The ISO code on the pump body is stamped "P " for pump or "M" for motor , Motors also usually have a case drain port.it would appear someone has swapped the rotation group to change direction. You have a pump in this clip as indicated by the seals on the thrust plates ,a motor is bidirectional and the thrust seals seals are figure 8 shaped .

As someone who lives in a former colonial outpost, the easiest way to tell imperial fasteners in my garage is by the rounded heads from using metric tools on them...

[@AndyHullMcPenguin]

Another well tested method. Eyeball the fastener, and select the tool you are absolutely certain will fit it.. if you selected metric.. it will be imperial... and if you selected imperial it will be metric. Uncanny.. works every time for me.

There's no air in there, but it is a cavity. I have also seen the inlets being pressurized to reduce cavitation. The highest I saw was 100-PSI, and that was on a 3000-PSI system.

The cut out pieces on the gear side of the bearing holder only allow oil to escape back out into the side of the pump that it came from. Because the groves don't break into where the bearings are. The groves on top do look like they allow the high pressure oil into the bearings. I think this makes sense because if the oil was flowing in and out of the bearings it would not be at as high a pressure. Also I love your channel, and I wish I had lecturers like you at uni.

[@lanwickum]

Those pumps are designed to wear into itself. The gears eat into the housing at break-in making its own clearance. You will always see wear in the housing. The wear is on the low pressure side. High pressure pushes toward low pressure. If the wear goes past the housing locating pins to the high pressure side it is worn out. If you replace the bearings, you reset where the gears are at in the housing and you have internal leakage. Thanks for the vid, sorry my comment is a year late.

What drives hydraulic pump and the pump creates pressure, that pressure is determined by the circuits resistance to the flow of the oil passing through it, where that occurs determines the nominal (required) pressure, and the max or stall pressure. The resistance in the lines orifice fitting filter or valve will determine nominal pressure (the pressure that occurs in the lines when the force driving the pump meets the opposing force (friction) enough pressure builds up to either overcome the resistance or bypass the circuit through the relief valve, of the system is functioning as intended then the H/F starts to transfer the pumps mechanical input to the motor, (pressure and flow) setting the motor into motion and the fluid into the return line.

[@kdknitro]

Your hydraulic videos is how I discovered you, your infrared heat gun trick is worth its weight in gold. Keep up the great info.

[@gotjuggling]

Only positive displacement pumps create flow. Centrifugal pumps create pressure. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm fairly certain, and this makes intuitive sense when considering the high clearance provided in most impeller pumps, and the low clearance in positive displacement pumps like gear pumps or reciprocating pumps.

I wish I would have watched this 6 years ago. I now understand why a Melling oil pump for a small block Chevy has the pressure relief valve and how it controls bearing pressure and yes, it dumps into the crankcase. It contains no o-ring so the design is simpler and works for the needed pressure. KUDOS! As an aside, modern engine machining now uses plateau honing with deep scratches and a finish that is smoothed for the piston rings to seal "against" and the ring seal is the oil, not the pressure. You want no contact between the 2. This is why modern pistons rings live longer. Better seal, less emissions, more power, longer life. Rediscovered by the diesel crowd that make extremely high horsepower. Can you say RVK meter?

[@HerraTohtori]

