It consists of one external and one internal meshing gear pair.
External gear is connected to electric motor and hence is driving gear. Internal gear or ring gear is driven gear which rotates in same direction as that of external gear. Between two gear a spacer called ‘crescent’ is located which is a stationary pieces connected to housing. Inlet and outlet ports are located in end plates.
External gear (driving gear) drives the internal gear (Ring Gear). Portion where teeth start meshing, a tight seal is created near port the vacuum is created due to quick un meshing and oil enters from oil tank through inlet port.
Oil is trapped between the internal and external gear teeth on both sides of crescent (spacer) and is then carried from inlet to outlet port. Meshing of gear near outlet port reduces the volume or gap and oil gets pressurized. These pumps make very less noise.
