The axis of the inner rotor is offset from the axis of the outer rotor and both rotors rotate on their respective axes. The inner rotor has n teeth, while the outer rotor has n + 1 teeth, with n defined as a natural number greater than or equal to 2. A gerotor unit consists of an inner and an outer rotor. The name gerotor is derived from 'generated rotor'.
