Expert Advice on Mounting Hydraulic Pumps ... For Life

摘要

An essential requirement for the optimum performance and service life of a hydraulic pump is that its pumping chambers fill freely and completely during intake. So if getting maximum pump life is your primary concern (and it should be), then anything that makes the free and complete filling of the pump's chambers more difficult to achieve should be avoided. Suction strainers and most other forms of inlet filtration are a common culprit. With rare exceptions, a suction strainer has no, place in a properly designed and properly maintained hydraulic system.