Hang on, now. Pumps most definitely create a pressure (or rather a pressure differential); that's how they make the fluid move within the pump. The resulting flow applies pressure on the fluid ahead of it, and the whole line of fluid moves as one. Behind the pump, fluid from a reservoir is pushed forward into the pump either by cohesion, or by atmospheric pressure, or by the pressure of the pump being directed back to the reservoir in a closed cycle - either way, it's always a pressure differential that creates a flow. All fluids always move from high pressure to low pressure. If they don't move, then the pressure is constant. However: When the flow is unimpeded (ie. there's no load on the system), the pressure in the system doesn't build very high, only up to what is required to get the fluid moving at exactly that flow rate. Hydraulic pumps usually have a limited speed in order to not rev themselves to death in an unloaded state, so the flow rate doesn't climb insanely high (this is also probably in order to avoid pressure spikes from hydraulic ram effect from the fluid's inertia when the flow is abruptly stopped). In other words, when the pump is running unloaded, it's only working against the backpressure provided by the resistance of the fluid flowing through the system - this is usually quite small but measurable pressure, caused mostly by the viscosity of the fluid. When you start to restrict that flow rate by putting load on the system (like actuating a cylinder or putting resistance on a hydraulic coupling or motor), then the actuator itself produces backpressure to the system. This is when the system really starts to output work to the external world, and this is also generally when you start to hear the engine running the hydraulic pump make a different, more strained kind of sound - it's because the load on the engine is increased, because now it has to work against the increasing backpressure to maintain the fluid flow and to keep providing pressure for the actuator. So what you're saying kind of makes sense, because the flow rate and pressure typically have an inverse relationship - the higher the flow rate, the lower the pressure, and when you're exerting a higher load on the system, the pressure spikes and the flow rate is reduced and, eventually, halted as the actuator backpressure becomes equal to the pump's outlet pressure (pressure differential is equalized so there's nothing driving the flow). So it *superficially* seems like the pump running without load only "creates" flow, and the load - the stopping of the flow - is what "creates" the high pressure. But this doesn't mean the pump doesn't generate pressure - it does, or rather more accurately the pump creates a *pressure differential*. That's the primary mover of the system. Flow always the result of a pressure differential in the system, and flow is also the nature's way of equalizing pressure in the system. It's just that the pressure in the system is *dynamic* and *dependent on the load* on it. The pump is still what generates the pressure that makes the system work at those high loads. At high loads, the pump starts working harder to match the backpressure. I think one confusing thing here is that fluids in hydraulic systems are practically incompressible, so you don't really see the relationship between pressure differentials and flow. Pressure pulses also transfer through the system at speed of sound in the hydraulic fluid, which is why the fluid starts flowing throughout the system very very fast when pressure is applied at the pump end. A pneumatic system using a gas (usually air, sometimes nitrogen in fancy systems where you need to maximize consistency at different temperatures by minimizing the effects of something like condensation of water vapour in the air) as its working fluid, however, will give you a very different impression of how it works, but it makes it more apparent how pressure, compression (density), and flow are interconnected (and temperature, if you want a full thermophysical analysis of the system). But even though the difference between pneumatic and hydraulic systems appears very large, they actually work with the exact same principles. With pneumatics, pressure always comes with compression, and flow becomes a more apparent mechanic as pressure equalizer. That's why, in a pneumatic system, the pump is called the *compressor* - but it doesn't "compress* the air. The compressor is a *pump* that creates a *pressure differential* that drives air from the environment into a reservoir or tank, which - if the flow is obstructed - will then build up the pressure as more and more air is driven into it and compressed. The same things fundamentally happen with hydraulic fluid, but because of its properties, the compression is negligible and almost impossible to demonstrate.

[@sivalley]

