Bent
Axis Pump
|
|
|
This is a still representation
and possibly also a low-resolution image of a fully animated pump.
|
|
|
In this pump, the pistons are at an angle to the drive shaft and Thrust
Plate. The piston block shaft is connected to the drive shaft by a universal
joint, not shown. The drive shaft, thrust plate, piston block shaft, and
piston block all revolve. |
|
|
|
|
|
The connecting rods are attached to the thrust plate and revolve with it,
unlike the swash plate pump where the piston rods slide past a stationary
swash plate. |
|
The outlet ports are semi-circular holes in the Valve Plate, shown on the
far right of the animation on edge and in a head-on view, left.. |
|
As the pump revolves, half the pistons suck in fluid as they pass over
the intake port. The other pistons discharge their fluid through the outlet
port. |
|
This
pump should be compared to the radial piston pump,
swash plate pump, and wobble
pump. |
