At Global Electronic Services, we’re often called upon to service hydraulic pumps. Hydraulic pumps are an important part of a wide variety of manufacturing processes. If you use them in your industry, you need to have them up and running at maximum efficiency as often as possible.

We have seen and repaired all types of hydraulic pumps and can get yours back to you fast if you should have a problem. Here is a little more information about the types of hydraulic pumps we service and how we service them.

Piston Pumps: Piston pumps are the most common and also the most capable of complex jobs. These are the hydraulic pumps you are most likely to find in manufacturing situations. They are the pumps you will use in high-pressure applications. A piston pump is a positive displacement pump that uses a high-pressure seal working reciprocally with a piston to move water. This configuration allows them to operate under high pressure without noticeably affecting flow rate.

Vane Pumps: These are less common and simpler pumps that you can use for lower-pressure applications with high flow rates. Vane pumps are positive displacement pumps that can work with a number of different vanes, including flexible vanes, swinging vanes, rolling vanes, external vanes and sliding vanes. As the rotor of the motor rotates, the vanes sweep liquid to the opposite side of the cavity inside the motor and squeeze it through discharge holes in the cam.

Gear Pumps: This is the most basic hydraulic pump you can use. You will typically use this pump for single, basic applications. Gear pumps work by using two gears which mesh to displace water. The gears rotate together, creating suction as they separate, which draws water into the pump — water it then displaces when the gears mesh together.

The most common problem you will encounter with any hydraulic pump is wear. Like all mechanical parts, hydraulic pumps wear out eventually with use. Contamination and heat issues are the most typical cause of premature wearing-out when it comes to hydraulic pumps.

Although familiarity with all of the different types of pumps is a requirement for all of our trained technicians and definitely facilitates the repair process, the problems that hydraulic pump issues face and the way we resolve them is fairly similar for all types of hydraulic pumps.

We start by fully disassembling the hydraulic pump so we can see each part to try to visually identify what is causing the problem. Once we find what is creating the issue, we will repair it if possible. If not, we’ll replace it with a new OEM part. We will then reassemble the pump and test it to make sure it is operating according to original specifications.

We will replace any worn-out parts with new ones so that when you get your hydraulic pump back, it will be like-new. To ensure your confidence in our repair, we offer our 18-month in-service warranty.

In addition to our promise that you will get back a fully functioning hydraulic pump — usually in five days or less from the time we receive it — you will also appreciate that we have the lowest price anywhere when it comes to hydraulic pump repair. If you can bring us a verified competitor’s price for hydraulic pump repair that is lower than ours, we will beat it by 10 percent.

If you’re having a problem with your hydraulic pumps, you don’t want to waste a minute. Your hydraulic pumps are a critical part of your operation and every hour you spend without a necessary pump could cost you valuable productivity and hurting your bottom line. At Global Electronic Services, our goal is to minimize that downtime by turning around your hydraulic pumps and other mechanical parts in need of repair as fast as possible.

Hydraulic pumps are deceptively complex devices required to operate a proper hydraulic system. A displacement pump uses mechanical energy to create hydraulic power. By increasing and decreasing the volume of a container through a series of openings, it manipulates fluid velocity and creates flow.

While some pumps may only have a few moving parts and operate on the foundations of simple machines, they also require precision and can be easily damaged. Pumps continue to become more complex as people find more specialized applications. Moreover, without proper maintenance and upkeep, these pumps can breakdown and cause damage to other components in your hydraulic process.

Because pumps can quickly develop problems, it’s essential to understand the differences between various pumps as well as the signs of trouble. By closely monitoring your hydraulic system, you can prevent small issues from becoming more substantial and costly problems later.

There are many varieties of hydraulic pumps available. For the most part, these options fall under the three types of hydraulic pumps — gear pumps, piston pumps and vane pumps.

Variable displacement pumps allow for alterations in this displacement process, creating a variety of flow options. Fixed displacement pumps, on the other hand, maintain a consistent operating gap.

