It's the inner values that counts!

Internal gear pumps have several advantages over other designs. What makes the efficient all-rounders from Bosch Rexroth so attractive and versatile? Four questions, four answers.
Dynamic processes, short cycle times, and increased energy efficiency – these are the challenges that industrial hydraulics must address. In this article, we shine a spotlight on a typical basic component that definitely deserves a closer look: the internal gear pump. Why? Here are the four most frequently asked questions – and four clear answers.

Do we have an efficient pump solution for highly dynamic processes?

Of course, our efficient, modularly combinable internal gear pumps.

Internal gear pumps from Bosch Rexroth are highly efficient and versatile all-rounders. This compact, robust, and quiet type of positive displacement pump delivers consistently high efficiency levels – for many, many years. The key to this is the compensation of unwanted leakage in both axial and radial directions. Our design countermeasures automatically optimize the gap dimensions between the internal gear, ring gear, and housing. This ensures the fluid is conveyed continuously, with low pulsation, and with minimal leakage losses. The result: minimal wear, maximum volumetric efficiency.

Further advantages:

  • Ideal for dynamic and variable-speed applications: High efficiency over a wide speed range thanks to a symmetrical design and low moment of inertia.
  • Long service life: Optimal material composition and continuous improvement of manufacturing processes.
  • Modularity: Our cross-design pump combinations open up completely new options for tailor-made solutions. This is how you find the optimal pump for every requirement – typical of Bosch Rexroth.

Can you shorten cycle times and also save energy?

Absolutely, with our highly efficient internal gear pumps – also for variable-speed drives.

Low moments of inertia and consistently high efficiency are the keys to greater performance and energy efficiency. This is a perfect match for variable-speed drives – our energy-efficient alternative to throttle control. With an intelligent combination of an electric motor and an internal gear pump, a displacement control system provides optimal power at every operating point while consuming significantly less energy. In this way, our efficient and durable internal gear pumps make an important contribution to minimal cycle times, optimal process quality, and maximum energy efficiency.

Looking for another benefit? The low-noise operating principle of our internal gear pumps reduces workplace stress and saves on soundproofing measures – ideal for sensitive environments and for your budget.

Do we offer compact pump solutions for high pressure, high speeds, or frequent load changes?

Absolutely! Simply combine our internal gear pumps with other pump types for more power and energy efficiency.

Our internal gear pumps are not only versatile on their own. When combined with other pump types, they create entirely new solution options for individual applications – especially those involving high pressure, high speeds, or frequent load changes. The compact PGH55 model, for example, is very popular. This robust and quiet double pump features a short design and impresses not only with its constant, low-pulsation displacement volume but also with its wide viscosity and speed ranges. The flexibility is almost limitless: all designs and nominal sizes can be freely combined with each other, including with other internal gear pumps, vane pumps, or radial piston pumps.

Can the perfect pump be found in under 2 minutes?

You bet! On our website with the Rexroth pump selectors!

With our selectors for internal gear pumps, you can get a suitable pre-selection for your application by entering just a few criteria. Simply define the operating points (OP) and the volume flow, and select either a variable-speed system or a constant pump as a further parameter. Also typical of Rexroth: a direct link to the Rexroth Store, including CAD data downloads.

Internal gear pumps from Bosch Rexroth are the right choice for a variety of requirements, optimal performance, and energy efficiency. They are compact, robust, quiet, and flexibly combinable – indispensable criteria for dynamic and reliable processes with minimal total costs. Typical Bosch Rexroth.
