Disclosed is a fluid delivery supply unit having an internal gear pump as a pump unit, with a bearing race in which a driven inner gear is arranged on a bearing journal and the inner gear rotates with it by way of toothing engagement with an outer gear arranged between the inner gear and the bearing race, and the inner gear has one tooth fewer than the outer gear so that a pumping action is produced. A low noise level, resistance to corrosion, and a reduced weight, are obtained by forming parts of the internal gear pump, such as the bearing race, inner gear or outer gear, of a ceramic material.

In a valve the sealing disks in contact with one another consist of sintered silicon carbide ceramic and have on their functional surface a profile bearing percentage of at least 75% established by grinding and/or lapping and/or polishing. The mean roughness at the functional surface amounts to 0.01 to 0.1 .mu.m. The construction is especially suitable for a sanitary mixing faucet.
