The key task of external gear pumps is to convert mechanical energy (torque and rotational speed) into hydraulic energy (flow and pressure). To reduce heat loss, Rexroth external gear units are designed to be extremely efficient. This efficiency is achieved through pressure-dependent gap sealing and high-precision manufacturing technology.
Product Description
Rexroth external gear pumps are available in four frame sizes: Platforms B, F, N and G, with different gear widths within a platform for different displacements. The pumps come in Standard, High-Performance, SILENCE and SILENCE PLUS versions. Additional versions with different flanges, shafts, valve attachments and multiple pump combinations are also available.
Design:
The external gear pump consists essentially of a pair of gear wheels supported in bearing bushings and the housing with a front cover and an end cover. The drive shaft protrudes from the front cover where it is usually sealed by the shaft seal. The bearing forces are absorbed by slide bearings. These bearings were designed for high pressures and have excellent emergency running properties, especially at low rotational speeds. The gear wheels have 12 teeth.
This keeps both flow pulsation and noise emission to a minimum. The internal sealing of the pressure chambers is achieved by delivery pressure-dependent forces. This ensures optimum efficiency. On the rear side, the movable bearing bushings are pressurized with working pressure and pressed as seals against the gear wheels. The pressurized compression areas are limited by special seals. The seal in the area between the gear teeth and the housing is ensured by the smallest of gaps that adjust depending on the pressure between the gear teeth and housing.
