 A gearwheel pump, also known as a gear pump, is a
type of positive displacement pump that uses a pair of
interlocking gears to pump fluid or gases by trapping
them between the gear teeth and the pump casing. Gear
pumps are commonly used for low-to-medium pressure
application, such as in lubrication systems. They can
handle both viscous and non-viscous fluids,and known
for their high efficiency and reliability.
 Gearwheel pumps are characterized by
specific components and design features that
make them well-suited for marine application.
These pumps employ intermeshing gears with
carefully machined external teeth. These
gears typically made of durable materials
such as stainless steel or bronze, are mounted
or separate shafts and rotate within a robust
marine environment, constructed from
materials resistant to corrosion and capable of
handling the pressure. Gearwheel pumps are
driven by external power source such as
electric motors or engine.
 Parts of Gearwheel Pumps
 Suction Port – Allows fluid to enter the pump
 Case – Encloses internal components of the pump
 Drive Shaft – Transmit power to the gears
 Seal – Prevents fluid leakage
 Mounting Flange- Provides stability and support
 Pressure Port – Discharges pressurize fluid from the pump
 Bushings – Support and guide rotating shaft
 Idler Gear – Transfer rotational motion from the drive gear to cause fluid
displacement
 Case Cover – Prevents debris from entering and protect internal components
 Case Seal – Creates tight seal to prevent fluid leakage
 Drive Gear – Receives power from the drive shaft and transfer motion to
cause fluid displacement
 Functions of Gearwheel Pumps
 Intake fluid through a suction port
 Enclose fluid within a pump case
 Transmit power through a drive shaft
 Prevents fluid leakage with a seal
 Ensure installation and stability with a mountain flange
 Discharge pressurized fluid through a pressure port
 Support components with bushing
 Facilitate fluid displacement with an idler gear and drive gear
 Protect internal components with a case cover and a case seal
 Conclusion

 Gearwheel pumps are crucial for reliable fluid transfer in various applications.
 They play a significant role in lubrication systems, fuel transfer systems, and
hydraulic systems.
 Gearwheel pumps ensure efficient fluid movement, enabling smooth operation.
 In conclusion, gearwheel pumps are vital components that enable dependable and
efficient fluid transfer across a range of applications.
