## About <!--about-->
Includes any products that can be described/observed as a vane pump. A vane pump rotor contains a series of slots for sliding vanes that press against the wall of the housing by centrifugal force when the rotor spins, forming a sealed chamber. Since the rotor is offset within the housing, the vanes extend and retract during rotation. When fluid is introduced, it is captured between the vanes as they are rotated, and directed to the discharge.

### Excludes

Excludes products such as Dynamic Pumps, Reciprocating Pumps, Pneumatic Pumps and Pumps not specifically designed for use with Fluids.
Specifically excludes other Rotary Pumps.
