GEAR PUMP

摘要

A gear pump or motor mounts the gears in the body by means of shaft journals projecting on opposite sides of each gear into bearings in the body. The bearing portions of the body are formed as cantilevers which are free to deflect under fluid pressure forces and follow the deflection of the shaft journals under the same forces. This reduces the localized loadings at the corners of the bearings and enables the device to operate at higher pressures than is possible with journal bearings solidly supported in the body.
