ha..it is a crapsman wrench tho

[@sthenzel]

Just 0.46mm too large, doesn´t matter that much on 12.9 bolts, they´re hard stuff. If the Crapsman dies on it, who cares?

[@coreyregier5546]

I'm in first year HET and we just started taking little hydraulic pumps apart last week to measure the displacement and whatever, good timing for this video! Also, I think that's cool that you can flip the input shaft around in case your pump needs to be driven the other way.

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.

[@charredskeleton]

If it's an American car either might fit, if it's a Japanese car metric tools will fit but you hands won't!

I like the cavitation talk. Ive seen the end results of water cavitating a diesel injection pump quite a few times. They love to send steel glitter all through the fuel system as the pump detonates slowly.

[@pauldavidson6321]

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 .

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!

[@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.

[@ronroberts110]

Glad you mentioned cavitation. Put your hand underwater and move it from one side to the other really fast. A vacuum pocket will form behind the hand that you can easily see. 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. Great vidya, my friend...

[@marklowther2133]

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.

[@WatchWesWork]

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 am a mechanic for a company which specializes in truck mounted material handling loaders (primarily logs) ran completely by a gear pump mounted to an eaton pto on the underside of the truck transmission and driven by the input shaft of the transmission, typically when we see symptoms of a tired pump we only replace pumps, not disassemble and repair. This vidjayo defintely helped me understand a little more of the witchcraft that goes on inside these pumps

[@moeshouse575]

Moe7404. i worked industrial hydraulics for 20 years. now retired. that demo was the best that subject could EVER be done. the part about pump or motor is a point that even a lot of people that work on them dont even understand

[@neilcarrie3396]

I to work in the hydraulics industry and it does catch a lot of people out. What he stripped down was actually a pump tho because of the 2 different sized ports and the kidney plate seal only sealing off the high pressure side. Some pumps like commercial brand actually run a full seal around the shaft like a motor has but the ports are the give away.

[@mattzze98]

Ist a one directon motor wich needs the sealing only on the higpressure side an a lekage flow from the bearings spots to the Tank side The actuator is labeld as a Motor also Greetings from germany

[@keithcarpentersr.4353]

Moe Shouse I have an old backhoe and not really any power or force when I’m using the backhoe part. Would it be a bad pump?

[@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.

[@pzozack07]

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.

[@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.

[@ActionMax09]

Om Gosh Ave... You have a video for everything. What is it that you do for a living? You're a genius.

[@tomconner9695]

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.

[@JonathanSchattke]

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".

[@4speed3pedals]

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?

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.

+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.

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.

[@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.

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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@ve2vfd]

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).

On a side note... you will want to figure out a safe, simple way to lightly and intermittently heat your veg oil for easier pumping. Also, if you decide to go the gear pump route, keep in mind GP's require clean oil to maintain the effective tolerance of the pumping gears. Actually been running a Diesel on wvo for 10+ yrs and have it just about down to a science.

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.

+AvE I like this new frequency of video releases. Keep it up!

[@a_Gláir]

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.

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!!!!

If you have a clock wise motor, and you bought a counter clockwise pump, would it be easier to swap two wires on the motor, assuming 3 phase?

[@wgm-en2gx]

Thanks for the explanation. I've mistakenly thought that the pump moved oiled through the mesh of the gears. The first thing I thought when you opened it was how does the oil move through such a close mesh. Now it makes perfect sense that it doesn't and in retrospect it was a little stupid to think that it did...

[@TheRealPOTUSDavidByrd]

So pressure is torque and flow is horsepower. Gotcha. Thanks for all the videos! I've learned a lot!

[@eustus815]

I really like the video one can understand easily

[@VikingPickles]

This was a really cool video to watch since we just replaced a much, much larger gear pump at work last week. The one thing I don't understand though is how ours are lubricated or sealed since they pump molten plastic instead of oil. Maybe they still have it sitting in the maintenance area and I could look at it, I'm definitely going to check it out Wednesday.

[@aglaycock1]

What sort of temperature is the plastic at? if I had to guess it will be a viton or PTFE o-ring to deal with the temperature and then the lubrication will not be present due to the low speeds I would expect a plastic pump to run at. Do you know the speed? It probably runs in bushes as above, but without hydrodynamics support. If it runs fast or the loads are high then it will have to have a sealed shaft and roller bearings or journal bearings external to this seal. If you find out let me know, sounds like an interestingly niche application. I design engines, so it is a bit left field for me :)

[@VikingPickles]

The plastic is at different temperatures depending on the material blend, but usually around ~450f going into the gear pump. The RPMs vary from machine to machine but are fairly low, from say 40 to 125 RPM. Also just in case you were curious these are used to extrude the plastic into sheets.

[@aglaycock1]

Pretty slow then, you'd only have bushes or rolling element bearings for that speed. Bushes seem more likely. But I would think they would have to be external from the horrible plastic that is oozing through the pump. I don't know how easy it is to dynamically seal molten plastic on a shaft, depends on the pressure. If you are interested in pumps, automotive variable displacement pumps are works of art. 2009.tokyo-motorshow.com/gallery/photo/140_010_Parts-W/img_s/SY1_IMG_8712.JPG

The pressure is 1200 psi, and that photo just blew my mind.

[@aglaycock1]

Without going into too much detail. 1. The outer ring of the pump pivots on that black pin on the left, and is resisted by the spring on the right. 2. The high pressure outlet also supplies the other side of this housing. So as the pressure builds it tries to pivot the housing on the spring. 3. As the housing pivots you will see that the inner and outer pump rings will be more aligned until they are perfectly aligned, at which point the pump will displace nothing. 4. So to control this there is a little electronic solenoid that regulates how much pressure is pivoting the housing. 5. When the engine is at very high speed you don't need the massive amount of oil that the pump is displacing at that speed, and with old pumps the relief valve just dumps this oil to the sump. With these variable pumps the pump only supplies the amount of oil the engine actually needs at any given speed, thus saving a lot of energy/fuel. I went into too much detail...

[@granjadelcastillohatchery4725]

I think the arrow on the backplate means the inlet port if you will use it as hydraulic motor... correct me if i'm wrong

[@EETechs]

Those Buna n seals also blow out sometimes that can cause the pump to be low flow.

[@maxhaines9063]

The flow vs pressure thing, would that transfer to pneumatic systems?
