The rotor which contains radial slots is supplied to the driving shaft and
rotates inside the mate with surface as rotor turns. Centrifugal force keeps the
vanes sat against the surface of the cam ring. During one half revolution the
volume increases between rotor and cam ring. The resulting volume expansion
causes a fluid to flow through the second half revolution. Surface of cam ring
pushes the vanes back into their slots and trapped volume is reduced.
A balanced vane pump is one that has two inlet and two outlet ports,
diagrammatically opposite to each other. Thus pressure ports are opposite to each
other and a complete hydraulic balance is achieved. One disadvantage of balanced
vane pump is that, it can’t be designed as a variable displacement unit. Instead of
having a circular cam ring, a balanced designed vane pump has an elliptical
housing which forms two separate pumping chambers on opposite sides of rotor.
This eliminates the bearing side loads and thus permits higher operating pressure.
Motor is used to drive the vane pump to pressure gauge are used. One is
attached to delivery side and other is attached to the delivery side. Rotameter is
used to measure discharge. Filters and trainer are used for filtering. Two relief
valves, one for protecting pump and other for regulating load on system are used.
