Description
Gearpumpshaveseveralsectionsandaremadewith asingleset(singlestage)ofgearsorwithmultiple sets(tandem)ofgears.SeeFigure1.Asingle-stage pumphastwocoversandthegearhousingwiththe gears.Sealsareusedtopreventleaksbetweenthe sections.Tandempumpshaveagearhousingfor eachsetofgears.Mosttandempumpsalsohavea centersectionforthebearings.Theinletandoutlet portsarenormallyonthegearhousingorrearcover.
