Technology

Three gears, not two

A gear pump moves fuel by changing the volume trapped between the gears and the pump body.

SCHEMATIC SUCTION DISCHARGE MESH LINE THIRD GEAR AIR BUBBLE IN

As the gears turn, the volume on the disengaging side grows, creating a vacuum that draws fuel in; on the meshing side it shrinks and pushes fuel into the line. The mesh line separates suction from discharge, and outlet pressure is set by the restriction downstream of the pump. Our pumps add a third gear to that head: when a bubble reaches the pump, the extra gear keeps the discharge primed instead of letting the flow collapse — the classic cause of a flameout on a small turbine.

  • Brushless motor — no brush wear, no sparking
  • Three-gear head — tolerant of air entrainment
  • No-leak sealing at rated condition
  • RP-3 jet fuel, ≥ 70 % fraction
