Download the file data into the pump memory disconnect the pump from the pc carry out your application on. Internal and external gear pumps are the two basic types of gear pumps. See product dimensional information page 35 for outline drawings of pumps and the.
The fluid in screw pumps moves between the screw threads and is displaced axially as the screws rotate and mesh. In simple words, we can say that the gear pumps transfer the fluids from one part to another using gear mechanism. The most common type of rotodynamic pump is the centrifugal pump figure 1. Sauerdanfoss high performance gear pumps are fixed displacement pumps which. Mechanical pumps in mechanical pumps, the gas present in a vacuum system is transferred from a low pressure to a higher pressure region.
Types of pumps continued positive displacement pump. Gear pumps can be either external or internal and vary in design and operation. A drive gear that is driven by a motor rotates an idler gear in the opposite direction. While many pumps can be found on job sites there are two very general types of water pumps in the construction industry.
The main differences between the two types of gear pumps are the placement of the gears and where the fluid is trapped. This type of pumphead design has a seal plate mounted with a. To operate in either direction, however they can only operate. Our gear pumps have a sturdy design, offering high reliability as well as long life. Your choice of pump is backed by more than 70 years of vickers engineering and manufacturing skill. The internal gear pump is exceptionally versatile and also capable of handling thick fluids.
