A displacement device including an inner rotor and an outer rotor with meshing projections. Points on each rotor trace a hypotrochoidal path relative to the other. The tips of the outer rotor projections may contact the inner rotor at Top Dead Center (TDC) and Bottom Dead Center (BDC) to form higher and lower pressure regions. Various elements may shape other elements to form seals.

One example of a gerotor pump includes an inner rotor comprising multiple teeth, the inner rotor configured to rotate about a first longitudinal gerotor pump axis. The gerotor pump also includes a hollow outer rotor including an outer surface and an inner surface having substantially identical contours, the inner surface configured to engage with the multiple teeth and to rotate about a second longitudinal gerotor pump axis. The pump includes a pump housing within which the inner rotor and the outer rotor are disposed, wherein the outer surface of the outer rotor defines gaps between the pump housing and the outer rotor.

A gear wheel (10) for a hydraulic apparatus is rotatable about an axis of rotation (H-H) and comprises a plurality of teeth (11) having a sectional profile (P) and being adapted to mesh with respective teeth of another gear wheel during a rotational motion about the axis of rotation (H-H), wherein at least one tooth (11) is shaped so as to have at least one cutting edge (12) configured to remove material, in particular chips, from a body which is contacted by said cutting edge during the rotation of the gear wheel (10). Suitably, the cutting edge (12) is defined by at least one groove (14) which is lowered by amount from 0.2% to 5% of the height (H′) of the tooth (11), said groove (14) decreasing away from the cutting edge (12) along the profile (P).

A volumetric gear machine interacting with a working fluid comprising: a first toothed wheel (3) with helical teeth comprising a first tooth (31) in turn comprising a first and a second flank (311, 312) opposite each other; a second toothed wheel (4) with helical teeth having two opposite flanks, the first and the second wheel (3, 4) being operatively coupled in a meshing area (2). At a portion of the meshing area (2), the first and the second flank (311, 312) being in simultaneous contact with the second wheel (4).

A high pressure delivery system for delivering a medicament, comprising a first chamber for storing a supply of the medicament, a gear pump assembly in fluid communication with the first chamber, said gear pump assembly having a dose inlet and a dose discharge, said dose inlet having a larger diameter than said dose discharge to provide a high pressure discharge, and a fluid connection path in fluid communication with the gear pump assembly for delivering the medicament to a high pressure area.

A pump having at least two fluid drivers and a method of delivering fluid from an inlet of the pump to an outlet of the pump using the at least two fluid drivers. Each of the fluid drives includes a prime mover and a fluid displacement member. The prime mover drives the fluid displacement member to transfer fluid. The fluid drivers are independently operated. However, the fluid drivers are operated such that contact between the fluid drivers is synchronized. That is, operation of the fluid drivers is synchronized such that the fluid displacement member in each fluid driver makes contact with another fluid displacement member. The contact can include at least one contact point, contact line, or contact area.

Provided is a gear pump device that enables improvement in volumetric efficiency and manufacturability, and also makes it possible to ensure sealing property and to reduce drive torque. According to the present invention, a sealing mechanism is provided with an annular rubber member, an outer member, and an inner member, wherein: the inner member has, at an end of an outer peripheral wall on the side of an inner gear in the axial direction, a notch which is recessed radially inward of the inner gear so as to form, together with an axial one end face of the inner gear, a depressed part; and the outer member has an insertion part which is disposed within the depressed part and which abuts against the axial one end face of the inner gear so as to constitute a part of a sealing surface on the other side.

A gear pump is capable of maintaining the pump volumetric efficiency for preferably supplying a hydraulic liquid while adequately securing a sealing area, even if a cross sectional area of a flow-in passage is increased. The cross section of a suction passage has a rectangular shape in a side close to a hollow space in a body, and has a circular shape in the outside of the body. The rectangular shape of the suction passage in the hollow space side in the body has a long side extending in a direction along the tooth width of the spur gears, and a short side extending along a direction perpendicular to the tooth width direction. The suction passage has a shape that smoothly connects the rectangular shape in the hollow space side in the body with the circular shape in the outside of the body.

What is provided is a fuel supply system that includes a fuel gear pump that is driven by an electric motor and sends fuel in a fuel tank to a fuel nozzle that supplies fuel to the combustor, a controller that controls a rotational speed of the electric motor, and the flow rate measurer that measures the flow rate of fuel discharged from the fuel gear pump. When the difference between the fuel flow rate actually discharged from the electric motor and a target value of the flow rate is equal to or greater than a first threshold value with respect to the target value, the controller adjusts the rotational speed of the electric motor so that the measured value of the flow rate of the fuel discharged from the fuel gear pump approaches the target value.
