A split power gerotor pump includes a rotational axis, a shaft, an inner gerotor, an eccentric pocket, and an outer gerotor. The inner gerotor is rotationally fixed on the shaft, rotatable about the rotational axis, and includes n first lobes. The eccentric pocket is rotatable about the rotational axis, and includes a cylindrical bore with a center radially offset from the rotational axis and an outer surface, disposed radially outside of the cylindrical bore and arranged for direct engagement with a gear or a rotor for an electric motor. The outer gerotor includes a cylindrical outer surface installed in the cylindrical bore and n+1 second lobes.

An inner gear includes: sliding surface parts that are provided annularly at an outer peripheral part including a plurality of outer teeth on both sides of the inner gear in its axial direction and that slide on a pump housing; recessed parts that are respectively provided radially inward of the sliding surface parts to respectively form fuel chambers, into which fuel flows, between the recessed parts and the pump housing; and a communication hole that communicates between the recessed parts. The inner gear further includes an inclined surface part that is provided at an edge portion of a communicating edge portion on a rotation advance side of the inner gear, to avoid an adjacent part adjacent to an inner peripheral edge portion of each of the sliding surface parts and that is inclined further toward a rear side in a direction to a central part of the communication hole.

A plurality of external teeth of an inner rotor are formed such that an intake-side clearance is larger than a discharge-side clearance. The intake-side clearance denotes a minimum value of a clearance between an external tooth and an internal tooth defining an inter-teeth chamber which communicates with an intake port and in which an amount of change in volume during rotation of the inner rotor by a unit angle is maximized. The discharge-side clearance denotes a minimum value of a clearance between an external tooth and an internal tooth defining the inter-teeth chamber which at least partially overlaps with a partition wall a first discharge port and a second discharge port when the amount of change in volume per unit angle is maximized.

A gerotor pump is provided with a body defining a chamber with cylindrical wall sections and having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet, and a cover. An internally toothed gear member is supported for rotation within the chamber about a first axis, and has a cylindrical outer wall defining a series of grooves. Each groove has an associated aperture extending through the gear member to an inner surface of the gear member, and is radially positioned between adjacent teeth of the internally toothed gear member. An externally toothed gear member is rotatably supported within the internally toothed gear member about a second axis spaced apart from the first axis, and is coupled for rotation with a drive shaft. The internally toothed gear member and externally toothed gear member cooperate to form a plurality of variable volume pumping chambers therebetween to pump fluid.

A delivery device for delivering a medium in a vehicle and for limiting a system pressure of the delivery device includes a vehicle pump, which is driven by an electric motor. The electric motor is controlled by a controller, the controller being configured to detect an actual rotational speed of the electric motor and an actual operating current of the electric motor. If the actual operating current of the electric motor exceeds a predefined operating current limit value, the controller is configured to generate a first signal relating to a system pressure being exceeded. The predefined operating current limit value is dependent on the actual rotational speed of the electric motor.

A liquid pump, in particular for providing a supply to a transmission or to a clutch in the drive train of a motor vehicle, includes a drive motor, a pump module which can be operated in two opposing directions of rotation, and at least one inlet and multiple outlets, each of which has at least one corresponding check valve. The pump has a valve plate corresponding to the pump module in which, for each check valve, a valve seat and a receptacle for a valve element interacting with the valve seat are provided.

A suction groove is formed in an inside wall surface of a pump cover and is communicated with a suction passage of the pump cover. The suction groove extends along a rotational path of external teeth of an inner rotor and a rotational path of internal teeth of an outer rotor. An edge of a portion of the pump cover, which forms the suction groove, includes chamfered edge parts, which are chamfered, and unchamfered edge parts, which are not chamfered and are not rounded. Each of the unchamfered edge parts is located in a direct-inflow region of the suction groove, which overlaps with the suction passage in a view taken in a direction of a rotational axis, and each of the chamfered edge parts is located in a corresponding one of peripheral regions, which are other than the direct-inflow region.

An inner gear includes an insertion hole, which extends through the inner gear in an axial direction, and a first balance groove, which is axially recessed at an axial end portion of the inner gear and is communicated with the insertion hole. First and second chamfered portions are formed in an inner peripheral edge of the inner gear, which is adjacent to the insertion hole. A joint member has a leg inserted into the insertion hole. An inserting direction of the leg into the insertion hole is defined as a first direction, and a direction, which is opposite from the first direction, is defined as a second direction. In a view taken in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction, at least a part of a first direction side end portion of the leg is axially placed between a first chamfered end plane and a first groove end plane.

A motor-pump system includes a first housing part, a hydraulic pump, an electric motor, and a sensor board. The hydraulic pump includes an outer gerotor rotationally supported on the first housing part and an inner gerotor rotationally supported on the first housing part. The electric motor includes a stator assembly rotationally fixed in the first housing part and a rotor assembly with a non-ferrous sensor target, fixed to the outer gerotor. The sensor board includes a plurality of sensor traces for inductively sensing a signal from the non-ferrous sensor target when the outer gerotor is rotated.

An example crescent seal assembly comprises: an outer crescent of a gear pump; an inner crescent of the gear pump mating with the outer crescent such that an exterior peripheral surface of the inner crescent interfaces with an interior peripheral surface of the outer crescent, forming: (i) a spring cavity, (ii) a first check valve cavity, and (iii) a second check valve cavity therebetween; a spring disposed in the at least one spring cavity; a first check pin disposed in the first check valve cavity; and a second check pin disposed in the second check valve cavity.
