What is the function of a main hydraulic pump?
The hydraulic main pump is a critical component of an excavator’s hydraulic system. It functions to generate the hydraulic pressure and flow required to power the excavator’s various hydraulic functions, including the boom, arm, bucket, and swing movements.
The hydraulic main pump is typically driven by the excavator’s engine through a power take-off (PTO) or hydraulic motor. It draws hydraulic fluid from the excavator’s hydraulic reservoir and pressurizes it to the level required for the hydraulic system to operate.
The amount of hydraulic pressure and flow generated by the main pump can be adjusted to suit the requirements of different tasks, such as digging, lifting, or demolition. In some excavators, the main pump may have multiple stages, each providing different levels of pressure and flow, allowing the operator to select the appropriate level for the task at hand.
Overall, the hydraulic main pump is an essential component of an excavator’s hydraulic system, providing the power and performance required for efficient and effective operation.
