Tractor Pump
A Tractor Pump is a device that is used to move the large or heavy load such as a forklift or any other equipment which needs high pressure to move it. The main output of the Tractor Pump is the pressure that can be exerted at the end of a long stroke of the input shaft. Usually the input shaft has a roller assembly that has a drive roller and an output shaft. The output shaft is fitted with a relief valve that controls the flow of the fluid into the input shaft and the output shaft. The principle of working of a Tractor Pump is that it uses the force of a moving force to produce a moving object and that it creates a pressure so strong that a vacuum develops between the two ends of the input shaft and the output shaft.
There are three main types of the Tractor Pump - the rotary, the centrifugal and the parallel combination. The rotary type of the pump is quite simple and consists of a cylinder rotor and driven head that have two sets of gears and a roller that are rotors tooth. This type of Tractor Pump has the advantage of being very reliable and also it is very economical. On the other hand, the centrifugal and parallel combination is a little complex as it has some additional parts and it is generally powered by an electric motor. The basic functioning of a Tractor Pump is that it compresses the air in the inlet manifold and then it forces the air through the medium to the outtake manifold where the air is compressed again and is drawn into the final vane.
There are several problems associated with the working of a Tractor Pump such as - knocking and clogging of the inlet valve, overheating of the motor, tooth loss, backfeeding and etc. Therefore it is always advisable to ensure proper maintenance of the Tractor Pump and its parts. For proper maintenance of the parts and the entire system one should always consult a mechanic.
