Fig. 5.1.2: Components of internal gear pump with superlip principle
Rotation of the gears through 180° in the pump draws in the pressure uid (as a rule
hydraulic oil) into the cavity between the pinion and internal gear by opening the gear
chambers. The gear chambers are sealed in a radial direction by gear meshing and
by the sealing lips and the pinion head. This design minimizes volume losses and
increases efciency.
When the gears rotate a further 180° the pinion teeth enter the gaps between the inter-
nal gear teeth and displace the pressure uid.
