Adjustable displacement pump

Variable pump on which the geometric displacement can be set (limited) to a specific flow rate. This setting is made, e.g., by means of a stop screw that fixes the pivoting of the cylinder drum to a specific point (Figure E 11).

After adjustment such a pump operates like a constant pump.
