Pumps are usually rated according to their volumetric output and pressure. Volumetric output (delivery rate or capacity) is the amount of liquid that a pump can deliver at its outlet port per unit of time at a given drive speed, usually expressed in GPM or cubic inches per minute. Because changes in pump drive affect […]

Hydraulic Gerotor Pump Efficiency
Overall efficiency accounts for the loss of mechanical energy due to friction, and the loss of hydraulic energy due to the leakage flow. The clearances between moving parts can be thought of as an orifice. Fluid on one side of the orifice has a high pressure (up to the maximum pressure that exists at the […]
