Introduction of 3.5APF**
3.5APF** series external gear pumps have a floating
busing with automatic axial clearance compensation. Gear
pumps are the most common type of positive displacement pump used.
Typically, a rotating assembly of two gears (a drive gear and an idler)
moves to create suction at the pump inlet and draw in fluid. The
liquid is then directed between the teeth of the gears and the walls of
the casing to the discharge point. Volume decreases as the liquid travels
from inlet to outlet, causing a buildup of pressure. Pressure relief valves are
typically built-in to the pump to protect the pumping system from a closed valve
in the discharge piping. Flow in gear pumps is determined by the size of the
cavity (volume) between the gear teeth, the speed of rotation (rpm) of the
gears, and the amount of slippage (reverse flow). Slip increases as the pump
wears.
