A vane pump is a type of positive displacement pump that uses vanes mounted on a rotor to move fluids. It is commonly used for hydraulic systems, automotive applications, and fuel transfer due to its efficiency and ability to handle a wide range of viscosities.
🔧 How It Works:
-
Rotor: Spins inside a cavity (pump housing).
-
Vanes: Slidably mounted in slots on the rotor and pushed outward by centrifugal force or springs.
-
Chamber Expansion: As the rotor turns, vanes maintain contact with the pump casing, forming expanding chambers on the inlet side (drawing fluid in).
-
Chamber Contraction: As the rotor continues turning, the chambers shrink, forcing fluid out through the outlet.