These are the most basic hydraulic pump. Gear pumps work by fitting the teeth of two gears together, creating variations in fluid chambers and driving flow. When fluid comes into the intake chamber, the gear teeth make a large opening, allowing plenty of fluid to enter. Then as the gears turn, they shrink the space and displace the fluid, which generates flow. Basic gear pumps operate with two meshed gears, while other pumps alter this format.

Gerotor pumps, for instance, work based on the “gear within a gear” principle. A smaller rotor gear spins inside of a larger idler gear. Fluid enters when the gap between gears is the largest. The rotor moves, space between the idler and rotor gear becomes smaller near the discharge port, displacing the fluid and completing the pumping cycle. These pumps are relatively simple and fast, making them a standard option for low-to-medium pressure pump.

Screw pumps do not necessarily mesh gears together, instead using the principle of an Archimedes screw, which was initially used to move water. The design consists of one or more screws within a cylinder, turned by an external motor. The pump draws in fluid through the intake and fills the gap in the screw. As the shaft rotates, the fluid moves along the path until it reaches the discharge port.

Piston pumps are the most common and also the most capable of complex jobs. These are the hydraulic pumps you are most likely to find in manufacturing situations. They are the pumps you will use in high-pressure applications. A piston pump is a positive displacement pump that uses a high-pressure seal working reciprocally with a piston to move water. This configuration allows them to operate under high pressure without noticeably affecting flow rate.

Bent axis hydraulic pumps operate similar to piston pumps in that the flow runs through a piston and cylinder process. However, in bent axis hydraulic pumps, the pistons are mounted to a rotating plate, which is in turn attached to a slanted axis. As the rotating plate is at an angle, the displacement in the cylinders increase and decrease depending on where they are in the rotation.

These are less conventional and more straightforward pumps that you can use for lower-pressure applications with high flow rates. Vane pumps are positive displacement pumps that can work with a number of different vanes, including flexible vanes, swinging vanes, rolling vanes, external vanes and sliding vanes. As the rotor of the motor rotates, the vanes sweep liquid to the opposite side of the cavity inside the motor and squeeze it through discharge holes in the cam.

If you have a hydraulic pump, it is critical that you and your employees can recognize the first signs of trouble. Immediate attention will reduce the risk of failure and destruction of your other processes.

Hydraulic systems themselves, even without any flaws, can create a variety of noises. Learning the normal operating sound of your machinery is vital because a mechanical breakdown will often identify itself through a noise. Each possible malfunction brings a different type of sound. Cavitation, for instance, can produce a growling, while worn bearings might make whining or screeching.

Another indicator that your pump needs maintenance or repairs is noted inefficiency. This may have several causes related to fluid, such as low fluid in the reservoir or a low-viscosity oil. It could also be a sign of wear or even a sign of stuck inner components like pistons or valves.

Although leaks are a more common problem in hydraulic pumps, high fluid temperature can be more vexing to solve. One reason it presents such an issue is that it can be both an indicator of a problem and a cause for other pump breakdowns — for example, a pump may overheat because it is inefficient, but then it may become more inefficient because it overheats. In other cases, an external factor may cause the pump to overheat, but that overheating could then cause wear or leakage.

Because of this, any problems involving an overheating pump should take into account what causes the temperature issue and what attached components may need to be replaced to avoid difficulties with wearing. Aside from the rise in temperature and overheating, high fluid temperatures will likely be seen through an inefficient pump, though it will undoubtedly lead to worn components and possible noise if not rectified.

Those symptoms, while possibly irritating, do not in and of themselves represent a problem. Rather, they’re likely indicating that one or more of these underlying issues are at hand:

Leaks are the most common problem that can arise in pump usage. Fluid leaks are often easy to identify. In cases of worn components, gaskets or hoses, you may be able to see the fluid. In other cases, a slow, under-performing pump or continually low fluid reservoir may indicate a leak somewhere along the line.

