🔍 Key Concepts

• This is a vane-type positive-displacement pump with an eccentric rotor and spring-loaded vanes • Many positive-displacement pumps can operate as hydraulic motors when fluid flow and energy direction are reversed • Pay close attention to the inlet and outlet ports (arrows 6 and 7) and how the rotor would move if fluid entered under pressure

💭 Think About

• If this unit is used as a pump, which port is the discharge (high‑pressure) side, and which is the suction (low‑pressure) side? Now imagine you supply high‑pressure fluid to one of those ports—what will happen to the rotor? • Does converting a pump to a motor usually require changing the basic internal geometry (rotor diameter, vane type), or mainly reversing how the fluid is applied? • Look at the roller/sliding vanes and springs: would they still be able to follow the cam ring and seal the chambers if the direction of torque is reversed?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify clearly which arrow (6 or 7) shows present discharge flow in pump service, and which is suction • Decide which port must receive pressurized fluid to develop torque on the rotor in motor service • Confirm whether any of the suggested modifications (changing vane type or rotor size) are actually necessary for the device to rotate when pressurized fluid is applied
