What is a Hydraulic Gear Pump?
A hydraulic gear pump is a type of positive displacement pump that uses interlocking gears to pump fluid in hydraulic systems.
Features
1. Simple and robust design
2. High durability and efficiency
3. Uniform flow rate
4. Good performance with high-viscosity fluids
5. Cost-effective solution
Functions
Gear pumps are commonly used for lubrication, fluid transfer, hydraulic power applications, and in machinery that requires a steady flow of hydraulic fluid.
How Does a Gear Pump Work?
It consists of two gears that rotate in a tightly fitted casing. As the gears rotate, fluid is drawn into the spaces between the teeth and the casing, and then forced out on the other side.
Why Need Gear Pump
Gear pumps are essential for applications requiring a reliable, continuous flow of fluid, especially for transporting high-viscosity fluids.
Differences Between Gear Pump, Piston Pump, and Vane Pump
*Gear Pump: Ideal for thick fluids, providing a consistent flow, less expensive and simpler in design.
*Piston Pump: Offers higher pressure capabilities and efficiency for varying flow rates.
*Vane Pump: Best for handling low-viscosity fluids with higher efficiency and less pulsation.
How to Choose a Suitable Pump
Choosing the right pump depends on factors like fluid viscosity, required pressure, flow rate, efficiency, and cost considerations specific to your application.
