Hydraulic Pump Selection - Help
(OP)
I am looking to generate pressure in vehicle brake lines using a hydraulic pump. This pump needs to be able to pressurize the brake fluid to a specific pressure up to 1600 psi, and I was curious as to what might be the best pump to do this. Currently I have been looking into vane pumps Link, however since there will be very little fluid displaced, I am not sure how well this will work. Ideally, the pump should be able to hold a constant pressure in the lines depending on the input. This is my first time working with pumps so any advice is appreciated!

A vane pump would generate a lot of heat when the pump is in standby. A variable displacement pump such as an axial piston pump might be a better choice.

This is a very specific use whereby you need to control pressure and generate pressure very quickly but only for short periods.
This pump forum is mainly where you need to generate flow for long periods.
I think you might also need to consider using a fluid reservoir which you keep at high pressure and then control the pressure using a valve.
Remember - More details = better answers
Also: If you get a response it's polite to respond to it.

A well phrased question has answers in itself!!!