Pumps DO NOT create pressure! The pressure you see in a system is derived from the one factor you are missing in your understanding: headloss. ALL fluid systems; be they gasses, fluids, or in some extreme cases solids, have headloss caused by every component in the system except for the pump which adds WORK to the system. Even the smoothest bore pipe has headloss, that is it has a NON-ZERO value that is very small. (See also Carnot Cycle) It is the TOTAL headloss of a system that gives the measurable value we call pressure. The amount of headloss in a system component is directly proportional to the friction coefficient of said component times the volumetric flow rate of the fluid. Pumps also need Net Positive Suction Head (NPSH) to prevent cavitation and the amount of suction head varies with the system fluid's vapor pressure, temperature, and physical VERTICAL distance from the fluid source. In a closed loop system (like a car's coolant system), NPSH comes from the thermal expansion of the fluid. Conversely an open loop (as almost all motor driven pump hydraulic systems) suction head comes from the column fluid height in a tank open to atmosphere since the suction line is 2-3 pipe inside diameters (i.e 1/2" line would be 1 to 1-1/2" inches) from the bottom of the tank and why manufactures specify a MINIMUM fluid LEVEL in the supply tank. The reason you hear the motor straining under load in a hydraulic system is because of the use of a virtually incompressible fluid. All the fluid is doing is transferring a static force (work) from the motor via the pump rotor and fluid to the device under load. If the load is a ram, the appearance of pressure rising in the system is because the load on the ram is applying a force against the incompressible fluid as more fluid is forced into the system. A hydraulic motor is nothing more than an infinite set of small rams in the same way a gear is a set of infinite levers. In gaseous systems a compressor is indeed compressing a fluid, this why they ARE CALLED COMPRESSORS! Gasses all follow the same general principal of Ideal Gas Law/Boyle's law hybrid: P1V1=nRT=P2V2 Where P is the STATIC pressure of a system in ABSOLUTE units (i.e. 1 atm=14.7 psia=0 psig), V is volume, n is a fluid coefficient, N is the specific quantity of the gas, and T is the temperature of the gas. For example in an air compressor at the end of a suction stroke (piston is Bottom Dead Center [BDC])P1 is 14.7 psia and V1 will be 1 ft^3, if we then compress it to 0.1 ft^3 the pressure in the cylinder at its highest point (Top Dead Center [TDC]) the pressure will now be 147 psia. If you look at the equation above again, n is constant because it is a property of air in this case, R has not changed (assuming a 100% pressure tight cylinder), therefore T HAS TO RISE because we added work to the system by compressing the air. This is why compressor discharge is HOTTER than the inlet; the volume of the working cylinder is constantly changing adding work to the gas being compressed. This phenomenon is known as HEAT OF COMPRESSION and it works in both directions. If you have a high pressure gas and release it to a lower pressure region(atmosphere for example), the cylinder will get colder as the previously rejected heat of compression is re-absorbed (this is a major principle in how refrigeration works). But because fluids are essentially incompressible this is why they are favored for work where direct electric motors are not suitable, otherwise a pneumatic system would require MASSIVE compressor/reservoir arrangements to do a similar amount of work. Comparing a gaseous system to a hydraulic system is an incompatible analysis because you are dealing with two DISTINCTLY different phases of mater. As a personal request, please do NOT attempt to pass off "a full thermophysical analysis of the system" as an understanding of thermodynamics centering on heat transfer and fluid flow until you have taken such courses. I would be glad to assist you in getting a better and functional understanding of these subjects if you ask.

[@danalex2991]

Only hydrodynamic pumps create pressure differential within the pump . Positive displacement pumps which most hydraulic pumps are ,create only flow .

[@HerraTohtori]

