Factors that cause flow pulsation in hydraulic pumps
The flow pulsation of a hydraulic pump is generated by periodic changes in the flow of fluid delivered by the pump. This change in flow causes pressure fluctuations that can be felt as vibrations in the hydraulic system.
Several factors can cause flow pulsations in hydraulic pumps, including:
Pump Design: The design of the hydraulic pump itself affects the magnitude and frequency of flow pulsations. For example, a pump with a large displacement per revolution will produce more pulsations than a pump with a smaller displacement.
Operating Conditions: The operating conditions of a hydraulic system, including pressure, flow, and fluid properties, also affect the magnitude and frequency of flow pulsations. For example, a high pressure system will generate larger pulsations than a low pressure system.
Fluid properties: Properties of hydraulic fluids, such as viscosity and compressibility, also affect the generation of flow pulsations. For example, more viscous fluids tend to dampen pulsations, while less viscous fluids tend to amplify them.
Resonance: The natural frequencies of hydraulic system components can also cause flow pulsations. If the natural frequency of the system matches the pulsation frequency, resonance occurs, resulting in larger, longer-lasting pulsations.
To mitigate the effects of flow pulsations, various techniques can be employed, such as using dampers or accumulators to absorb pulsations, or modifying the design of hydraulic system components to reduce resonance effects. In addition, choosing a hydraulic pump with a smaller displacement or using multiple pumps in parallel can also help reduce the magnitude of flow pulsation.

Another way to reduce flow pulsation is to use a pressure compensator or flow control valve in the hydraulic system. These devices can help regulate the flow rate and pressure of hydraulic fluid, reducing the magnitude of pulsation. In some cases, adding an additional hydraulic circuit to the system can also help smooth flow and reduce pulsation.
It's worth noting that while flow pulsations can cause problems in hydraulic systems, they can also be useful in certain applications. For example, in some precision cutting applications, flow pulsation can be used to create a serrated cutting edge, which improves cutting performance and reduces tool wear.
In addition to the previously mentioned techniques, there are other methods that can be used to minimize flow pulsation in a hydraulic system. One of these methods is to use a variable displacement pump. These pumps are designed to vary flow according to system demand, which helps reduce the magnitude of flow pulsation.
Another approach is to use a secondary flow path in the system, such as a bypass line or a separate circuit, which helps reduce the impact of pulsation on the primary circuit. The secondary path acts as a snubber or reservoir to absorb pulsations and prevent them from affecting the primary circuit.
The type of hydraulic fluid used in the system can also have an effect on flow pulsation. Some fluids, such as those with high viscosity, can help dampen pulsation, while others with low viscosity can exacerbate pulsation.
Finally, regular maintenance of hydraulic pumps and other components in the system can help prevent flow pulsations caused by wear or damage. Regular inspection and replacement of worn or damaged components such as seals, bearings and pistons is important to keep the system running at its best and prevent flow pulsations.
Also, it is important to note that flow pulsation can have negative effects in addition to vibration and noise. They can also cause premature wear to system components, reduce system efficiency, and even damage the hydraulic system. For example, if pulsation occurs at a system component's resonant frequency, it can cause that component to vibrate and eventually fail.
Flow pulsations can also cause problems in hydraulic control systems, such as those used in machinery or industrial equipment. For example, if flow pulsations are severe enough, they can cause the system's control valves to oscillate, causing instability and poor performance.

In some cases, the effects of flow pulsation may be difficult to fully mitigate. However, by carefully designing and maintaining hydraulic systems, and using the proper techniques and components to reduce the effects of flow pulsations, negative effects can be minimized and smooth and reliable operation ensured.
In summary, flow pulsations in hydraulic pumps are generated by periodic variations in hydraulic fluid flow rate. The magnitude and frequency of these pulsations can be influenced by various factors including pump design, operating conditions, fluid properties and resonance effects. Technologies such as dampers, accumulators or pressure compensators can be employed to reduce the effects of flow pulsation, which in some cases can be used for certain applications.
