-Design Features
In all pumps, except the rear pump of triple pumps, fluid flow is developed in a cartridge which consists principally of a cam ring, rotor, ten vanes, and unique side plates and support plates. The bimetallic flexible side plates are located on each side of the rotor with their bronze face toward the rotor and their steel face toward the support plate. Two cavities in each support plate hold high pressure oil against the flexible side plate, thereby hydrostatically balancing the flexible plate and providing optimum clearance with the rotor.
-Performance
For a combination of maximum horsepower in a small package, high efficiency, serviceability and economy, Vickers “high output” pumps are unequalled anywhere in industry.
-Durability
Vickers high speed-high pressure pumps give more staying power–they last. Their workhorse ruggedness has been proved on the newest types of giant earth-moving equipment.
-Reliability & Efficiency
Axial and radial running clearances, along with lubricating oil film on the rotor and vanes, are optimized over the entire operating pressure range. Excellent cold-start capability and superior resistance to seizure make Vickers VQ pumps highly reliable and efficient.
