Gear Pumps
Crane Engineering offers gear pumps for a wide range of fluid process applications. They function best on viscous fluids with lubricating characteristics such as oils, paints, pigments, and corn syrup plus many industrial chemicals such as resins.
A gear pump is a type of positive displacement pump that moves fluid between the gear teeth and pump housing in a fixed volume proportional to speed. Gear pumps are compact and simple with a limited number of moving parts.
External Gear Pump:
An external gear pump consists of two identical interlocking gears supported by separate shafts. External gear pumps have tight internal clearances providing a controlled flow.
Internal Gear Pump:
Internal gear pumps have two interlocking gears of different sizes with one rotating inside the other. These pumps are very versatile, durable, and have both a high viscosity and temperature range.
