Abstract
The invention concerns an external gear hydraulic pump including a pump body housing rotating pinions that mutually engage. Located on opposite sides of the body are a cover and a support, forming an outlet manifold for high pressure fluid. Acoustic insulation elements damp the vibrations produced by the pinions. The acoustic insulation elements acoustically decouple the pump body from the support.
Claims15
An external gear hydraulic pump comprising:
- a pump body housing rotating pinions that mutually engage;
- a cover;
- a pump support forming an outlet manifold for high pressure fluid, wherein the cover and the pump support are located on opposite sides of the pump body;
- and
- acoustic insulation for damping vibrations produced by the pinions, the acoustic insulation comprising an acoustic insulation element acoustically decoupling the pump body from the pump support, wherein
- the pump support includes distinct first and second pieces,
- the first piece is integrally connected to the pump body and constitutes a support body, and
- the second piece constitutes the outlet manifold for the high pressure fluid, and
- the acoustic insulation element is interposed between the first and second pieces so the first and second pieces are not in physical contact with each other.
