Cavity Design
Cavity style gear pumps feature a conventional design that uses gears rotating within a precision cavity to carry fluid from the pump's inlet to the outlet. Benefits of the cavity style pumps include excellent lift capability, moderate pressure capability, high system pressure on selected models, and exceptional chemical resistance. These pumps deliver accurate metering for a wide range of precision applications and offer fewer wearing parts, easy installations, and user-friendly operation.
Suction Shoe Design
Developed by Micropump, the revolutionary suction shoe pressure loaded gear pump design features a 'suction shoe' that allows the pump to self-compensate for wear. Suction shoe pumps maintain high volumetric efficiency, even at elevated pressures. In addition, by reducing the parts needed for operation to a minimum, the suction shoe design minimises downtime and simplifies servicing. Additional benefits include near zero slip for more accurate metering, longer life and better performance as pump components wear or thermally expand, and good chemical resistance. |
