Flow Rate: The flow rate of this pump is a critical specification, indicating how much hydraulic fluid it can deliver per unit of time.
This parameter is typically measured in gallons per minute (GPM) or liters per minute (LPM).
Pressure Rating: Hydraulic systems operate at specific pressure levels, and the pressure rating of the KP0553CGSS is a crucial specification. It determines the maximum pressure it can handle without experiencing damage or leakage. This is often measured in pounds per square inch (PSI) or bar.
Size and Weight: The physical dimensions and weight of the pump are important considerations for installation and transportation purposes. These specifications are typically provided in inches or millimeters for dimensions and pounds or kilograms for weight.
Material and Construction: Hydraulic gear pumps are typically constructed from materials that can withstand the rigors of hydraulic fluid, such as cast iron, aluminum, or stainless steel. The specific materials used in the KP0553CGSS will affect its durability and compatibility with various hydraulic fluids.
Mounting Type: The pump's mounting type indicates how it can be securely attached to the hydraulic system.
Common mounting types include SAE mounts, flange mounts, and foot mounts.
Rotation Direction: Hydraulic gear pumps can rotate in either clockwise or counterclockwise directions. Knowing the rotation direction is essential for proper installation and system compatibility.
Shaft Configuration: The pump's shaft configuration determines how it connects to other components in the hydraulic system, such as the motor or coupling. It can be keyed, splined, or threaded, depending on the application.
