German RICKMEIER pump RICKMEIER model RICKMEIER price

RICKMEIER pumps are rotary pumps that transport liquids or increase their pressure by relying on the change and movement of the working volume formed between the pump cylinder and the meshing gears. Two enclosed spaces are formed by two gears, the pump body, and the front and rear covers. When the gears rotate, the volume of the space on the disengaging side increases from small to large, creating a vacuum that draws in the liquid. The volume of the space on the meshing side decreases from large to small, squeezing the liquid into the pipeline. The suction chamber and the discharge chamber are separated by the meshing line of the two gears. The pressure at the discharge port of a gear pump depends entirely on the magnitude of the resistance at the pump outlet.

RICKMEIER pump motor features

1) Compact structure, small size, and light weight: Composed of an aluminum alloy front cover, intermediate body, and rear cover, along with components such as alloy steel gears and aluminum alloy pressure plates. Two DU bearings are press-fitted into the front and rear covers respectively. DU material is an ideal bearing material for gear pumps, significantly extending the service life of the gear pump. 2) Reliable operation: The pressure plate is the main component for radial and axial pressure compensation. It reduces bearing load and automatically adjusts the axial clearance of the gear pump, thereby effectively improving the performance indicators and operational reliability of the gear pump. GM5 and GPC4 series gear motors offer four structural configurations: single rotation direction without front bearing, double rotation direction without front bearing, single rotation direction with front bearing, and double rotation direction with front bearing. Gear motors with front bearings can withstand both radial and axial forces. 3) High speed and high pressure: Speed ranges from 3000 to 4000 rpm, with theoretical torque from 17N.m (N.m) to 64N.m, reaching up to 20-25MPa. 4) Connection methods suitable for imported machinery and engineering equipment: Complies with SAE and national standard GB for mounting flanges, shaft extensions, and inlet/outlet port connections. Widely applicable to hydraulic systems in automobiles, tractors, engineering machinery, agricultural machinery, and other mechanical equipment.

RICKMEIER pump working principle

The concept of a gear pump is very simple. Its most basic form consists of two gears of identical size meshing and rotating within a closely fitted housing. The interior of this housing resembles a '8' shape, with the two gears installed inside. The outer diameter of the gears and their sides fit closely with the housing. Material from the extruder enters the space between the two gears at the suction inlet, filling this space. As the teeth rotate, the material moves along the housing and is finally discharged when the two teeth mesh. Gear pumps are also known as positive displacement devices. Similar to a piston in a cylinder, when one tooth enters the fluid space of another tooth, the liquid and the tooth cannot occupy the same space simultaneously because the liquid is incompressible. Thus, the liquid is mechanically squeezed out. Due to the continuous meshing of the teeth, this phenomenon occurs continuously, providing a continuous discharge volume at the pump outlet. The discharged volume per revolution is constant. As the drive shaft rotates uninterrupted, the pump discharges fluid without interruption. The pump flow rate is directly related to the pump speed. In reality, there is a small amount of fluid loss within the pump because this fluid is used to lubricate the bearings and the sides of the gears. Furthermore, the pump body cannot have a gap-free fit, so the fluid cannot be discharged from the outlet 100%. Therefore, a small amount of fluid loss is inevitable, preventing the pump's operating efficiency from reaching 100%. However, the pump can still operate well, achieving an efficiency of 93% to 98% for most extruded materials. This pump is not significantly affected by changes in fluid viscosity or density during the process. If there is a damper, such as a filter screen or a restrictor placed on the discharge side, the pump will push the fluid through them. If this damper changes during operation—i.e., if the filter screen becomes dirty or clogged, or if the back pressure of the restrictor increases—the pump will maintain a constant flow rate until it reaches the mechanical limit of the weakest component in the device (usually equipped with a torque limiter). There is actually a limit to the speed of a pump, which mainly depends on the process fluid. If oil is being transported, the pump can rotate at high speeds. However, when the fluid is a high-viscosity polymer melt, this limitation increases significantly. It is crucial to fill the space between the two teeth on the suction inlet side with high-viscosity fluid. If this space is not fully filled, the pump cannot discharge an accurate flow rate. Therefore, the PV value (pressure × flow velocity) is another limiting factor and a process variable. Due to these limitations, gear pump manufacturers offer a range of products with different specifications and displacements (volume discharged per revolution). These pumps are matched to specific application processes to optimize system capacity and price.

RICKMEIER pump trapped oil phenomenon

For a gear pump to operate smoothly, the contact ratio of the gear meshing must be greater than 1. Consequently, there are always two pairs of gears meshing simultaneously, trapping a portion of the oil in the enclosed cavity formed by these two pairs of gear teeth. This enclosed cavity gradually decreases in volume as the gears rotate, and then gradually increases. The reduction in the volume of the enclosed cavity compresses the trapped oil, generating high pressure. This causes the oil to squeeze out through gaps, leading to oil heating and imposing additional loads on the components. Conversely, the increase in the volume of the enclosed cavity creates a local vacuum, causing dissolved gases in the oil to separate and resulting in cavitation. These effects produce strong vibration and noise, known as the trapped oil phenomenon in gear pumps. 1) Hazards: Significant radial unbalanced forces can cause shaft bending, contact between the gear tips and the housing, accelerated bearing wear, and reduced bearing life. 2) Elimination method: To eliminate trapped oil, relief grooves are typically machined into the side cover plates. When the volume of the enclosed cavity decreases, it connects to the pressure chamber through the left relief groove. When the volume increases, it connects to the suction chamber through the right relief groove.
