What is a Mechanical Oil Scavenge Pump?
A motorcycle mechanical oil scavenge pump is a device designed to remove or scavenge oil from various parts of the engine and direct it back to the oil reservoir. Unlike electric pumps, which rely on electrical power, mechanical scavenge pumps are typically driven directly by the engine itself. This can be achieved through various mechanisms, such as using the engine’s crankshaft or camshaft to power the pump.
The primary purpose of the mechanical oil scavenge pump is to ensure proper oil circulation and prevent oil from accumulating in areas where it could lead to overheating or other issues. In some cases, these pumps are used in conjunction with turbocharged or supercharged engines to address oil drainage challenges associated with forced induction systems.
The advantages of mechanical scavenge pumps include simplicity, reliability, and independence from external power sources. They often use the existing engine components for power, making them a robust solution for maintaining optimal oil levels and preventing oil-related problems in high-performance or specialized motorcycle engines.
