Pumps

The Powder Metal (P/M) process is well suited to producing pump components, as the geometry allows for very efficient material usage. Below are examples of such applications, typically used in oil and transmission environments.

Variable Vane Oil Pump Application

A typical family of powder metal parts for variable vane oil pump application

  • Powder metal is a great choice to meet the varying geometries of these parts, with virtually zero material loss
  • The components are ground to length and surface finish requirements
  • In some cases, the components are heat treated for improved properties

Automotive Pump Applications

A typical gerotor set used in automotive pump applications

  • Powder metal is a great choice to meet the varying geometries of these parts, and again yields very little material loss
  • Depending on the environment, both stainless steel and iron components can be produced
  • The components are ground to length and surface finish requirements
  • In some cases, the components are heat treated for improved properties
