GEAR DISPLACEMENT CALCULATION

The volumetric displacement of a gear pump or motor can be approximated by measurement of
the internal parts and substituting the values in the following formula:
V

6.03 w (2d L) L d
2

=
=
=
=

displacement in in/rev
gear width in inches
gear tip diameter in inches
dimension across both gears when meshed in inches

Where
V
w
d
L

In metric units
V

1.57 w (d a)

=
=
=
=

displacement in cm/rev
gear width in centimetres
gear tip diameter in centimetres
gear centres in centimetres

Where
V
