CONT

Both gear- and gerotor-type pumps are used in the lubricating system of the turbine engine. ... The Gerotor pump has two moving parts: an inner-toothed element meshing with an outer-toothed element. The inner element has one less tooth than the outer. The missing tooth provides a chamber to move the fluid from the intake to the discharge port. Both elements are mounted eccentrically to one another on the same shaft.

CONT

Pitot pumps are seldom used in gearbox lubrication systems, as it is more common to employ a positive displacement pump such as a gear pump or a gerotor type pump.

OBS

gerotor: A gear-within-gear pump that consists of an inner gear with one less tooth than the outer gear.
