Gear Pumps

Gear Pumps represent the most basic hydraulic pump type, typically used for single, basic applications. These pumps operate using two meshing gears to displace water. The rotating gears create suction as they separate, drawing water into the pump, then displacing it when the gears mesh together. This simple mechanism provides reliable fluid transfer.

External gear pumps feature two identical gears rotating against each other, making them ideal for high-pressure applications up to 3,000 psi. Their simple design ensures reliability and ease of maintenance, with fewer moving parts reducing potential failure points. These pumps offer excellent value for applications requiring consistent flow rates and moderate efficiency in various industrial settings.

Internal gear pumps utilize a gear-within-a-gear design that provides smoother fluid transfer and better handling of viscous fluids. They operate more quietly than external gear pumps and can handle higher viscosities without performance degradation. Their compact design makes them suitable for space-constrained applications while maintaining good suction capabilities.
