Oberdorfer N992 Bronze Centrifugal Style Gear Pump 3/8 Inch NPT Industrial Transfer Solution
The Oberdorfer N992 series bronze 3/8 inch gear pump is a compact positive displacement solution designed for reliable transfer of water, oils, and compatible light chemicals. Built with a corrosion-resistant bronze housing and stainless steel shaft, it delivers consistent performance even under varying discharge pressure conditions. The 3/8" NPT ports make it suitable for tight installations and OEM equipment integration .
This pump operates using helical bronze gears that ensure smooth, quiet fluid movement while maintaining steady flow proportional to shaft speed. With self-lubricating carbon graphite bearings and a Buna lip seal design, it is engineered for durability and long service life in continuous-duty applications. It is commonly used in circulation systems, lubrication circuits, and light industrial fluid transfer setups.
