OIL PUMPS GALORE!!! Machining

Round stock would definitely help on the OD of the outer, as it is just round, thus cheaper to turn the OD as opposed to wire EDM. Because it is flat and only .003" less than nominal, I think it will be a tossup.
Surface grinding? Sure, we do that. Are you talking like a ball bearing linear actuator or something?

I want to make some changes to the model.

Looking at the picture they provide there are no recesses going into the flat sections on the inner gear. It might be something for us to consider. Removing that space

Teflon isn't nearly strong enough to be a differential gear.. Teflon coating, maybe.

regarding the teflon thing, we're not making anything out of teflon. for one it cold flows.

the machines will do their thing, i's a matter of being able to get the right measurements and whatnot, once you have the "profile" (i guess) all you have to do is find a shop with the tools to make them to our specs...I mean I figure it would be harder then the gears just by looking at the two, but I think it could still be doneif we had the right people on it.
If I had the means/knowledge/resources/etc. to come up with the figures I'd do it in a heartbeat, this as well is something everyone can benefit greatly from...common, we are a tight bunch for crying out loud, lol
