Gear Pump Design
Gear pumps are a common type of hydraulic pump that uses the rotation of gears to generate fluid pressure and transfer fluid from one location to another.
When designing a gear pump, it is important to consider the following factors:
- Wear and corrosion resistance of the gears
- Good sealing performance
- The shape, size, and pitch of the gears must be precisely calculated to ensure efficient fluid transfer and pressure transmission
Other important considerations for gear pump design include:
- Bearings and seals
- Cooling and lubrication
- Efficiency and performance
