Paper presents the prototype of the gerotor pump with body and gear set made of plastics, its functional tests (checking measurements, run-in process) and experimental research of the efficiency characteristics. The positive results of previous researches of plastics gear sets allowed for the next step in the design of the entire plastic body of the gerotor pump. Experimental research was aimed at checking the proper functioning of the pump with a plastic body and verification of operational factors, impact of speed and pressure on the pump characteristics. Functional tests and experimental studies confirmed the correctness of the structural solution of the pump body. The pump with a plastic body was working correctly as a low pressure unit at low range of rotational speed. Experimental research of the plastic gerotor pump confirm that plastics as a construction material can be used in hydraulics. |
