Claim Text:
1. A gerotor pump comprising: a housing which comprises a first supply socket and a second supply socket, an inner rotor; and an outer rotor rotatably located relative the housing; wherein the inner rotor is located within the outer rotor, lobes of the inner and the outer rotors are engaged, and the inner rotor is centered around a rotational axis which is eccentric from an axis of rotation of said outer rotor, wherein a pressure chamber with a high pressure and a low pressure section is defined between the inner and outer rotors, wherein the inner rotor is rotatably arranged on a shaft cylinder which is fixed at one end of a central drive shaft of the pump and is centered about said rotational axis, whereby said inner rotor wanders in said outer rotor when said central drive shaft is turned, wherein the inner rotor is provided with radial supply conduits extending from the pressure chambers to the shaft cylinder, wherein said shaft cylinder is provided with at least a first and a second cylinder opening, such that the first cylinder opening is axially displaced relative the second cylinder opening, and said first opening is arranged such that it is connected to said high pressure section, and said second cylinder opening is arranged such that it is connected to said low pressure section, wherein an inner end of a supply tube is provided inside the shaft cylinder, said supply tube is provided with a first and a second supply line, which in its outer end are connected to a first and second supply socket correspondently, and the supply tube is provided with at least a first and a second supply opening corresponding to said first and second supply line, and wherein the first and second supply openings are axially displaced relative each other such that the axial positions of said first and second supply openings correspond to the axial position of said first and second cylinder openings, wherein said first and second supply lines are divided into two sub supply lines each located opposite each other in the supply tube, and wherein each sub supply line is provided with a corresponding supply opening located at the same axial position, and wherein a first, second and third sealing ring are provided between said supply tube and said shaft cylinder, such that two spaces, sealed from each other, are formed between the supply tube and the shaft cylinder.
