This article presents a comprehensive experimental and theoretical study and substantiation of the hydraulic parameters of a prototype multi-gear pump. The proposed pump design, which features one drive gear and four driven gears, aims to address the common disadvantages of traditional gear pumps, including radial force imbalance, uneven flow, high acoustic noise, and increased fluid leakage. Tests of the prototype multi-stage pump were conducted on a specialized test stand in the “Hydraulics” workshop of “Hansa-Flex Hydraulik Almaty” LLP. Experimental analysis, supported by theoretical calculations, established the optimal operating speed range for the prototype to be between 900 and 1450 rpm, with the volumetric efficiency remaining stable between 70% and 88% when using VMGZ hydraulic oil (45 cSt). A significant deterioration in performance, including a sharp drop in volumetric efficiency to 30% and a decrease in the pressure generated, was observed at rotational speeds below 900 rpm due to an increase in internal leaks. In addition, this study examined the effect of kinematic viscosity, which revealed a 15–20% decrease in performance and power when using a fluid with lower viscosity (15 cSt) with a slight increase in noise level. This study also examines in detail the linear relationship between useful power and pressure in the system and analyzes noise characteristics under various operating conditions.
