result in higher contact pressure and oil temperature, which can cause catastrophic damage to the components and severe deterioration of the oils. Three representative hydraulic pumps—including a swash plate axial piston pump, a pressure-balance vane pump, and an external gear pump—were tested under real operating conditions to determine their thermal effects. Discharge pressures up to 21 MPa and rotational speeds up to 50 s-1 were tested. Hydraulic oils with viscosity grades of 22, 32, and 46 were used at 30°C-50°C. The thermocouples were embedded in the cylinder block, swash plate, and valve plate of the piston pump, cam ring and side plate of the vane pump, and the side plate of the gear pump.