sivalley 1. for a fluid to start moving, a force needs to be applied to it. 2. A force distributed over an area is called pressure. In this case, the pump creates a force over the diameter of the outlet, which, ah, *forces* the fluid ahead to move. This is pressure. But since the pressure in a closed system (ignoring things like pressure differentials from gravity gradients) is the same on every side, adding pressure to a fluid line not only makes the fluid move, the same pressure is applied to the sides of the lines, and to whatever actuator is at the other end of the line. 3. From this we already know that any pump that makes fluid flow *has* to exert pressure on the fluid. This fact is independent from the pump type. The flow we can see is the effect, while the cause is the pressure. 4. There is no such thing as suction... 5. The ideal gas law (pV = nRT) can be used as an approximation for any fluids, it's just not particularly good for things like liquids. This is because in ideal gas, particles don't interact with each other at all, and only interact with their environment with elastic collisions with the container walls. In a fluid, you have to take into account the increased interaction (bounds) between molecules, which are what makes the fluid practically incompressible. That said, you *can* approximate it with ideal gas law - by assuming the volume remains constant. This is also called an isochoric process, in which only the temperature and pressure of the fluid change in measurable amounts. And yes, of course the temperature of the working fluid increases when it's pressurized. This happens in both hydraulic and pneumatic Also, things like specific heat capacity will be different in real substances than in ideal gas. And things like phase transitions (cavitation) can happen depending on the enthalpy of vapourization, if the pressure drops too low. With a hydraulic or pneumatic system, the work done by the working fluid is generally W = ∫ p dV integrated over the cylinder's volume change from minimum to maximum; this is the work done to expand the fluid against the load on the cylinder. This actually works the same whether you're dealing with an incompressible hydraulic fluid or an expanding gas - the only thing you really need is pressure that is enough to overcome the load on the cylinder. Hydraulic motors are a bit more interesting as they are basically a positive displacement pump in reverse, but fundamentally they are still just the rotary counterpart of a hydraulic cylinder and can be solved in a similar way (though the equation may look different). 6. I know basic thermophysics pretty well. I just didn't feel like elaborating all that much on my initial comment because KZbin in general is not a great platform for discussing such things. I simply wanted to point out the seemingly obvious fact that all pumps *have to create pressure* in order to force fluid to flow. Dan Alex Positive displacement pumps differ from dynamic pumps in that as long as you can maintain the RPM, they produce a constant flow rate, whereas with dynamic pumps the RPM and flow rate are not directly coupled. So with a dynamic pump, you have to spin it at certain RPM to get the fluid flowing at certain rate *at a specific load*, but if the load increases the fluid flow will slow down even if you keep the pump running at steady RPM. To restore normal flow rate you'll then have to increase the pump RPM. With a positive displacement pump, however, the flow rate depends on the torque you can apply to the pump to maintain the constant RPM. Since the RPM of positive displacement pump is generally kept constant, this means that the torque must be dynamic (corresponding to the load). So the pressure created by the pump to push fluid through the lines and work the actuator depends on the torque that is being used to run the pump at a given moment. With no load on the system, you need minimal torque on the positive displacement pump to create the pressure needed to maintain steady flow rate. In other, the head loss is small. As the load increases, the increasing backpressure (or head loss) starts to slow the fluid flow, and the response to that is to ramp up the torque, which makes the pump's outlet pressure increase so that it can keep pushing fluid through the lines and into the actuator. But the pump *has* to produce pressure on the outlet to get the flow going. The flow is an effect, not the cause. Saying that pumps do not generate pressure would be the same as saying that a car's engine doesn't make the wheels spin, it just makes the car move and the wheels spin as a result of them being in contact with the road. It's skipping an important step - how does the car get moving, which is analogous to asking "how does the flow get moving" in a pump.

[@HerraTohtori]

