Typical applications for conventional oil pumps
Where TPV engineering delivers robust fixed-displacement pump designs.
Seamless Integration Options
We adapt the pump housing and drive interface to your engine block, not the other way around.
Why choose Conventional?
Variable flow pumps are increasingly common, but fixed displacement designs remain a strong choice when robustness, packaging, and cost efficiency are the priority.

FAQs
Quick answers to common questions about oil pump custom development, timelines, validation, and how we support series ramp-up through production partners.
A conventional oil pump is suitable when the application requires a robust, proven and cost-efficient lubrication solution without complex control mechanisms. It is often the right choice for systems with stable operating conditions, clear packaging limits and high durability requirements.
Conventional oil pumps are usually designed for reliable oil supply across the full operating range. This can lead to overdelivery in certain conditions, which increases power consumption. The main engineering challenge is to balance safety margins with efficiency, noise behavior and packaging constraints.
Yes. Even without variable control, power consumption can be improved through optimized gear geometry, reduced internal leakage, better housing integration, lower friction losses and precise matching of flow and pressure targets to the real lubrication demand.
No. Conventional oil pumps are still relevant in modern engines and transmissions when the technical and economic requirements favor a simple, durable and validated pump concept. The decision depends on the application, not on the age of the technology.
The pump must deliver stable lubrication under different speeds, temperatures, oil viscosities and load conditions. At the same time, it has to fit into limited installation space, meet durability targets, control pulsation and noise, and remain suitable for series production.
Yes. TPV can develop conventional oil pump concepts around existing shaft positions, housing interfaces and packaging spaces. The goal is a mechanically robust, hydraulically efficient and production-ready pump design within the given system constraints.
