  • Patent number: 11680567
    Abstract: An example assembly comprises: a pump cover; a thrust plate configured to interface with the pump cover at a first side of the thrust plate and interface with gears of a gear pump at a second side of the thrust plate; and a seal disposed within a seal cavity formed at an interface between the thrust plate and the pump cover, wherein the seal defines multiple partitions at the interface between the thrust plate and the pump cover and seals each partition of the multiple partitions from other partitions.

  • Publication number: 20070201989
    Abstract: A gear pump system comprises a gear pump having an inlet, an outlet, and at least one rotating gear for pumping fluid from the inlet to the outlet and producing an output flow characterized by pressure pulses arising from the geometry of the teeth of the gear; and at least one valve operative to vary the output flow in timed relation to the rotation of the gear for counteracting the pressure pulses, thereby to reduce the amplitude of the pressure pulses.
