How a hydraulic gear pump works ?

A hydraulic gear pump is a positive displacement pump that uses two meshing gears to create a vacuum and move fluid through the pump. Here’s a breakdown of how it works:

Fluid enters the pump through the inlet port.

As the gears rotate, fluid is trapped between the teeth of the gears and the pump housing.

The meshing gears create a vacuum, which draws more fluid into the pump.

As the gears continue to rotate, the trapped fluid is carried around the outside of the gears to the outlet port.

The fluid is then pushed out of the pump and into the hydraulic system.

The cycle continues as the gears rotate, creating a steady flow of fluid through the system.

It’s important to note that hydraulic gear pumps are designed for high-pressure applications, typically in the range of 1,000 to 3,000 psi. They’re commonly used in hydraulic power units, hydraulic presses, and other heavy machinery.
