An external gear pump is a type of positive displacement pump that uses a pair of gears to pump fluid through the pump’s housing. The two gears rotate in opposite directions, trapping fluid between the gear teeth and the pump casing, and forcing it out through the outlet port.
External gear pumps typically have a simple design, with few moving parts, which makes them easy to maintain and repair. They are also relatively compact, and can handle a wide range of fluid viscosities, pressures, and temperatures.
External gear pumps are commonly used in a variety of applications, including hydraulic systems, fuel and oil transfer, lubrication systems, and chemical processing. They are often preferred over other types of pumps when high efficiency, low noise, and long service life are important considerations.
