Anyone ever see a non-geared oil pump?
I have never seen any oil pump on any engine going back to designs around since
the early 20th century that were not geared, except for the B&S engine which uses a scoop on the bottom of the connecting rod cap to supply pressure oil. genee/rickie claim non-geared oil pumps on engines are common. Anyone know which engine designs used oil pumps that are not geared? |

Anyone ever see a non-geared oil pump?
I have seen one engine diagram that used a non-geard pump. It used 2 figure 8
shaped lobes that were mounted perpendicular to each other. I don't remeber what engine it was but I seem to recall it being a straight 8 for some reason. Its anyone's guess about who made it. The book was printed sometime in the 1940's. Other pumps of this style were known for large volumes but at low pressure. Who knows, low pressure oiling was common on early engines.

Jax,
You need to be a tad more specific. A geared pump would describe and pump driven by a gear train. A gear pump describes a type of pump that uses the cavitly that develops/closes between the teeth of messed gears (involute tooth face) to move a fluid. If you mean non-gear driven pumps, there are lots of them. Many engines have chain or shaft drive pumps, not includeing those directly on the crankshaft. If you mean oil pumps that are not gear type pumps, there are lots of those out there too. If by gear you are trying to include all positive displacement pumps, then you are nearly correct. But there are many engines out there with vane pumps, internal lobe pumps and progressive cavitry pumps as primary lube oil pumps. Matt Colie - Sig at the end of today's enteries.

Anyone know which engine designs used oil pumps that are not geared? My atomic 2 has a piston oil pump by pushrod from cam, I think. It uses ball bearings in drilled holes for valves, and uses two rattling loosely in the outlet valve cavity, which also contains a mounting screw which passes through the body and outlet channel, retaining the two ball bearings in working position, sometimes. One has a habit of escaping unnoticed into the front main crank journal when the pump is removed in the normal inverted dissasembly position. Low oil pressure results, until the engine is again dissasembled, the vagrant ball shaken out of hiding and reassembled in the another position. Don't ask how I know. I will say I had no idea one ball was gone until I finally got crazy enough to dissassemble and examine the works again, nor was it anything other than pure genius when I deduced it must be so after examining the evidence for about two minutes, after the second one also dissapeared on dissassembly. On a white sheet of paper fell out the ball of logic, as the universe rattled around the engine block in my arms. No, it isn't mentioned in the shop manual, a copy of which was faxed to me by Westerbeke, for 50 bucks. Shine on. Terry K |

What would you call the pump Honda uses in Accords and Civics (or used to use)? If I recall correctly, it was a 5 lobed rotor which ran inside a 6 lobed ring. The ring rotated along with the rotor and the rotor lobes would sweep through the indentations between the lobes in the ring. In this way it had positive displacement, sort of like a cross between a Wankel and a rotary vane pump. Internal lobed pump? %mod% |