+sivalley 1. No. Force is not the same as work. A force is measured in Newtons. Work is measured in Joules. A force is what pushes on things and makes them accelerate. Work is a way to express the changed energy state of the system - ie. the *work done by the force*. In thermodynamics, work can also be any energy change in the system, like a temperature change - or a volume change, like in hydraulics. 2. You're confusing the definitions of pressure (force per area) and work (result of force, or pressure in this case). With no other load, the pump works to make the hydraulic fluid move in the lines. This is accomplished by applying a force (pressure) to the fluid at the pump's outlet. This is what *makes the fluid move*. Also, yeah, hydraulic systems aren't strictly speaking closed systems. If there's no load on the system, the fluid flows through the pipes and out an opening at the end, into the reservoir. But when the hydraulic actuator is engaged, it *is* a closed system... on one end you have the actuator (like a cylinder) and on other end you have the pump. What do you think the pump does when it *pushes* fluid into the actuator (the hint is in the wording of this question)? 3. Pressure is not even close to being the same thing as work. Static pressure does absolutely no work, for example. Pressure only does work when it's associated in moving something, like when the volume of the container changes. 4. True, in colloquial use there are both suction and cold, but in precise physical terms, these are just a low pressure zone being filled from high pressure zone, and heat transfer from higher temperature (like a human body) to lower temperature zone (environment or a frozen consumable you just took out of the freezer), and it feels "cold" to your senses. But the use of colloquialisms does nothing to improve the physical understanding of the world; to do that you sort of have to be able to process them as what they really are. By all means there's no problem with using the terms in everyday language, but when you use them in physical context, there's bound to be some confusion. Well, engineering lingo has its own nuances, I'm sure they use "suction" routinely and have a precise definition for it, if it works it's good enough I guess. 5. Ideal gas law is an approximation that doesn't absolutely apply to absolutely anything. In real life, depending on the accuracy you need, you have to take into account lots of things even for gases: The angular momentum of the particles, their degrees of freedom (depends on their symmetry), their diameter and mass distribution, the small forces happening between the particles, etc. etc. Ideal gas applies only to a substance known as *ideal gas*; it was just discovered that most gases in most situations behave close enough to ideal gas that the approximation is still useful. If you add correction terms for forces between particle, you end up with much better state equations which can be used for almost anything. For liquids, the biggest change you need is make the volume invariable. Of course that's no longer the "ideal gas law" as we know it then, but more like the "ideal fluid law" - except that with fluids, the difference between real fluids and ideal fluid are much bigger. For example, ideal fluid has the viscosity of zero, which would mean it should provide no head loss at all when you're pumping it through the hydraulic lines at zero... but we all know real fluids all have this property, so you have to, ah, exert a pressure to the fluid to keep it flowing. The equation I posted is correct when you're looking at the work done by fluid inside hydraulic cylinder when pumped in at some pressure p; the work is the pressure causing the cylinder's volume to increase. The flow rate (dV/dt) defines the *power* of the hydraulic cylinder, ie. how *fast* it can get that work done (dW/dt). This is no different from a closed cylinder with expanding gas inside - only, because the fluid is incompressible, the only way to expand a cylinder filled with fluid is to either heat it (which causes a pressure increase caused by thermal expansion, which then does work) or to pump more liquid in. But to pump more liquid in, you need *pressure*. Which is provided by the pump. If the pump can't produce enough pressure (ie. overcome the head loss), then the fluid doesn't go into the cylinder and the cylinder does not do work. Everything grinds to a halt at this point when the *pump cannot produce enough pressure* to maintain the flow. The difference between a dynamic pump and a positive displacement pump here is that a dynamic pump can keep on spinning even when it can't maintain the flow. A positive displacement pump on the other hand slows down and stops when torque becomes too small to maintain the flow, so the simplest way to fix that is to increase torque. But you can only increase torque up to a certain point depending on the motor providing that torque. 6. Posting misconceptions or simplifications from the internet does not make you right either. They may even be *useful* simplifications in terms of teaching the *functionality* to the operators - field engineers - of the equipment, but it doesn't make them physically true. Since there is a direct relationship between the pressure and the load applied to the hydraulic system, it may be simpler to just say that the pressure is "caused" by the load, but that's not true. Even if the pressure is *dependent* on the load, that's not what *pressurizes* the system. For a viscous fluid to keep moving, a pressure needs to be applied to it. This is what the pump does with no load. The flow is the effect, pressure is the cause. This is fundamental basic physics. It's analogous to pushing an object on the floor when there's a resistive force (friction) trying to slow it down - you need a continuous push to keep it moving. In terms of fluids, the viscosity is analogous to friction, and the pressure is analogous to viscosity. Naturally, the pump only starts really working when load is applied to the hydraulic system, but all the pump does is produce a pressure exceeding the head loss (backpressure) from the system, *in order to maintain positive pressure to keep the fluid flowing into the hydraulic cylinder* or through a hydraulic motor or whatever actuator is providing resistance to it. Saying that a pump doesn't create pressure is an absurd and needless complication. Of course the pressure in the system depends on how much load the pump has to deal with, but the *pump is what provides the pressure* that the hydraulic cylinder needs to do work. My car analogy wasn't perfect, but demonstrates the similar kind of backwards thinking as saying that the pump doesn't provide pressure, it just "makes the fluid move". A better analogy would be to say that the engine/transmission doesn't provide torque, it just provides rotation for the wheels and that's what moves the car. You're ignoring the fact that you absolutely need pressure to move fluid around even in a no-load scenario. Just like you need torque to make the wheels of a car rotate. You need to ask yourself, what does the pump do that *makes the fluid move*, hmm?

I was always under the impression that hydraulic motors had the same size ports on either side, so that the motor would spin the same speeds in either direction. Then hydraulic pumps normally had the larger size for suction and the smaller size for pressure, depending on the application.

cavitation is not from boiling, but from moving a surface in contact with the fluid faster than the speed of sound of the fluid.