In other cases, the problem is that air works its way into the system. The most common symptom will be a weak or slow pump, and in the case of some oils, the fluid will appear milky. If the issue is only small amounts of air initially trapped in the system, your technician may clear the air by running the machine on low speeds for up to an hour. During this operation, it is essential to run the pump on low with little pressure. The goal is to absorb the air into the fluid and allow it to dissipate. It can also be helpful to bleed air from any high release points in the system, leaving only liquid behind. If an air leak is present, you cannot resolve this by running the machine on low as it will likely admit air more quickly than it is removed.

Cavitation occurs as small bubbles form in the hydraulic fluid. As the fluid puts pressure on these bubbles, they collapse, which releases a tremendous amount of energy in a hydraulic system. This energy can damage internal components and containers. Often, cavitation will lead to multiple noticeable pump issues, meaning you’ll likely see evidence quickly. Unfortunately, it can also destroy a pump within minutes.

In most cases, cavitation will make a growling sound as the fluid interacts with the vacuum. Moreover, cavitation will often cause the pump temperature to rise, leading to a host of other issues. As the air mixes with the fluid, oil may take on a milky appearance. Finally, the pump will most likely run erratically and inefficiently before failing.

Cavitation may be an indicator that the pump had a design flaw. Otherwise, cleaning filters and ensuring that air does not enter the system are keys to preventing cavitation.

Any mechanical component is subject to wear. If you pay careful attention to maintenance guidelines and replacements, you may be fortunate enough never to see worn parts affect your machines. If you fall a little behind on your upkeep schedule, you may notice that the pump is less effective, as loose couplings or internal parts do not fit as tightly as needed for optimal efficiency.

Beyond poor efficiency, you will often begin to hear the problem as well. When parts become looser, bearings wear out or buffers break down, you may hear an assortment of metal on metal, grinding, rattling, grating or screeching. If the wear has gotten to this point, it’s essential that you stop the pump and contact a professional. Wear only worsens over time, and continued use puts more stress on the attached components, adding unnecessary wear to your other machinery and possibly leading to a more extensive replacement project than if you were to address the initial worn parts.

If you suspect your equipment may be showing signs of wear, some fundamental exterior aspects you’ll need to examine are slackened connections and coupling or loose set screws. If these external components are fine, your technician may examine the pump for worn bushings or other overworked internal parts.

As mentioned before, pump temperature is an indication that something is wrong as well as a cause for other issues. One cause of high temperature may be an improper heat load. All machines run with some form of energy loss. The heat load is determined by calculating how much input power is lost to inefficiency, resulting in heat energy. If the pump is running too inefficiently or the power input is too great, the excess energy becomes heat.

Another possible consideration is fluid viscosity — using a lower-viscosity fluid may cause the pump to create excess heat. As with most issues involving fluid temperature, this is a cyclical problem, since the lower-viscosity fluid overheats the pump, which will cause the fluid to break down more quickly and lower the viscosity even further. Finally, cavitation may be another cause of an overheated pump. When a piston pump cannot get a full draw or otherwise mixes air into the fluid, the pump can run erratically. Aside from being noisy and inefficient, the pump will often overheat.

Internal mechanisms can seize up inside of the pump, causing noises and inefficiency. Pistons, veins and other pump pieces can become difficult to move, sometimes making the pump fail to operate at all. Identifying the seized part might also give insight into the possible cause. For instance, rusted components indicate that water is finding a way into the system, while a hardened, varnish-like residue can suggest that the pump is operating at too high of a temperature.

Troubleshooting a pump can be challenging. While knowing common problems and symptoms can be helpful, it is easy to damage the equipment or cause employee injuries through improper adjustments. Cavitation can quickly destroy your entire system. Moreover, as seen in the case of pump temperature, issues can be multi-faceted, leading you to believe you’ve addressed a pump problem only to find out it was just one part of a larger chain.

