Manufacturing and study on influence of changes in center distance in circle arc-involute-circle arc gear pump operating at high pressure and high speed

Abstract

This study examined the effect of changes in center distance on a circular-arc gear pump that operates at high pressure and high speed. In principal these types of gear pumps have no trapped-oil and flow ripples. The effect of changes in center distance caused by assembly, machining, radial force and oil film force on the performance of circular-arc gear pumps was studied. The results show that the flow rate, axial force and torque increased linearly with an increase in variables $Δ x$ . Computer aided manufacturing for ball end milling has been developed to simulate the process of numerical control of the rotors of circular-arc gear pumps. Two methods for assessing interference are provided. The trajectories of the centers of ball end milling for rough and finish machining are simulated.
