Pump Cavitation Trainer

SKU: FP-MF200-CAV

The FP-MF200-CAV simulator is the most advanced trainer in the world for teaching students everything they need to know about cavitation, its common causes, and its devastating effect on a hydraulic system. The transparent reservoir, transparent pump suction line, and transparent pump outlet port transmission line are backlit to enhance the stunning visual impact this simulator offers.

Spec Sheet

  • Designed to demonstrate the following:
    ○ Normal pump inlet restriction
    ○ Abnormally high pump inlet restriction
    ○ Abnormally low pump inlet restriction
    ○ What occurs when oil is discharged above the oil level in a hydraulic reservoir
    ○ What occurs when the pump inlet is too close to the surface of the oil – vortex

The MF200-CAV Pump Cavitation Simulator will teach students the following:

  • Physics associated with the operation of a hydraulic pump
  • How the inlet side of a hydraulic pump works
  • How design influences the amount of restriction at the inlet side of a pump
  • Common design “oversights” when designing hydraulic pump intakes
  • Why it is critical to know what a particular pump’s normal inlet restriction is
  • What role altitude plays in the operation at the inlet side of a pump
  • What causes pump inlet restriction to increase to a level that can cause cavitation, the most common cause of abnormally high inlet restriction
  • What causes pump inlet restriction to decrease to a level that can cause pseudo-cavitation
  • The most common cause of abnormally low pump inlet restriction
  • What occurs when flow discharges above the oil level in a hydraulic reservoir
  • What causes a “vortex” to occur in a hydraulic system
  • Why it is critical to “trend” pump inlet restriction
