High Efficiency Industrial Arc Gear Oil Pump for Lubricating Oil, Heavy Oil, Diesel Fuel and Hydraulic Fluid Transfer Systems
2026-05-15 17:28
The Arc Gear Oil Pump is a high-efficiency positive displacement pump specially designed for transferring lubricating oils, hydraulic oils, fuel oils, diesel, heavy oil, and other viscous liquids without solid particles or fibers. Featuring advanced double circular-arc gear technology, this pump delivers stable flow, low noise operation, high efficiency, and long service life. It is widely used in petroleum, chemical processing, marine engineering, hydraulic systems, fuel delivery systems, lubrication stations, power plants, construction machinery, and industrial manufacturing applications.
Compared with traditional involute gear pumps, the arc gear structure significantly reduces gear surface friction during meshing. The tooth profile minimizes sliding friction, which effectively decreases wear, vibration, and noise while improving volumetric efficiency and operational stability. This advanced design makes the Arc Gear Oil Pump an ideal solution for continuous-duty industrial fluid transfer applications.

The pump body is typically manufactured from high-quality cast iron, cast steel, or stainless steel materials depending on the working medium and operating environment. Stainless steel versions are suitable for corrosive liquids and high-temperature media, while cast iron models are commonly used for lubricating oils and industrial fluids. The pump can operate with media viscosities ranging from 5 cSt to 1500 cSt, making it suitable for both light oils and high-viscosity fluids.
Structural Features
The Arc Gear Oil Pump mainly consists of:
- Double arc gears
- Pump casing
- Pump cover
- Drive shaft
- Bearing sleeves
- Mechanical seal or packing seal
- Relief safety valve
The double circular-arc gear profile is the core technology of the pump. During operation, the gears mesh smoothly without significant relative sliding, reducing mechanical wear and improving sealing performance. This structure eliminates trapped liquid phenomena commonly found in conventional gear pumps, resulting in lower pulsation and quieter operation.
The built-in safety relief valve protects the pump against overload conditions. The valve is usually set at approximately 1.5 times the rated discharge pressure and can be adjusted according to operating requirements. This design ensures safe and reliable operation under varying working conditions.
Two shaft sealing options are generally available:
- Mechanical Seal
Provides excellent leakage prevention and is suitable for clean fluids and higher-pressure applications. - Packing Seal
Suitable for standard industrial applications with convenient maintenance and lower operating cost.
Special customized designs such as magnetic drive sealing, heating jackets, explosion-proof motors, and stainless steel construction can also be provided according to customer requirements.
Working Principle
The Arc Gear Oil Pump operates based on the positive displacement principle. When the gears rotate, cavities formed between the gear teeth and pump casing create suction at the inlet side. The liquid is drawn into these cavities and transported around the casing toward the discharge side. As the gears mesh again, the liquid is forced out under pressure through the outlet port.
Because the arc gear profile reduces fluid turbulence and internal leakage, the pump maintains stable flow and high transfer efficiency even under high viscosity conditions. The self-priming capability allows easy startup and reliable operation in fuel transfer and lubrication systems.
