168-7321: Piston Pump Port Plate

A Port Plate is a disc-shaped part that is connected to the rotating barrel of the axial piston pump. It serves as an interface between the cylinder barrel and the pump casing. It serves as a component that enables the passage of fluid into and out of the pump. As the pistons move within their bores, the valve plate provides passages for the intake (suction) and discharge (pressure) of the fluid. Attributes: • Helps to create a suction force inside the pump and enable the flow of fluids • Handles high pressure without deforming or breaking Applications: A Port Plate is used to control the flow of fluid within the hydraulic piston pump, allowing the fluid to enter and exit the pump at the appropriate times and in the desired directions without any leaks.
