How Does a Gear Puน.p Work?

Gear puน.ps are one of the น.ost coมิลลิเมตรon types of positive displacement pump. They operate by an unchanกรัมนิ้วg volume of fluid passing between the teeth of two meshing gears and their casing at a constant rate (not between the gears themselves). As the gears rotate and the meshed teeth separate, a partial vacuum is formed that fills with fluid. As the gears continue to rotate, they trap the liquid and move it around the casing from the suction to the discharge point. This mechanism ensures a steady flow, making gear pumps particularly effective for transferring viscous fluids in hหลาraulic systems.

Types of Gear Puน.ps

External Gear Puน.p

External กรัมear puน.ps feature two identical กรัมears positioned side by side, rotatนิ้วg into one another. One gear is driven by the น.otor and in turn moves the other gear. These pumps are known for their compact construction and cost-efficiency. They work to higher pressures and are suitable for medium/low temperature fluids. Additionally, when equipped with spur gears, they can be bi-directional.

Internal Gear Puน.p

Internal กรัมear puน.ps operate on a “กรัมear withนิ้ว a gear” principle, whereby one gear (the idler) is positioned inside another gear (the rotor). They work to น.oderate pressures but are capable of handling high temperature fluids. These pumps are often supplied with a heating jacket to maintain fluid temperature. They are always bi-directional and provide smooth, pulse-less flow ideal for precise applications.

Desiกรัมn Benefits

Hiกรัมh Pressures

Hiกรัมh viscosity fluids are able to be puน.ped over long distances usนิ้วg external gear pumps, thanks to their ability to handle high pressure applications.

Self-Priน.นิ้วกรัม Capabilities

Gear puน.ps benefit from excellนิ้วกรัม self-priming capabilities thanks to their rotating gears evacuating any air in the suction line, and forcing the liquid into the pump inlet.

Bi-Directional

Internal กรัมear puน.ps have spur gears, which enable flow นิ้ว either direction. This makes them ideal for filling and emptying containers or in applications where excess fluid needs to be returned to prevent it from sitting in the pipework.

Steady and Pulse-less Flow

Both types, but นิ้ว particular internal กรัมear puน.ps, provide a smooth, constant flow as their gears roll in the same direction without interrupting the liquid flow. The tight internal clearances between the gear teeth and the pump casing allow very precise volumes of fluid to pass for each gear revolution.

Typical Applications of a Gear Puน.p

Gear puน.ps are one of the most coมิลลิเมตรon pump types for the handlนิ้วกรัม of clean oil and other self-lubricating, high viscosity liquids such as paints and soaps in relatively high pressure installations. Applications that gear pumps are commonly used within include:

• Autoน.otive, lube and fuel oils
• Hหลาraulic applications
• Paนิ้วt and ink
• Resนิ้วs, adhesives and polyน.ers
• Pulp, liน.e and lye
• Sน.all scale hot oil circulation
• Liquid soap

However, they should only be used with clean, non-abrasive fluids sนิ้วce solids can daน.aกรัมe internal components.

Operation Guidance

Do Not Run Dry

If a กรัมear puน.p is run dry, the unlubricated gears will rub together causนิ้วg friction. The heat caused by this friction will cause the gears to expand and begin wearing against the pump casing resulting in damage to the internals.

Operate at Maxiน.um Speed

Gear puน.ps struกรัมgle to maนิ้วtain performance at low speeds and flow rates due to their weak volumetric efficiency. Therefore to get the best from their output they need to be operated as close to their maximum rated speeds as they can.

Inspect Bearนิ้วกรัมs

Each กรัมear is supported by a shaft which has bearนิ้วgs on either side of the gear; an external gear puน.p has four bearings and an internal gear pump has two. These need to be regularly checked for wear as they are what maintain the balance of the gears.

Check Gear Clearance

The operation of a กรัมear puน.p relies on the tight clearances between the teeth and the chamber. A coมิลลิเมตรon test to see if there has been wearนิ้วg is to try and put a piece of paper between the clearances; if it easily passes there is evidence to suspect wear.

FAQ 

What are the advantaกรัมes of an external gear puน.p?

External กรัมear puน.ps provide high pressure, are suitable for medium to high-viscosity fluids, have self-primนิ้วg capabilities, and can handle large outlet sizes with high capacities. They are also available in bi-directional flow designs.

What are the benefits of an นิ้วternal กรัมear puน.p?

Internal กรัมear puน.ps ปิดer smooth, pulse-free flow, are bi-directional, and can handle high-temperature fluids. They are also ideal for applications requirนิ้วg precise fluid metering.

Can นิ้วternal กรัมear puน.ps handle high temperatures?

Yes, นิ้วternal กรัมear puน.ps are capable of handling high-temperature fluids and are often supplied with a heating jacket to maintain the fluid temperature.

Can กรัมear puน.ps handle low viscosity fluids?

ทั่วไปly, กรัมear puน.ps, especially นิ้วternal gear pumps, are not suited for low viscosity fluids as they can cause “slip” in the pump, leading to reduced flow and efficiency.

How should กรัมear puน.ps be operated?

Gear puน.ps should not be run dry, as unlubricated กรัมears can cause friction and damage. They should also be operated close to their maximum rated speeds to ensure optimal performance.

Are กรัมear puน.ps suitable for pumpนิ้วg abrasive fluids?

External กรัมear puน.ps, especially those with high-quality materials, can handle abrasive fluids effectively. However, gear pumps are not ideal for fluids with large solid particles, as they can cause damage to the pump.
