Less means more for OEM pump/drive unit

Combines a pumphead, a brushless DC motor and an electronic controller into a single, compact unit providing outstanding functionality and smooth, pulseless flow

A better performance from an even smaller pump is the claim for the new q pump package, suited to liquids transfer and dispensing duties in OEM, laboratory, R and D applications.

This latest addition to the range of Micropump gear pump options is available from Michael Smith Engineers.

The challenge for Micropump was to develop a pump unit, up to 20% smaller, without sacrificing power or capacity - and this has been achieved through a combination of innovative design and new features.

For example, the company says the use of over-moulded NdFeB magnets, the latest surface mount technology, and an enhanced heat-sink results in a smaller, more reliable, better performing pump and drive assembly.

The new I-Drive combines a pumphead, a brushless DC motor and an electronic controller into a single, compact unit providing outstanding functionality and smooth, pulseless flow.

The thermal and overload protected electronic controller provides variable speed drive options of 0-5 VDC, 4-20 mA remote control signal, or local manual control.

Mounting options include a motor flange attachment or a removable bracket.

The I-Drive is available in standard or custom OEM configurations with flow rates up to 3.2litres/min at differential pressures up to 7 bar.

The simplicity of the built-in speed control and the tachometer output signal allows easy integration into PLC or PC controlled systems or end-user installations.
