How many of you are using gear pumps instead of diaphragm types and what filter element (micron) sizes are you using?

Gear pumps are light years better than the diaphragm pumps. We have had issues with the diaphragm style pumps stripping out and the rubber deteriorating. I would like to try a gear style pump shortly.
On a gearbox you have to be careful about where you spray the oil. It is best to pick up through the drain plug and build a spray bar to spray on the backside of the gears after they mesh. You do not want to spray right into the gear meshing to avoid hydraulic pitting on the gear faces. |
