The Gear Pump (Product Code: SLE/EFM/02) is a positive displacement pump in which a pair of meshing gears carries a fixed volume of oil from inlet to outlet on every full rotation of the shaft. Designed to fit the Positive Displacement Pump Module, it gives students a hands-on way to study one of the simplest and most widely used hydraulic pump designs through experiments, demonstrations and projects. It is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, an engineering lab equipment manufacturer serving technical colleges and training institutes.
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Pump type | Positive displacement gear pump |
| Pumping element | Double gears |
| Working fluid | Oil |
| Delivery | A given volume of fluid for each full rotation of the pump shaft |
| Flow direction | Generally set by gear rotation; test in one direction only, determined by the Universal Dynamometer |
| Connections | Self-sealing, reducing oil spillage and simplifying installation on the pump module |
| For use with | Positive Displacement Pump Module |
Gear pumps are found in lubrication systems, machine-tool hydraulics and mobile equipment, so the experiments carry over directly to what students will see in industry. On the module, the class runs the pump at several speeds, notes how delivered flow follows speed almost in step, and then raises the outlet pressure to observe the torque demand increase and the small drop in flow caused by leakage past the gear teeth. Working out the displacement per revolution from measured data, and comparing it with the value expected from the gear geometry, is a good exercise in engineering estimation.
For TVET and diploma courses that need mechanics lab equipment in India with a clear link to maintenance work, running the gear pump alongside a vane pump on the same module lets learners compare noise, flow smoothness and efficiency between the two designs. The self-sealing connections make that swap quick and tidy. Keep the oil topped up and clean, and never run the pump dry.
The Gear Pump is produced by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited of Ambala, Haryana — the company behind the ScienceLab name — which designs and builds apparatus for engineering, science and vocational teaching. Find out more on the company profile page.

Our full Fluid Mechanics range covers pumps, turbines and flow-measurement apparatus.
How does the Gear Pump move oil?
Its double gears trap oil between the teeth and the casing and carry it to the outlet, delivering a given volume for each full rotation of the shaft.
Can it be used on its own?
It is intended for the Positive Displacement Pump Module, driven in the direction set by the Universal Dynamometer. Contact us to check compatibility with your existing equipment.
What are its dimensions and weight?
These are not listed in our current product data; we can provide them with your quotation.
Why are the connections self-sealing?
They reduce oil spillage and make it simpler to install the pump on the module or swap it for another pump.
Which oil should be used?
Please confirm the recommended oil with our team before first use.
What should our purchase enquiry include?
Quantity, whether you already own the module and dynamometer, and the delivery address. We supply institutions in India and international markets.
