7N-4517: Prelubrication Gear Pump

A Gear pump is a mechanical device designed to provide a continuous and reliable flow of lubricating oil to components of the engine before it is started. It consists of two meshing gears, enclosed within a housing or casing. One gear is driven by the engine or an auxiliary power source, while the other is the driven gear. The gears rotate in opposite directions, creating chambers between the teeth where the lubricating oil is trapped and transported. Attributes: • Provide optimal oil flow and minimize energy losses. • Withstands harsh operating conditions. • Designed to resist high pressures and temperatures. Applications: A Gear pump provides the longevity, reliability, and optimal performance of engines in these demanding conditions.
