Windust Hydraulics supply the Vickers V10 and V20 series fixed displacement pumps by Eaton, which are of the Vickers balanced vane type construction.
V10 and V20 single pumps have rated flow capacities of 3.8 to 27.2 L/min and 23.5 to 51.1 L/min respectively.
All models are designed for use with oil or synthetic fire-resistant fluids. Shaft rotation is either clockwise or counterclockwise, but can be changed by modifying the assembly of internal parts.
SAE 2-bolt mounting flanges are standard, and foot-mounting brackets are optional. Many electric motor manufacturers can supply drip-proof or totally enclosed, fan cooled motors with end bells on which the pumps can be mounted.
Internal inlet and outlet pressure chambers are diametrically opposed. As a result, pressure-induced radial loads are balanced, and bearings have to carry the external load only. Low vane tip/ring loading allows high pressure operation. High speeds are possible because the inlet flow paths are designed to give uniform oil acceleration, and thus better filling characteristics, particularly at low inlet pressures.
