Hydraulic pumps convert mechanical energy into fluid energy. Different pumps transfer the energy to the fluid by different means, this will determine the kind of power output each type of hydraulic cylinder can produce and in turn for which application it is best suited.

Energy is transferred to the fluid by Kinetic pumps or through positive displacement pumps.

Positive Displacement Hydraulic Pumps

A fixed volume of fluid is discharged by the hydraulic pump with each stroke or revolution which means that energy is added at intervals rather than in a constant stream.

Kinetic Hydraulic Pumps

Kinetic pumps are usually the rotor or propeller kind which means that the motion of the pump feeds it's own movement as the hydraulic fluid is introduced.

Reciprocating Pumps

With each positive contribution to the cylinder a reciprocal negative reaction needs to take place for the piston or plunger to return to its original position in order for the process to be repeated
