Abstract
The behaviour of the gear in between two fixed clearance wear plates of a high pressure pump was studied experimentally while the pump was running under typical operating conditions. This was achieved by measuring the oil film thickness between the wear plate (end plate) and gear end face. It was found that the gear end face was running tilted with a sinusoidal variation of clearance on the end plate. It has been shown that the dominant mechanism producing the sinusoidal pattern should be misalignment of the shaft centre-line relative to the pump case.
