Hydraulic Pumps: Powering Log Splitters Effectively
A hydraulic pump is the heart of a log splitter, converting mechanical energy into hydraulic pressure. It powers the hydraulic cylinder that pushes the wedge to split logs. Common types include gear, piston, and vane pumps. Gear pumps are reliable and cost-effective, while piston pumps offer higher pressures and efficiencies. Vane pumps provide a smooth…
