A gear oil pump is a type of positive displacement pump that is commonly used to transfer lubricating oil or other fluids in machinery. The pump typically consists of two meshing gears that rotate in opposite directions within a casing.
As the gears rotate, they create a vacuum on the inlet side of the pump, which draws fluid into the pump through an inlet port. The fluid is then trapped between the teeth of the rotating gears and the casing, and is carried around to the outlet side of the pump.
As the gears continue to rotate, the fluid is squeezed out through the outlet port of the pump. The size and shape of the gears, as well as the spacing between them and the size of the pump casing, determines the flow rate and pressure of the pump.
Gear pumps are known for their reliability and durability, and are often used in applications where a consistent flow of lubricating oil is essential for the proper functioning of machinery.
