ABSTRACT

Gerotor pumps are a kind of internal gear pump, widely used in applications of lubricating system of on-road or off-road engines. Normally their outer rotors are the circular arc profile while their inner rotor profile is the conjugate curve of the outer rotor. This research focuses on how to derive the combined trochoidal profile of a gerotor pump. The hypocycloidal and epicycloidal profile of the inner rotor is generated at first. And then the profile of the outer rotor, based on the inner rotor profile, is obtained by analytical approach and computationally graphical approach. The paper provides feasibility to develop the unconventional profile of a gerotor pump.
