Bearing for Pump

A pump comprising:

• a housing defining a gear chamber, the housing defining an inlet and an outlet in fluid communication with the gear chamber;
• a gear arrangement disposed within the gear chamber configured to drive fluid from the inlet to the outlet, the gear arrangement including at least two gears rotatable about corresponding axes of rotation, each of the two gears defining first and second axial gear faces that face in opposite axial directions;
• journals coupled to the two gears and aligned along the axes of the two gears;
• a first bearing structure including an inboard end that opposes the first axial gear face of the two gears, the first bearing structure defining a first set of through-openings for radially supporting the journals relative to the housing such that the journals are rotatable about the axes of rotation relative to the housing;
• a second bearing structure including an inboard end that opposes the second axial gear face of the two gears, the second bearing structure defining a second set of through-openings for radially supporting the journals relative to the housing such that the journals are rotatable about the axes of rotation relative to the housing, the second bearing structure also defining an outboard end;
• and
• the second bearing structure comprising a first bearing component defining the inboard end and a second bearing component defining the outboard end, the first bearing component being axially movable relative to the second bearing component and being configured for directing a first axial force toward the second axial gear face of the two gears, the second bearing component being configured to transfer radial load from the two gears to the housing and for preventing radially load from being applied through the first bearing component, the first bearing component and the second bearing component each defining portions of the second set of through-openings.
