Internal gear pump differ from external gear pump in the arrangement of gears. An internal gear pump also consists of two gears, but one of the gear is internal gear and the other is commonly used spur gear. Both the gears rotate in the same direction.
What is Pilot Operated Check Valve? Working, Types & Diagram
Check valve in its closed position provide an efficient sealing, i.e., avoid leakage completely. But a simple check valve is not suitable for all systems, as it allows flow only in one direction. The need for a better functioning of valve is fulfilled by the use of a pilot operated check valve.
What is Weight loaded Accumulator? Working Principle, Types, Advantages & Disadvantages
Weight loaded accumulator is one of the oldest accumulator.
What is Hydraulic Motor? Working Principle, Types, Advantages & Disadvantages
Hydraulic motors are the type of fluid power motors in which hydraulic energy of oil is converted to mechanical energy (rotary motion and force) to perform some useful work.
What is Gear Pump? Types & External Gear Pump (Working, Diagram & Advantages)
Gear pump is the positive displacement pump in which the suction is created by rotation and meshing of two gears. The fluid enters into the pump through the inlet and is transferred through the outlet port. It pumps the hydraulic fluid through two similar inter meshing spur gears, mounted in a casing, by displacement.
Figure 1: Gear Pump.
What is Vane Pump? Working, Diagram, Parts, Types & Advantages
Vane pump is a rotary and positive displacement pump. The limitation of gear pump, i.e., leakage of fluids is greatly reduced using vane pumps (See Figure 1).
Figure 1: Vane pump.
A vane pump is a rotary pump, which is provided with different radial slots along with an eccentrically placed rotor. The eccentricity of the rotor causes the displacement of high quantity of fluid during delivery stroke compared to suction stroke. Thus, due to this fluid flow rate vane pump is utilized as variable displacement pump, by varying the eccentricity. The maximum discharge a vane pump can have is 1.5 lit/sec, whereas, its maximum pressure is 7 MPa.
What is Hall Effect Transducer? Working Principle, Diagram & Applications
Hall Effect Transducer works on the principle that whenever a thin plate of conducting material carries current in presence of transverse magnetic field, an e.m.f is produced between the opposite edges of the thin plate conductor which is given by,
What is Data logger? Block Diagram, Parts, & Functions
Data loggers are the devices used to measure and store the readings of instruments without any loss of accuracy. They are the application of data acquisition system. The output of a transducer can be measured and the value is logged automatically by the data loggers. They also take care of suitable corrective action if the output signal goes beyond the predefined range.
What is Plotter? Working, Types, Limitations & Advantages
A plotter is a printing device that employs vector graphics technique for printing vector graphics and is connected to a computer. It is a pen based output device used for printing bulk format graphs and maps such as engineering drawings and map constructions. They are widely used for drawing high resolution graphs.
What is XY Recorder? Working & Diagram
The X-Y recorders are the devices that record the variation in one dependent variable with respect to an independent variable. The graphical record of one variable against another variable is known as an X-Y record.
