A hydraulic pump is an element capable of transforming mechanical or electrical energy into hydraulic energy and, in turn, into movement of implements, the flow generated by the pump and the pressure of the system will determine the speed and power of these.

The hydraulic pumps could be;

  • Fixed flow: the flow rate only varies by increasing the speed of the pump.
  • Variable flow: the flow is independent of the speed of the pump, it is determined by the need of the system.

Basic maintenance for hydraulic pumps

It is advisable to periodically check or inspect the hydraulic system of your machine and, especially, the pumps to avoid costly breakdowns, pay attention to the following tasks regularly:

  • Pay attention to its correct operation
  • Visually inspect possible leaks and condition of its components
  • Check pressures periodically
  • Analyze the level of vibrations emitted by the machine
  • Change hydraulic oil and filters after service hours listed

Anyway, the best thing to do in order to extend the useful life of the hydraulic pumps as much as possible, is to have professionals specialized in the maintenance of your machine, at Blumaq we have a workshop service where we repair and restore your machine in record time, helped by expert in mechanics.
