Rating the real performance of hydraulic pumps

January 8, 2021 By Mary Gannon

Innas engineers tested a number of hydraulic pumps and motors at both low and high speeds, with varying results. Hydraulic pump performance

Low- and high-speed tests show that pump and motor performance can vary widely, depending on the speed and pressure. That’s critically important in electro-hydraulic actuators and electric-motor drives. Contributed by Peter Achten and Robin Mommers, Innas BV, Breda, The Netherlands Hydraulic component manufacturers generally publish pump and motor data that reflect optimal performance under ideal […]
