A gear pump having a drive gear provided with trunions mounted for rotation in the housing of the pump and a driven gear meshing with the drive gear and guided in the housing only on side faces and a portion of the inner peripheral surface of the housing and pressed by fluid pressure against the driven gear. A first sealing member at the outlet of the housing presses the driven gear against a sealing zone of the housing adjacent the inlet thereof and a second sealing member subjected to fluid pressure presses the driven gear against the drive gear. A low pressure zone is arranged at the inner peripheral surface of the housing between the two sealing members, whereas a high pressure zone is arranged between the second sealing member and the sealing zone.
