This is a still representation
and possibly also a low-resolution image of a fully animated pump.
|
|
|
Rotary Cam Pumps come in many variations. This animation is also called
a Cochrane Rotary Pump. It is not in use now and is mainly of historical
curiosity. |
|
In this model the intake is the lower tube on the right and the outlet
is at the top. The piston slide arm moves around inside a slot in the casing. |
|
As an eccentric cam rotates the circular plunger (shown in gray) around
the edge of the casing, fluid is swirled around the edge to the outlet
port. |
|
One variation of this type of pump is the Kinney Rotating Plunger Pump
which ejects the fluid through a hollow in the slide pin and a discharge
port on the discharge side of the pump. |
