A gear pump is a type of positive displacement pump that uses the meshing of gears to pump fluid. It consists of two or more gears, which are typically enclosed in a casing. When the gears rotate, they create a vacuum on the inlet side, drawing fluid into the pump, and then force it out on the outlet side as the gears continue to turn. Gear pumps are widely used in various industries for their reliability and efficient handling of viscous fluids.