[@nelumbonucifera7537]

That doesn't sound right - the effect should be dependent on the vapor pressure of the fluid. The bubble collapse does occur at the fluid's speed of sound, though.

[@squareroots3931]

+Hans the speed of sound is different in all materials.

[@marccrocker1908]

@hans the speed of sound waves differs among different materials. high density materials transfer concussion waves faster than low density materials, hence the speed of sound is faster in water than it is in air. grade 4 science ftw

[@fawzanna]

let's do some math, speed of sound in air 340 m/s , a pump gear diameter 25 mm (a big pump )and so 340 /(3.14 *.025) * 60 = 259 872 rpm if you divide that by 1500 rpm or 1800 rpm you find that it is around 173 ~ 144 fold just saying .

[@marccrocker1908]

@fawzan if I'm reading this correctly I think your reasoning is flawed. you're assuming speed of sound in air, at sea level, through the gear. what's flowing through the gear is oil under negative pressure. as AvE said the oil can boil, now I'm not an inganeer or a math magician, but it stands to reason that the density inside the gear is very different from oil at 1 atmosphere of pressure. now I have been wrong once or twice, and could very well be again, but my previous point was to explain "speed of sound of a fluid".

Many Fire Engines use a gear pump attached to an electric starter motor as "primer". The gear pump is used to create a vacuum in the body of the main rotary pump (with the help of a little spritz of oil on the gears) to get the air out of it and flood water into it (from a the tank, a hydrant or a pool/pond). The gear pump is also used to test for leaks in the pump and manifolds valves by creating a vacuum which must be maintained when the primer it turned off (which is why the main gauges go into negative pressure on the panel).

yeah and when she breaks and the guy doesn't show up for a month. fuck that! nawh any way if hes like most of us here hes probably got at least 4 11/16" wrenches. Plus the ones hes had to fuck up to change that one hose jammed up at the back to the valve body some some obscure obsolete machine.

[@JerseyTom]

some would say the real measure of a man is how many combination wrenches he has cut in half and/or welded into funky angles

I love how you go into detail on how to verify that it's a metric bolt and then you wail on it with an 11/16 wrench. You can't script gold like that.

I never really thought about the details of a gear pump and falsely assumed that the oil goes through the middle part, but had been wondering how it would do that as the cavity is pretty small there. Doh. That the oil goes _around_ the outer diameter makes much more sense. #TIL. Your vijeos are a source of interesting information. Skookum as frick. Thanks!

[@tomcummings3471]

never thought about it until seconds before he was explaining it, but I too assumed the flow would go through the middle. which makes absolutely no sense in retrospect

[@MIGASHOORAY]

[@TimpBizkit]

I always imagined the closing in teeth would pressurise the oil (although the oil doesn't change in volume very much at all unlike with compressed air) with some leakage but yes going around the outside makes more sense.

[@Emenblade]

oh and the bearing cut out bits are also to ensure there is flow of new oil past the bearings to keep them cool and lubricated. I dunno if you can get your hands on a variable displacement piston pump, but them things are pretty cool as far as pumps go. we use them in our manlifts for the drive circuit.

[@mythril4]

I use used small pumps on drills or mounted to a motor to function as a viscus fluid pump. If you ever filled a transmission from the bottom of a vehicle, this will make sense. At low pressure, these will pump 140W oils no problem. Another fun point of using these as viscus fluid pumps, flip your motor or drill into reverse and it changes the direct of the fluid (put too much in scenario). Yes at low pressure a battery operated drill will run these with no issues.

[@dummyduhast]

Excellent, I have been trying to figure out why my pump wont build pressure and heats up quickly, after reversing the rotation I didn't get the excess fluid diverter in the correct orientation, works great now, thanks!!!!

