Fixed Vane Pump

A fixed vane pump, also known as a constant displacement vane pump, is a type of hydraulic pump used in various industrial applications to transfer fluids with a consistent flow rate. These pumps are known for their simple design, efficiency, and ability to maintain a steady flow regardless of changes in system pressure.

• 1 - Fixed vane pumps deliver a constant volume of fluid per revolution, providing a steady and reliable flow rate.
• 2 - The design of fixed vane pumps is straightforward, typically consisting of a rotor, vanes, and a pump housing. This simplicity contributes to their reliability and ease of maintenance.
• 3 - These pumps are efficient and can handle a wide range of viscosities, making them suitable for various applications.
• 4 - Fixed vane pumps are generally compact, allowing them to be used in applications where space is limited.
• 5 - The pump has a rotor that is eccentrically mounted within a circular cavity. The rotor contains slots in which the vanes are placed.

Applications:-

• 1 - The hydraulic systems for machinery and equipment, providing a reliable source of fluid power.
• 2 - Commonly used in power steering systems, automatic transmissions, and other automotive hydraulic applications.
• 3 - Fixed vane pumps are used in refrigeration and air conditioning systems to circulate refrigerants.
• 4 - The straightforward construction makes these pumps easy to maintain and repair.
• 5 - Fixed vane pumps are typically not suitable for very high-pressure applications.
• 6 - The vanes can wear out over time, especially when pumping abrasive fluids, requiring periodic replacement.
