NYP horizontal gear pump features a unique internal gear design and sophisticated engineering principles that highlight its advantages of low wear and long service life during operation. It employs a co-rotating internal gear configuration to significantly reduce equipment wear.
This pump is primarily consist of an outer rotor with internal teeth and a mating inner rotor. When the unit is started, the outer rotor acts as the drive wheel, causing the inner rotor to rotate in the same direction within the fully enclosed pump housing, effectively separating the inlet and outlet via the crescent-shaped plate between the pump housing and the front cover. As the rotors continue to rotate, a vacuum is created on the suction side to draw in the fluid, which is then carried by the spaces between the rotor teeth to the discharge side. The fluid is smoothly expelled from the pump housing under the gradual meshing and squeezing action of the outer rotor’s internal teeth and the inner rotor, thereby completing the delivery process. During this process, the inner and outer rotors rotate in the same direction, relying on the conveyed liquid medium to form a lubricating film at the tooth contact surfaces. This self-lubricating mechanism ensures that the contact surfaces remain constantly lubricated by the liquid, significantly reducing direct metal-to-metal friction and thereby substantially minimizing machine wear during the pumping process.
In this internal gear structure, the number of teeth on the driving and driven gears is not simple multiple of each other, allowing wear to be evenly distributed across each gear and ensuring that each gear makes contact with the other approximately the same number of times. This design prevents premature failure on certain tooth surfaces caused by uneven force distribution, thereby effectively extending the service life of the entire rotor and the machine. Since its main components consist only of the inner rotor and the drive shaft, there are fewer moving parts and less friction, which in turn reduces the failure rate and the number of wear points.
To prevent excessive wear on the gear edges, the NYP series gear pumps compensate for wear on the rotor edges by adjusting the position of the rotor shaft. This means that even in the event of wear, adjustments can be made to restore the equipment to a normal, stable operating state, significantly extending the effective service life of the entire pump. Moreover, the unit features a low-speed design which, on one hand, prevents the sealing surfaces from reaching high temperatures, thereby avoiding seal aging and accelerated wear caused by heat. On the other hand, the low speed effectively reduces vibration and noise, which in turn lowers the impact loads on individual components, further minimizing wear and extending the machine’s service life.
The pump body of this equipment is constructed from durable materials to prevent damage to seals and bearings caused by vibration or external impacts, thereby ensuring the pump’s stability and reliability during operation. Since media of different viscosities have varying requirements for internal clearances, the NYP high-viscosity pump can meet process requirements under different operating conditions by adjusting the gear clearance according to viscosity needs. This design ensures that the gears operate within the optimal clearance range, avoiding excessive friction caused by too-small clearances or leakage and impact caused by too-large clearances, thereby ensuring pumping efficiency while effectively controlling wear. When conveying high-temperature, high-viscosity, or highly corrosive media, corrosion-resistant and high-temperature-resistant materials are selected to ensure long-term, stable operation in high-temperature environments. When conveying materials prone to crystallization, an insulation jacket can be designed on the front cover and pump body, heated by steam or thermal oil to prevent material crystallization and solidification, thereby avoiding additional wear on the rotor caused by changes in the medium’s state.
Thanks to their design featuring co-rotating inner and outer rotors, uniform tooth wear characteristics, clearance adjustment capabilities, and smooth operation at low speeds, NYP high-viscosity gear pumps demonstrate low wear and a long service life in industries such as petroleum, chemicals, construction, food, and biopharmaceuticals.
