A type of hydraulic pump that uses cam lobe action against pistons to generate hydraulic fluid flow for the lifting of implements. Though superior in their characteristics and longer lasting, excessive numbers of parts (meaning expense) limited their use to only a couple of manufacturers.
Piston pumps, as used in hydraulic systems, create a flow by pistons moving in and out of cylinder bores as the latter pass over inlet and outlet ports.
