Rotary vane pump

A rotary vane pump is a device that moves liquids or gases efficiently using a rotating mechanism. It consists of a cylindrical rotor with multiple flexible blades, called vanes, that fit into slots. As the rotor spins inside a sealed chamber, the vanes slide in and out, creating different-sized chambers. This action draws fluid into the pump, then pushes it out as the chambers change size. Rotary vane pumps are known for providing steady, reliable flow and are commonly used in hydraulic systems, HVAC, and medical equipment for their efficiency and ease of operation.
