gerotor volume, RPM and displacement
gerotor volume, RPM and displacement
(OP)
Hello all,
Hello all,
I am working with a gerotor that I have no information about. It is a custom gerotor. I have the gerotor part with me and i was hoping to measure the volume of the fluid gerotor can dispense from the part I have. Can someone please explain to me how I can measure the volume of the fluid the gerotor dispenses? Plus how can I measure the RPM and Torque of the gerotor?
Thanks,
Mo

You are judged not by what you know, but by what you can do.

The trick would be how to accurately measure this volume between the teeth. I would suggest scanning and copying the gears - then blow them up maybe by 10X - print out the result - measure the area on squared millimetre graph paper - then divide the result by ten.

If you need an accurate volumetric flow rate of your gerotor design, you will also need to know the exact inlet/outlet port geometries, clearances/gaps between all the pump working surfaces, fluid characteristics, operating conditions, etc. The volumetric efficiency of the pump can be greatly affected if there are excessive gaps/clearances between the pump elements/housings combined with high pressures.
