Introduction of 2.5APF **
2.5APF** series external gear pumps have a floating
busing with automatic axial clearance compensation. Gear Pumps are a type of Rotary Positive Displacement Pump.They consist
of at least two separate and rotating gears with intermeshing teeth. As these
meshed teeth separate, they create a partial vacuum which is filled by the
fluid being pumped. As the gears then continue to rotate the fluid becomes
trapped and is carried around the casing to the discharge side of the pump.
Here as the gear teeth begin to re-mesh the fluid is ejected creating a pumping
action. There are a number of different Gear Pump designs but ultimately they
all employ this same pumping principle. Note that contrary to common belief,
pumps do not suck! Instead they create a partial vacuum within them which
becomes filled or partially by the fluid which must be at a higher pressure for
it to work.
