This paper derives formulas for evaluating the flowrate of gerotor pumps. The flowrate formulas are based on a deviation function, and the pitch and generating curves can be circular or noncircular. Two dimensionless parameters, the lobe noncircularity and the pitch noncircularity, are introduced so that gerotor performance can be analyzed systematically.
