Gear Pump vs Centrifugal Pump | Fluid Power Showdown!

Description:
What's the difference between a Gear Pump and a Centrifugal Pump? Let’s break it down!

Gear Pump is a positive displacement pump that moves fluid using meshing gears. It traps liquid in the cavities between the gear teeth and pump casing, pushing it forward with high pressure and a smooth, steady flow. Ideal for handling viscous fluids like oil, paints, and hydraulic liquids, it’s perfect for applications needing precise and consistent flow.

Centrifugal Pump, on the other hand, is a dynamic pump that uses a rotating impeller to add velocity to the fluid and convert it into pressure. It’s commonly used for pumping low-viscosity fluids like water in applications such as cooling systems, irrigation, and water supply.

Watch this short to see how both pumps work and where each one excels!
