Frequently asked questions about hydraulic components
What types of hydraulic pumps are there?
There are various types of hydraulic pumps, which differ in their mode of operation and areas of application. The most important types are
-Gear pumps:
These pumps have a simple design and are robust. They are available as internal and external gear pumps, which pump the hydraulic oil through the rotary movement of gears. They are ideal for applications with low to medium pressures.
-vane pumps:
These pumps use moving vanes in a rotor to pump the hydraulic oil. They offer smooth and quiet performance and are often used in medium pressure applications.
-Piston pumps:
Here, moving pistons pump the hydraulic oil. There are axial piston and radial piston pumps, which are suitable for high pressures and precise applications. They offer high efficiency and are used in high-pressure systems.
-Screw pumps:
These pumps transfer oil through rotating spindles that move the oil along a screw design. They are characterized by their smooth running and high flow rates.
How does a hydraulic valve work?
A hydraulic valve controls the flow of hydraulic oil within a hydraulic system and thus regulates the pressure, direction and quantity of oil that is directed to the various components. The function of a hydraulic valve depends on its type (e.g. pressure valve, directional control valve, flow control valve):
What is an LS regulator?
An LS regulator (load-sensing regulator) is a special type of hydraulic regulator that automatically adjusts the pressure and flow rate of a hydraulic system to the current demand. It measures the pressure difference between the pump and the load and ensures that only the required amount of hydraulic oil is pumped. This saves energy and operates the system more efficiently, as it only delivers as much power as is actually required. LS regulators are often used in mobile hydraulic applications to reduce fuel consumption and increase the service life of the system.
