Finite element analysis of conformal contacts in water hydraulic axial piston pumps incorporating advanced ceramic materials

The use of water as a hydraulic fluid in a pump necessitates the use of conformal contacts to reduce the high rates of wear and leakage losses that result from the low viscosity and lubricity of water. Swashplate type axial piston pumps are ideal in this respect because they incorporate such conform...
