Which factor does NOT influence the speed rating of a hydraulic pump?

The speed rating of a hydraulic pump is primarily influenced by factors that directly affect how the pump operates and interacts with the hydraulic system. The type of bearings, PTO (Power Take-Off) rpm, and inlet conditions all play significant roles in determining how efficiently the hydraulic pump can perform.

The type of bearings is crucial because the design and material of the bearings affect friction, heat generation, and ultimately the maximum speed at which the pump can operate without failure. High-quality bearings can support higher speeds with less wear and tear, while inferior bearings may limit speed capacity due to increased friction.

PTO rpm is also a key factor since it determines the rotational speed at which the pump is driven. If the PTO is rotating faster, the pump can theoretically pump hydraulic fluid at a higher rate, assuming other conditions are optimal. This means the operational speed and efficiency of the pump are tightly linked to the PTO's rpm.

Inlet conditions, including pressure and fluid viscosity, influence the pump's ability to draw in and manage fluid effectively. If the inlet conditions are poor (e.g., low pressure or high viscosity), the pump may not achieve its intended speed, reduced flow rates can occur as a result.

On the other hand, reservoir volume does not directly affect the speed
