Introduction
A rotary pump is a positive displacement pump that moves fluid by rotating one or more internal elements, such as gears, lobes, screws, or vanes. Unlike centrifugal pumps, rotary pumps deliver a steady, non-pulsating flow regardless of discharge pressure, making them ideal for high-viscosity fluids and applications requiring precise flow control. This article covers the working principle, key features, advantages, disadvantages, and applications of rotary pumps.
