  • Patent number: 9163626
    Abstract: The invention relates to a gear pump (1) for conveying a fluid, said gear pump comprising a rotatably mounted, external geared toothed wheel (3) and an internal geared annular gear (2) that are meshed in order to generate a conveying action, and are arranged together with an electrically commutable stator (7) in a housing (5). The stator (7) extends concentrically around the annular gear (2) and interacts with the annular gear to generate an electromotive force. The annular gear (2) has a closed, homogeneous cylindrical surface and a plain bearing (13) is provided on the stator (7).

  • Publication number: 20110182752
    Abstract: A method for controlling the feed rate of a feed pump, including a drive part having a drive motor and a hydraulic part having an intake opening, a discharge opening and a feed mechanism situated in between, a setpoint feed rate being predefined and the feed pump being triggered based on the setpoint feed rate, the temperature of the fluid and a pressure difference between the intake opening and the discharge opening of the hydraulic part of the feed pump.
