General Characteristics
Description
- Miniature, brushless DC, diaphragm pumps.
- True brushless DC motor, not an inverter-driven AC motor.
- Motor and crank pin bearings are double-shielded, instrument type ball bearings lubricated for the life of the unit.
- Pumping section(s) consist of synthetic rubber diaphragms housed in molded plastic or aluminum casings directly driven from the motor shaft by a scotch yoke-crank assembly.
- Valves are self-biasing, fiberglass reinforced synthetic rubber or other elastomer.
- No metallic springs are used.
- Air or gas being pumped contact only the plastic and synthetic rubber areas.
- All moving parts are completely enclosed.
- Small physical size and extremely low power drain-to-air delivery ratio; ideal for portable applications where only battery power is available.
- Motor generates no radio frequency interference (RFI) and all electronic components are contained within the motor housing.
- Pumps may be mounted in any position.
Life Expectancy
- Life expectancy is 10,000 hours or more (except diaphragms - see below), continuous duty.
Diaphragms
- Diaphragm life expectancy exceeds 5,000 hours for standard Neoprene. Viton diaphragms can exceed 12,000 hours. Actual diaphragm life is dependant upon service conditions.
- Diaphragms are field replaceable
