. . "A gerotor is a positive displacement pump. The name gerotor is derived from \"Generated Rotor\". A gerotor unit consists of an inner and outer rotor. The inner rotor has N teeth, and the outer rotor has N+1 teeth with N defined as a natural number greater than 2. The inner rotor is located off-center and both rotors rotate. The geometry of the two rotors partitions the volume between them into N different dynamically-changing volumes."@en .
