Hello everyone, I a new to this forum , and I am coming with a question
Do piston pumps outlast the gear pumps ? What is the life expectancy on gear pump vs piston pump?
Any information would be appreciated.

Piston pumps can outlast gear pumps but proper filtration/oil cleanliness is absolutely imperative to longest life. You also want to use a quality oil of the right viscosity. What are you needing a pump for?
