Very interesting, I had no idea F1 cars used these style swash plate pumps. Conceptually I was familiar with these, but I'd never seen one so small! I used to work at an industrial testing laboratory and we would run benchmark industry standard tests for hydraulic fluids, either 1000 hour or 2000hr tests, often with inspection intervals every 500hrs. Occasionally we would run a fluid until the pump failed, which was usually between 3000-5000hrs. The pumps we ran were a popular industrial scale pump, about 4-5x the size, the pistons in the ones I'm familiar with inspect were around 1" diameter.
I wanted to ask about the fluid itself, is it an ester based hydraulic oil for fire resistance or maybe an ATF? Also, I did not see a drain port for the piston pump, is it routed internally back to the inlet side? Thanks for putting out this material, just gold.
This is amazing for someone looking to get into F1 when I’m older. I’m obsessed with trying to find parts to look at and disassemble but eBay doesn’t seem to have much😢. Where do you get your parts from?
Not sure that the accumulator is used in the way you describe, could be. My understanding is an accumulator is used to dampen or smooth out the pulses (ripples) from the rotating pump pistons.
Also damps displacement pulsation harmonics... similar to how capacitors smooth an ac to dc rectifier circuit...can't remember if I mentioned that or not...thanks and greetings from Ireland!
@@EngineeredtoWin Exactly. That is what I was trying to say. Do you happen to have the part numbers of the pumps ( I know a couple of people that worked at Abex Aerospace, granted a long time ago before National Waterlift (now Parker) bought them )? I don't recall if you said what the RPM and displacement of the pumps were/are ....
Superb Brian, thankyou for putting the time and effort into making this footage . I’m an engineer, build my own race cars make my own patterns and molds design my own parts etc etc . I’m never over confident or show off , boast how clever I am because my knowledge is no where near as good as yours and other engineers around the world . I’m familiar with most manufacturing processes and really appreciate the amount of work that has gone into these pumps and in the other videos you have posted. One last thing to mention which is quite important to anyone designing components is that ( not to sound disrespectful by no means ) generally everything has been designed before once broken down into individual items . The clever bit is being knowledgeable and clever enough to combine all those components to resolve an issue . And do the calcs , manufacture to high tolerance’s . 🇬🇧👍 Ps don’t give up your day job as if you were assembling this pumps on price work you’d we loosing money 😜

Thanks for your efforts and sharing this video.
I like your videos! Keep making them.
Thank you. This is exactly how AC compressors work in automobiles. If someone wants to learn more about these things.
Some are aircon pumps are scroll compressor pumps too...like the vw g-lader supercharger.
Thanks so much for sharing. 😎👌🏼
Amazing....thanks so much. This vid is gold
You're very welcome!
Excelent vídeo.
Where can I buy one of these pumps? Looks a very good part to have a use for. Great video, Cheers Neil
Have one here Neil if you're interested. My email is in the about me section on here.
Very nice part, I like how it auto-regulates to prevent pumping loss.

I've got many parts for sale on the buy me a coffee link on the right at top of home/channels page. Click on commissions.

@@truegret7778 I'll check for you over the weekend.
@@EngineeredtoWin Awesome - no hurry. I love your channel btw. Cheers

do they spin at 20 000 RPM