Still, a maintenance member on your staff may be able to check for preliminary problems, ruling out or adjusting some of the most common issues. Moreover, unclean working environments create intake clogs and a host of other pump problems. Properly purifying valves and filters can both fix current issues and reduce the risk of future breakdowns.

Hydraulic pumps are a staple of essentially every type of hydraulic power transmission system. Hydraulic pumps serve to convert mechanical energy into hydraulic energy, delivered through a flow of fluids which helps to develop the pressure needed to drive a hydraulic system.

Hydraulic pumps are used for a variety of industrial applications, including injection molding machines, lifts, conveyors, presses, pallet jacks, mixers, mills, foundries, forklifts, and more. The more heavy-duty the mechanical application is, the more likely it is to need a hydraulic pump to help produce the kind of power needed to operate it. There are many types of hydraulic pumps in common use, including reciprocating pumps, rotary pumps, piston pumps, gear pumps, screw pumps, vane pumps, plunger pumps, and others.

Hydraulic pumps are really at the center of many essential factory and industrial operations. But because these devices operate under high pressure and high demands, there are also several potential sources of problems. Following a regular routine of maintenance is incredibly important for the longevity of these devices. But even so, hydraulic pump failure can still occur. Here are some of the common issues we see with hydraulic pumps at AES.

One of the most common causes of hydraulic pump damage has to do with debris mixing in with the internal liquids. This debris causes friction, leading to inefficiency, extra wear on the pump mechanism, and some potential malfunctions.

The hydraulic fluid used within these pumps will break down over time. If the viscosity of the fluid is too high, that can lead to cavitation. And if the viscosity of the fluid is too low, that can result in damage from excessive friction.

Excess heat can result in hydraulic pump damage, and can eventually contribute to pump failure. This heat can come as a product of improper fluid viscosity, or from external environmental factors.

Excessive pressure puts excessive loads on hydraulic pumps, which can be both damaging and unsafe. This pressure leads to faster component wear and premature failure – which can even happen in a violent fashion.

Sometimes air bubbles can be trapped inside the hydraulic fluid. Pressure can cause these bubbles to collapse; in extreme circumstances, this can lead to pump failure as a result of implosion.

This doesn’t refer to air in the hydraulic fluid, but rather air which gets into the pump through improperly-sealed shafts or joints. If you notice your pump whining or making other audible high-pitched noises, this may be a sign of pump aeration. If left unchecked, this can result in a breakdown of your pump.

All Star pumps are covered by a limited warranty on materials and workmanship for one year from the date of manufacture. Star will repair or replace at its option any pump in which Star finds manufacturing defects. In order to get warranty service a pump must be returned to the Star plant freight prepaid with a written explanation of the problem.

Light hydraulic oil is recommended for use with Star pumps. Oils with SUS viscosity of 75 to 150 at 100 degrees Fahrenheit will give satisfactory performance (ISO grade 15, 22, or 32). In an emergency situation when the above oils are not available, use 5 W or 10 W motor oil or automatic transmission fluid.

All exposed surfaces of standard Star pumps are painted with one coat of industrial quality paint. Pumps painted with special colors with two coat finishes, or with prime coat only, and pumps with special plated or polished parts, are also available.

Hydraulic pumps are used in almost every type of production system, from plastic mold injection machines to the common conveyor belt. With proper maintenance, most hydraulic pumps will operate smoothly for years, but even with proper maintenance, the pressure inside these devices will eventually cause failures that need to be addressed as soon as possible. The way to avoid total system failure is by monitoring your pumps and looking for the following warning signs.

Liquids should remain in the tubes that were designed for them. If you notice any liquids anywhere else inside the pump, you have a problem. A line may have a break, or a seal may be loose. No matter what the case, an interior leak means your pump has gone bad.

