Gear Pumps

Internal gear pumps are positive displacement pumps that feature a rotor and idler gear arrangement to ensure flow. In this design, a crescent-shaped divider is included with the internal gear, and the entire mechanism operates within an external gear structure. As the rotor gear rotates the idler gear, the crescent separates the gaps between the gears. Thus, the liquid is volumetrically retained in the area where the gears separate, and at the point where the gears meet, it is directed with pressure to the outlet port. Thanks to this principle, internal gear pumps offer low-pulse flow, high efficiency, and reliable performance.

About the Brand

ROTAN

The internal gear pump principle was developed in 1915 by a Danish-born American. In 1921, a Danish company was licensed to manufacture these pumps, and since then they have been continuously marketed worldwide under the ROTAN® brand.
The unique, modular concept of ROTAN® pumps is generally recognized as the most advanced internal gear pump design available today.
This ensures superior self-priming capability and precise fluid handling, while also making it possible to pump high-viscosity fluids.
