The bearing plate is typically made from high-quality materials such as steel or cast iron, which provide the necessary strength and durability to withstand the demanding conditions of hydraulic systems.
It is designed to withstand high pressures, vibrations, and heavy loads, ensuring reliable performance over an extended period.
One of the primary functions of the bearing plate is to support the radial and axial loads generated by the hydraulic pump. It acts as a mounting platform for the pump's internal components, including the bearings and shaft, ensuring their proper alignment and minimizing friction. By providing a stable foundation, the bearing plate helps reduce wear and tear on the pump's moving parts, extending the lifespan of the pump and improving its efficiency.
Another crucial role of the bearing plate is to prevent leakage of hydraulic fluid. It incorporates seals and gaskets to create a tight seal between the pump housing and the bearing plate. This prevents fluid from escaping and maintains the required pressure levels within the system. Additionally, the bearing plate acts as a barrier, preventing contaminants from entering the pump and potentially causing damage to the internal components.
The design of the SH131 bearing plate is often tailored to the specific requirements of the hydraulic pump it is used in.
It must accommodate the size and configuration of the pump, ensuring a precise fit and optimal performance. The bearing plate may feature various mounting holes, slots, or threads to facilitate installation and connection with other pump components.
Furthermore, the bearing plate is subject to rigorous quality control measures during the manufacturing process. This ensures that it meets the necessary standards and specifications for strength, dimensional accuracy, and surface finish. Thorough testing and inspection help guarantee the reliability and performance of the bearing plate in demanding hydraulic applications.
