Jakajapumput

Jakajapumput, often referred to as distribution manifolds or splitting pumps, are hydraulic components designed to divide a single hydraulic fluid flow into multiple smaller flows. This allows a single hydraulic pump to power several actuators or circuits simultaneously. They are commonly used in applications where a centralized hydraulic power unit needs to supply fluid to various functions.

The fundamental principle of a jakajapumppu is to take the high-pressure flow from the main pump and split it. This splitting can be achieved in several ways, depending on the design of the manifold. Some may have simple orifices or valves that regulate the flow to each outlet. Others might incorporate more complex flow control mechanisms to ensure proportional distribution or to allow for independent control of each outlet.

Jakajapumput are typically constructed from robust materials like steel or aluminum to withstand the pressures and stresses of hydraulic systems. They often feature multiple ports, with one inlet port for the main pump supply and several outlet ports for the individual circuits. Seals and O-rings are crucial for preventing leaks between the ports and the manifold body.

The advantages of using jakajapumput include cost savings by reducing the need for multiple pumps, simplified plumbing, and a more compact hydraulic system. However, careful design is necessary to ensure that the flow division does not negatively impact the performance of the individual circuits, especially in applications with varying load demands. Improperly designed or implemented jakajapumput can lead to uneven actuator speeds or insufficient flow to certain functions.
