A mounting adapter (78) is disclosed for use with a gear pump (18). The mounting adapter may have a generally plate-like base member (98), and inlet and outlet ports (116, 117) both formed in the base member. The mounting adapter may also have a first bearing bore (112) formed in the base member between the inlet port and the outlet port and configured to receive a first gear shaft (40), and a first bleed groove (122) formed in the base member adjacent the outlet port. The first bleed groove may be generally concentric with the first bearing bore. The mounting adapter may further have a second bearing bore (114) formed in the base member between the inlet port and the outlet port and configured to receive a second gear shaft (60), and a second bleed groove (122) formed in the base member adjacent the outlet port. The second bleed groove may be generally concentric with the second bearing bore. |
