GEAR MOTOR

Construction and Working


Two meshing spur gears with shafts are mounted
on the bearing located in the closed housing. The
housing is provided with inlet and outlet port. One
of the gears acts idle and the other is mounted on
the output shaft projecting out of the casing.
The high pressure oil led from the pump, forces the
gear in mesh to move in opposite directions. The
rotational displacement of the gear is transferred to
the output shaft. The low pressure oil is delivered
out through the outlet port.
