Gear Pump
Gear pumps use the meshing of gears to displace fluids. As the gears rotate, they separate at the pump inlet to create a void and suction which is filled with the fluid to be pumped. The gears rotate and carry the fluid to the outlet / discharge of the pump where the fluid is displaced as the gears mesh.
The gears and pump casing are designed to allow for very high pressures and the ability to pump very thick, viscous fluids.
