Question 1 of 27070

Both the direction of flow and fluid flow rate of a variable displacement radial piston pump are determined by the relative positions of the __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• variable displacement radial piston pump construction • how flow direction is changed in hydraulic pumps • which pump components can shift relative to each other to vary piston stroke

💭 Think About

• Which parts actually control how far the pistons stroke in and out, thereby controlling flow rate? • Which component must be re‑positioned or tilted to reverse the direction of piston displacement and thus flow direction? • Look at which pair of components forms the effective "cam" or orbit that the pistons follow.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which component in the answer choices can MOVE to change displacement (variable feature). • Confirm which part routes fluid to and from the pistons (valving function). • Be sure the pair you pick can logically affect BOTH stroke length (flow rate) and port timing (flow direction).
