• axial piston : a type of piston pump that has its pistons on the same axis as its driveshaft.
• swash plate : component in an axial piston pump that provides variable displacement.
• unloading valve : a valve that can be used when two fixed displacement pumps are used.
• cavitation : a condition caused by a restricted pump inlet and is a destructive force that can cause severe damage to pumps.
• vane pumps : have multiple sliding vanes that are carried around in a rotor that is driven by the pump shaft.
