The bore of a bearing bush for a gear pump has a first recess located in a zone of load concentration in the bore, the first recess being supplied with a fluid under pressure. A second recess in the bore is located wholly outside the zone in which concentrated loads occur and acts as a reservoir for fluid, to prevent cavitation within the bore as a result of low pressures caused by radical movements of a shaft within the bush. A passage connects the second recess with a zone of lower pressure within the pump. |
