Abstract
A new approach to model the motion of floating bushings in external gear pumps is presented in this article, where lubrication conditions have been introduced using dimensional analysis. This model is based on Bond Graph diagrams and has been experimentally validated in lab tests measuring the movement of the floating bushing inside the gear pump by means of laser micrometers. The novelty of this research is the creation of a simple and experimentally validated tool for the behaviour study of these types of pumps, which allows the simulation of a dynamic rigid solid in a fluid boundary with clearances of the order of microns, without using powerful CFD tools, with very short execution times, and using conventional computational tools. The qualitative behaviour of the model with respect to the experimental results is very similar, adjusting the numerical values with very acceptable accuracies by taking into account the precision of the experimental measurements, and allows us to use the model to interpret the volumetric and mechanical efficiency variations according the operating conditions.
