hydraulic pump

Pressure-generating machine

A hydraulic pump is a mechanical device that converts mechanical energy into hydraulic energy by moving fluid through a system under pressure.

These pumps are essential components in hydraulic systems, powering everything from construction equipment and aircraft controls to car brakes and industrial machinery.

The pump creates flow rather than pressure; pressure results from resistance to flow in the system.

The excavator's hydraulic pump failed, leaving the arm stuck in position.
