Numerical analysis of contact stresses at rotational elements of gerotor pumps with fixed position of shafts axis and with driving rotor acting as internal element, is presented in this paper. The basic characteristics and principles of functioning of this type of pumps are explained and review of researches in the area of numerical methods and developments and design optimizations of those pumps are presented. The basic assumptions, limitation and input values are defined in order to determine maximal stresses, numerical analysis of contact stresses, which are caused by transmitting of torque from internal to external gear. The obtained results of research contact stresses by numerical and analytical method are graphical presentations. The comparisons of results for better understanding of its deviations also were performed.
