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

=

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