A gear pump is a positive displacement pump that uses rotating gears to transfer fluids by moving a fixed volume of liquid with each rotation. Hydraulic gear pumps are commonly used for delivering hydraulic oil and other compatible fluids with stable flow and consistent pressure performance. With a simple structure, compact design, and reliable fluid transfer capability, gear pumps are suitable for hydraulic systems and various industrial fluid handling applications.
A gear pump works by using two rotating gears to transfer fluid from the inlet port to the outlet port. When the drive gear rotates, it drives the driven gear and creates expanding spaces on the inlet side, allowing fluid to enter the pump chamber. The fluid is then trapped between the gear teeth and the pump housing and carried around the outside of the gears toward the discharge side. As the gears mesh together again, the reduced chamber volume forces the fluid out under pressure. This continuous displacement process enables gear pumps to provide stable flow output, consistent pressure performance, and reliable hydraulic power transmission for various hydraulic systems and industrial applications.
Gear pumps are widely used in hydraulic systems and fluid handling applications where stable flow, reliable pressure generation, and long-term operation are required. Their compact design, efficient fluid transfer capability, and dependable performance make them suitable for different types of machinery and equipment.
