A hydraulic gear pump is designed to convert mechanical energy into hydraulic energy. They are used in many applications like braking systems, hydraulic systems, fan drive cooling and transmission systems.
Though durable, hydraulic pumps generally don’t last a lifetime. On average, a well maintained hydraulic pump can last 6k-10k hours of operation depending on a number of factors such as pump type, operating conditions, and how frequently the pump runs at its full capacity. If your hydraulic pump is very old or a hydraulic pump repair cost is more than 50% of the market value of the pump, it should be replaced.
Causes of Hydraulic Pump Failure
Before replacing a hydraulic pump try to deter the cause of failure. An internal inspection of the internal components will generally tell the story.
Mechanical Failure
Over pressurized
If a hydraulic gear pump is exposed to higher pressures than it is designed for you will see wear at the bushing and gear tips, usually inside the gear housing too.
Contaminated Fluid
Contaminants such as dirt particles and metal shavings can wear internal components of a hydraulic gear pump faster, leading to premature failure.
Hydraulic Pump Replacement Tips
The wrong hydraulic pump can affect the performance of your hydraulic system or reduce its lifespan. When choosing a replacement pump, consider the flow and pressure specifications provided by the system manufacturer. This is a service Hydraulic.Net provides on every order.
Clean the System
Clean the hydraulic system thoroughly before installing a new pump. Insure the hydraulic fluid is free of contaminants. Replace the filters to prevent dirt from entering the new pump. Use the quality hydraulic fluid, remember cheap recycled hydraulic oil will significantly reduce the life of your hydraulic system.
