Pump gears are basic components of mechanical pumps used to circulate liquid or gas. These gears work by rotating two gear wheels connected to each other.
A pump gear system usually consists of a driving gear and a driven gear. The drive gear receives the rotational motion from the engine or other power source and transfers it to the driven gear. This rotational movement pushes and moves the liquid or gas in the pump cavity where the gear wheels are located.
Pump gears offer high efficiency. Since there is low slippage at the points where the gears contact, energy loss is minimal. Additionally, pump gears operate at low noise levels and absorb vibrations. Pump gears can effectively pump liquids or gases of various viscosities. Moreover, they have a simple structure and are easy to maintain.
Durable materials such as steel or cast iron are generally preferred for pump gears. Additionally, the surfaces of gears are often hardened or coated, which increases durability and friction resistance. Pump gears are used in various industries, for example hydraulic systems, oil and gas industry and chemical industry.
