Vane pump

A vane pump typically consists of several key components:
Rotor: A circular rotor with slots that accommodate vanes.
Vanes: These are usually spring-loaded and slide in and out of the rotor slots. They form a seal against the pump housing and create chambers that expand and contract as the rotor turns.
Housing: The pump housing contains the rotor and vanes, creating the pumping chamber.
Inlet and Outlet Ports: These allow hydraulic fluid to enter and exit the pump.
Drive Shaft: The shaft that connects to the power source (such as an electric motor or an engine) and drives the rotor.
Vane pumps are known for their simple design and reliable performance in various hydraulic systems, offering efficient fluid transfer and pressure generation. It uses vanes to draw in and push out fluid, providing power for various functions. They’re often tucked inside machinery, especially in construction equipment, working to make things move.
