Gear pump with intermeshing gearwheels enclosed by housing with bearing journals arranged on shaft axes

Gear pump with intermeshing gearwheels (1) enclosed by housing with bearing journals (5, 6) arranged on shaft axes (9) and each projecting laterally from the gearwheels (1), which are mounted in the housing by of slide bearings (3) each of the side bearing having a slide bearing length (L) and each having a lubrication pocket (2) with radial expansion, wherein the lubrication pocket (2) is spaced from a gear-side end face (7) of a respective slide bearing (3) by a first distance (d1), so that a first bar (11) with a first bar width (D1) with axial expansion corresponding to a slide bearing surface is present, wherein:

• the lubrication pocket (2) is also spaced apart from a bearing end face (8) opposite the gear-side end face (7) by a second distance (d2), so that a second bar (12) with a second bar width (D2) with axial expansion corresponding to the slide bearing surface is present,
• a bore (4) leads through the slide bearing (3) and communicates with the lubrication pocket (2) at an injection point (13),
• the bore (4) is operatively connected to a conveying device for conveying lubricating medium into the lubricating pocket (2), and
• the injection point (13), viewed in a direction of rotation (R) of the gearwheels (1), is arranged at a beginning of the lubrication pocket (2), and the lubrication pocket (2) is deepest in a region of the injection point (13).
