The volume of fluid moved by a piston pump depends on the cylinder volume; in a plunger pump it depends on the plunger size.
The seal around the piston or plunger is important to maintain the pumping action and to avoid leaks.
Variable displacement hydraulic pumps operate on the principle of adjusting the flow of hydraulic fluid to meet changing demands.
The pump can adjust its output by changing the displacement of its internal components, allowing it to provide the necessary amount of fluid without wasting energy.
Volumetric efficiency is determined by dividing the actual flow delivered by a pump at a given pressure by its theoretical flow.
Theoretical flow is calculated by multiplying the pump's displacement per revolution by its driven speed.
