Abstract (en)

In a gear pump, a gear chamber (4) is defined in a housing hole (2) of a housing (3). A pair of gears (7, 8) is housed in the gear chamber (4). The gears (7, 8) are rotatably supported at support holes (13, 14) of a pair of side plates (5, 6) via support shafts (15, 16). As viewed in an axial direction of the support shafts (15, 16) during rotation of the gears (7, 8), addendum circles (70, 80) of the gears (7, 8) displaced under a differential pressure between a low-pressure chamber (31) and a high-pressure chamber (41) form first contact points (P1) with respect to an inner peripheral surface (2a) that defines a housing hole (2). As viewed in the axial direction of the support shafts (15, 16) during rotation of the gears (7, 8), the first contact points (P1) are covered with the side plates (5, 6) displaced under the differential pressure.
