Abstract (en)

A gerotor pump has an inner rotor (10) with lobes (15) on its outer periphery and an outer rotor (13) with lobes (16) on its inner periphery. The outer rotor (13) is arranged to rotate about an axis which is excentric relative to the axis of rotation of the inner rotor (10) whereby the lobes (15,16) define a series of pumping chambers. The pump further includes an inlet port (21) and an outlet port (22) with sealing lands (23,24) forming seals therebetween. One of the sealing lands (24) includes a groove (26) which extends generally circumferentially across the land from the outlet port (22) but terminates distant from the inlet port (21). The groove (26) acts to enable a gradual equalization of pressures in the outlet port and pumping chambers during operation thereby reducing noise and vibration. <IMAGE>
