Component of External Gear Pump

The document summarizes the components and functions of external and internal gear pumps. The main components of external gear pumps include seals, drive and idler gears, mounting flanges, ports, bushings, and casings. The gears mesh to create pressure differences that move fluid from the suction to pressure ports. Internal gear pumps use an inner driver gear and outer driven gear in a crescent shape to divide and seal fluid as it moves from suction to discharge. Different gear shapes like helical and herringbone distribute force and reduce noise.
