Pumps: Head, Discharge & Lubrication Oil Recommendations

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on identifying pumps with the highest head and discharge, as well as recommendations for lubrication oils. It clarifies that "head" refers to static pressure and emphasizes the need to understand specific applications to determine the best pump type. Reciprocating pumps are noted for having high head but low discharge, while centrifugal pumps typically offer low head and high discharge. The conversation also suggests a resource for further information on pump specifications. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for selecting the appropriate pump for various applications.

"Head" is static pressure. For the rest of that, we need to know the application to know what type of pump is best for it.

generally, for similarly sized units, reciprocating pumps have high head & low discharge & centrifugal pumps have low head & high discharge.

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