[@sovereign126]

Just in case anybody doesn't know this I'll throw it out there. Metric sizing of bolts = M10x1.0 M means Metric standard, 10 representing 10mm diameter including the full height of the thread, 1.0 representing the thread pitch. So that example would be a (roughly!!) fine pitch 3/8th, except not in filthy imperial. FYI a "coarse" pitch is the most common, as shown here, would be M10 x 1.5. The standard thread pitches are 1, 1.25 and 1.5. I find 1.25 the most commonly used on my own vehicle. I find I need to order in 1.0 thread pitches. Can't tell you shit all about the equivalent bolt ratings. Never much worked on fancy dancy imperial stuff. Bigger the ratings number the better the bolt.

[@rsedivy2]

I am a comp sci student with literally zero experience in anything mechanics related, yet I still enjoy the hell out of these vijayos

[@deuceandguns]

Mostly unrelated note. Cavitation also kills wet-cylinder diesel engines when the incorrect antifreeze is used. Many good old diesel engines died of this due to new inexperienced owners.

[@rhunter3406]

That's why all new diesels run OAT coolant similar to dexcool where they already have the proper additives in them. In glycol systems you need DCAs which you also have to ad in when changing it, its kind of like the whole gear oil with anti slip additive already in it nowadays, because way too many people were fucking it up.

[@bryanb7918]

quick question on the backup plate for that lip seal, how exactly does it work to make that 15psi seal hold up to 3000psi? does it just add force back on the lip to keep it from folding over? the reason I'm asking is because my truck has an 87 cummins diesel engine from a Komatsu excavator and they are equipped with a rotary pump with a front lip seal. now normally that lip seal is no big deal because it's just sealing a low pressure vane pump inside the injection pump itself, and is usually only fed up to 12 psi or so. But when people go to bumping up the pumps it gets to be necessary to start upping the pressure of the fuel supply to help keep the pump supplied with fuel and keep the dynamic timing working. But upping the inlet pressure starts to leak past the seal at around 18psi. so what I'm asking is, can you send me a drawing or make a quick video of how that backup plate on the seal is keeping that much pressure in so I can some how make my truck go faster and not fill the crank case with diesel fuel? lol thanks in advance!

[@pauldavidson6321]

The seals don't seal anywhere near 3000 psi ,he's wrong about that 50 to 150 psi is considered high in a pump or motor, the rotation group of the pump directs all high pressure flow to the outlet port it's only a small amount of bypass leakage that gets to the shaft seal to lube the bearings ,heat is far bigger problem for an engine mounted pump like yours, we fit Viton shaft seals to cope with that ,I've had 30 years experience working in the commercial hydraulic industry BTW.

It's not 12.9 in size, it's a rating for the strength of the bolt. It was a 17mm bolt, the 11/16" is close enough..."for the girls he goes out with"

[@ryanbarbolt3691]

This is so true, and so many people miss this, you have to have a stoppage to create pressure. The pressure is what does the work, but you need resistance. Almost exactly the way electricity works oddly enough.

[@dustyroads834]

I work on PC-400 excavators. They have a dual set variable displacement piston pump. To stop cavitation they build the pump with a centrifugal primary pump on the inlet side to somewhat pressurize the oil before the piston section. I thought that was a good idea to make up for a lot of bad ideas that Komatsu has.

[@MohaMMaDiN55]

I love you man. I never seen such an explanation like this for gear pumps. neither in books.

I actually just watch this because it's entertaining and interesting. I don't think I'll ever be using a hydraulic gear pump in my life. But I'll be damned if I don't say that I enjoy the shit out of your videos.

[@chromauk]

cavitation demonstration failure! for shame +AvE you shoulda demo'd a beer bottle breaking. fill 2/3 with water after carefully disposing of the contents. Get a firm grip of the shaft, your aiming for purple over pink here. and with the flat of your palm slap down hard on the bell end! Do it over your designated Art receptacle as the back-pressure from the shock wave causes cavitation and the bottom of the bottle decided to come apart at the seams causing a fair amount of mess. It might not work well with the first bottle but by the time you've disposed of the contents of the twelfth bottle you should be cavitating like a champ. the more science you do, the more lightheaded you become. Fear not, this is a normal side effect of conducting the experiment.

