Gear pump and its use

Gear pump with intermeshing gearwheels (1) enclosed by a 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 means of slide bearings (3) each 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 the 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, such that the first bar (11) with a first bar width (D1) with axial expansion corresponding to a slide bearing surface is present, characterized in

• that the lubrication pocket (2) is also spaced apart from the bearing end face (8) opposite the gear 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 a slide bearing surface is present,
• that a bore (4) leads through the slide bearing (3) and communicates with the lubrication pocket (2) at an injection point (13) and
• that the bore (4) is operatively connected to a conveying device for conveying lubricating medium into the lubricating pocket (2).