Have you discovered liquid on the outside of your pump? This means either an interior leak has worsened or there could be a leak on the HPU that the pump is mounted to. This leakage results in reduced pressure in the system and immediate action is required to repair and salvage the pump. Leaking reduces the pressure, which increases the temperature of the system. This affects the viscosity of the oil, reducing the pressure in the system.

Increased fluid temperatures can be the result of the system’s inability to dissipate heat. In most systems, heat within the fluid dissipates through the fluid in the reservoir and a heat exchanger. Heat can cause the fluid to thin, which prevents proper lubrication and may cause pump leaks, reducing pump efficiency and system performance.

Hydraulic fluid that has a milky appearance is a clear indication of water contamination. One source is condensation buildup on the walls of the fluid reservoir as a result of temperature changes from warm days to cool nights. Water contamination can also corrode the pump and other critical components, which can shorten component life. Periodic fluid changes and draining of the water from the reservoir ensure water removal from the system.

If your seals continuously leak and fail, your pump may be operating with a bent or misaligned rod. Depending on the extent of the damage, a skilled machine shop may be able to repair your existing equipment, allowing you to get the most out of your equipment and minimizing costs.

System moving slow? If performance decreases, this could be a sign that your hydraulic pump is starting to go bad or your system is designed incorrectly. This lack of efficiency indicates a lack of flow.

You never want to let your system run if your pump is suffering from any of these problems listed above because it means your system is on the verge of experiencing pump failure. These symptoms are an indicator that something could be seriously wrong and could result in some expensive damage to your hydraulic system. The hydraulic experts at Pneumatic And Hydraulic Company can help in identifying the warning signs and replacing your pump before the damage becomes too costly.

A hydraulic pump can prove useful for a variety of different purposes, but it is important to first know how they work. Hydraulics is an important component of many types of equipment. If you’ve asked yourself “how do hydraulics work?”, read on to discover the answer.

A hydraulics system uses compressed fluid to transfer an applied force between two different points. There are quite a few basic parts that make up a hydraulics system, including a cylinder, filter, motor, fluid, valves, hose, pump, and reservoir.Cylinder: A hydraulic cylinder applies unidirectional force, and is considered the muscle of the system.

Hydraulic Fluid: This is extremely crucial to the system’s entire operation; it helps cool the system, drives away contaminants, and transfers energy.

Reservoir: Think of a reservoir as the hydraulic system’s septic tank. The reservoir stores the fluid and separates any solid contaminants from the fluid. It is also used for heat transfer.

Additionally, the construction industry relies on hydraulics systems for concrete pumping, brick molding, and more, while farmers may need hydraulics systems for their equipment. Another industry that relies on hydraulics systems is the automotive industry; vehicles use hydraulic systems for braking, steering, cooling, and more.

When it comes to answering the question: how do hydraulics work?, it is also important to talk about the components of a hydraulics system. The major components of a hydraulics system are the filter, hose, motor, cylinder, pump, valves, and reservoir. As previously mentioned, each component is needed to ensure that the entire system operates properly.

For example, the pressurized hydraulic fluid (located inside the cylinder) acts on both the piston and the rod. The cylinder’s strokes take the pressure or fluid power and turn it into mechanical force. When the piston and rod extend, the oil level in the reservoir decreases. The valves are another critical component. The first thing to note about these valves is that there are two primary kinds of valves in a hydraulics system.

The two varieties of valves are pressure relief directional control. The purpose of pressure relief valves is to make sure that the system’s components and plumbing are protected from pressure overload. Pressure relief valves also decrease how much output force cylinders and rotary motors can exert. With directional control valves, as the name implies, they control the fluid’s path throughout the hydraulics system.

Hydraulics do in fact require maintenance; you should make sure to check the filters and fluid levels on a regular basis. You should also replace the filters when necessary.

It is also a good idea for you to regularly inspect the entire system. If you opt for a professional inspection, the person performing the inspection will look for fissures, cracks, and wear. These inspections can help you avoid having to pay for expensive repairs later on. They can also limit the chance that the hydraulics system will seriously malfunction.
