    • A gerotor pump includes a pump head including a configuration of gerotors for pumping in operation a fluid medium from an input port arrangement to an output port arrangement, and a motor arrangement for providing mechanical power in operation for actuating the configuration of gerotors. The configuration of gerotors includes an outer gerotor and an inner gerotor that are operable to cooperate to entrap and propel the fluid medium from the input port arrangement to the output port arrangement. At least one of the outer gerotor and the inner gerotor are fabricated from a flexible material and/or are internally structured so as to exhibit a flexible peripheral exterior surface in operation. Moreover, the outer gerotor and the inner gerotor are loaded and/or are assembled together in a preloaded state, within the pump head, so that a gap formed between the gerotors whereat they mutually cooperate for entrapping and propelling the fluid medium is maintained in a flexibly compressed state when the pump is in operation. Optionally, at least one of the outer and inner gerotors is fabricated as a hybrid component including regions of a flexible material therein, and regions of an inflexible material therein. More optionally, the flexible material has a Young's modulus in a range of 1 MegaPascal (MPa) to 5 GigaPascals (GPa), and the inflexible material has a Young's modulus in a range of 2 GPa to 420 GPa. Optionally, at least one gerotor gerotor pump is includes in a gerotor pump apparatus that includes a pulse attenuating arrangement at an output port of the gerotor pump apparatus for attenuating periodic pulses and fluctuations in a fluid flow provided in use at the output port.
