Zusammenfassung:A fluid gear pump comprising: a first gear (56) including a concentrically disposed first hub portion (72) and a plurality of first teeth (74); a second gear (60) including a concentrically disposed second hub portion (72) and a plurality of second teeth (74), wherein at a time in operation the plurality of first teeth and second teeth contact at first and second contact point to create a backlash volume (90); a first bearing (58) abutting and coaxial to first hub portion; a second bearing (62) abutting and coaxial to second hub portion; and a bridgeland (100) connecting the first and second bearing, the bridgeland (100) separates a low pressure side from a high pressure side, the bridgeland (100) is located such that the backlash volume (90) closes to the high pressure side and opens to the low pressure side when a rate of change of a volume measurement of the backlash volume (90) is decreasing or about equal to zero.
