  • Publication number: 20100119398
    Abstract: A gerotor pump has a pump body having a cavity for housing an outer rotor having an outer surface which slides on the surface of the cavity, and an inner surface with lobes projecting inwards of the outer rotor; and an inner rotor, which is fitted to a drive shaft having an axis of rotation, and has lobes which mesh with the lobes of the outer rotor. The inner rotor is divided into at least two lobed portions by cutting the inner rotor along a plane substantially perpendicular to the axis of rotation.
