As the gears rotate they separate on the intake side of the pump, creating a void and suction which is filled by fluid. The fluid is carried by the gears to the discharge side of the pump, where the meshing of the gears displaces the fluid. The mechanical clearances are small— in the order of 10 μm. The tight clearances, along with the speed of rotation, effectively prevent the fluid from leaking backwards. The rigid design of the gears and houses allow for very high pressures and the ability to pump highly viscous fluids
The gear pump is one of the most important pumps . These types of pumps have gears in it which have the ability to provide pressure energy to the fluid in the pumps. In simple words, we can say that the gear pumps transfer the fluids from one part to another using gear mechanism. If the pressure of the system remains same then they will provide you with the fix flow rate also. So let’s discuss Gear pumps below.
The Gear Pumps are basically positive displacement rotary pumps which helps you to transfer liquid or fluid by using its gears. It has more than two internal gears which create vacuum pressure to push the fluid in the pump.
The Gear pumps are the high-pressure pumps which come in small sizes to provide a pulseless as well as stable fluid flows as compared to other pumps like peristaltic and diaphragm pumps. There are many other advantages of the Gear pumps which are better than other pumps like it is a self-priming pump, can pump high viscosity fluids, user-friendly pump as it is easy to operate and to maintain as well.

Gear pumps use the actions of rotating cogs or gears to transfer fluids. The rotating element develops a liquid seal with the pump casing and creates suction at the pump inlet. Fluid, drawn into the pump, is enclosed within the cavities of its rotating gears and transferred to the discharge. Gear pumps are commonly used for pumping high viscosity fluids such as oil, paints, resins or foodstuffs. They are preferred in any application where accurate dosing or high pressure output is required. The output of a gear pump is not greatly affected by pressure so they also tend to be preferred in any situation where the supply is irregular.
