Abstract
A gear pump for delivering liquid media has a pump housing with at least two bores, in which at least two meshing gears with tooth tips are contained. The gears are radially mounted by bearing surfaces which on one side consist of areas of the tooth tips and on the other side, of areas of the interior of the bores. This arrangement requires no slide bearings in the conventional sense, which results in a smaller number of pump parts and hence to reduced manufacturing costs.