[@sonicdewd]

Woops - fixed volume pumps (turning at a constant ripum) do build pressure at a constant flow. But the pressure is a demand thing where the receiving gizmo does the demanding and can be variable. It is kinda like electricity. Voltage out of the wall for example is a potential that is supposed to not change, but the amperage is a demand thing and usually varies. You can't force more amperage into some gizmo. That gizmo simply demands the amperage. Same as for pumps, which will develop pressure *as needed*. Wall supplies voltage (largely fixed) and *supplies* (if it can) the amount of force (work, amperage) as needed. Pump supplies flow (very fixed in a good, tight pump) and *supplies* (if it can) the force (work, pressure) as needed. (An aside: Force and work can be used interchangeably in this analogy.) I know, nobody cares lol (flame suit on just in case)

[@lourdesamykupusamy4314]

I appreciate your clear explanation and good reasoning.you are professional. Thankyou for sharing without holding any secrets.

[@sc0tte1-416]

I've been in the logistic industry for about 18 years in various positions, so I've operated a crap-ton of different material handling equipment over the years. Something I've noticed with electric forklifts is the older (I'm talking electric trucks here) is the pump would always operate at one speed, ie balls-to-the-wall, no matter how much action you selected on one of your levers. I'm guessing the excess oil was being diverted back to the res via your valve block, but that's a bit redundant. The newer machines seem to not only have control-by-wire, but the pump only works as much as required, none of that sudden motor noise when you just want to move something by a hair.

[@ALegitimateYoutuber]

After hearing you talking about pressure and flow, I wish you would do a few videos just on the basics. Kinda like what you would see in those old education film from like the 40's. Because without a doubt you're knowledgeable enough to get the info right, and I feel you would easily be able to put it all in layman terms.

[@jimnnobody]

Best explanation ever. Thank you.

[@sparkythawelder]

If I'm not mistaken sysyemic pressure does not change the vapor pressure of a liquid. Vapor pressure is effected by temperature. I think what you meant to say was that as systemic pressure drops and converges with the vapor pressure of the oil it will begin to boil causing the pump to capital. Keep up the good work man I love your videos.

[@MindCrime550]

just stumbled upon this channel, 2nd video in. I knew right away this guy is smart and funny. Keep up the good work!

[@ReignofRavens]

When the gear teeth separate it creates a void, which the fluid fills due to atmospheric pressure. Then the fluid travels around between the gear teeth to where they come back together forcing the fluid out. Its just like a plunger style pump, except you have many plungers meshing with and separating from each other.

[@dwaarf]

Nice vid. There is one more way to say what way should the pump turn. You just check how the seals on the sealing elements are fitted. The high pressure part is divided from the low pressure so just by telling which part is which you can tell if the pump is cw or ccw.

[@MG-it9mw]

I just see that you`ve mounted the seals directing the flow from gallery to the inlet. Maybe that is because I have an oil linking in the motor axle, once I have done quite opositte.

You explain things brilliantly. Any chance you could you could get to England by tomorrow and teach my auxiliary course?😩

[@RandoWisLuL]

jet engines use multiple gear pump setups for oil and fuel. where the oil is used for cooling the bearings rather than lubricated because there are no sliding surfaces in a jet engine. they used to use axial piston fuel pumps but they were costly and more complicated. now they use good ol' gear pumps and regulators. ;)

[@Avtovaz21057]

the plate with the seals in is teh specticle plate, and some pumps have a grub screw in them that has to be changed too when changing the rotation of the pump.

[@DrakkarCalethiel]

+AvE surprising that such a little pump needs such a beefy motor. I thought maybe 5hp.

[@HelenaOfDetroit]

hydraulics always give (and thereby take) more power then the size usually indicates. The same can be said for AvE's dick, but only when it's in a vice.

[@ameunier41]

+Nike, Don't forget the center tooth have pressure on them. They have about half of their surface exposed to the high pressure side. So tq=S*P*lever S is surface 2*(1*1/4-1*1/8) in² P is pressure 3000psi L is the distance from the axe to the force, so 1in tq=2*(1*1/4-1*1/8)*3000*1=750 lbin= 125lbft You understand the physics, but beware of calculus error.
