DIAPHRAGM PUMP

Larger surface area

The company's 4002 miniature diaphragm ms is engineered with an elongated oval-shaped diaphragm with a larger surface area than a conventional round diaphragm. As a result, it can produce higher flows than a similarly sized pump with a standard diaphragm. It is ideal for applications where space is at a premium, such as gas detectors, air sampling, particle counters, and eye surgery equipment. Rietschle Thomas

Lifetime can exceed 1,000,000 cycles at ambient temperature/300 psi or 500,000 cycles at 200C/300 psi. Valco Instruments Co. Inc. 

FLOW SWITCH

Plastic or stainless steel

The Model 501 Flo-Switch provides a solid-state relay output indicating flow above or below a selected set point. It is ideal for applications with alarms for low- or no-flow conditions, excessive flow, or intermittent flow rates. They are available in plastic or stainless steel construction. Integrated visual indicators display current status. The products may be used with pressures up to 500 psig. McMillan Co. 

MICRO NEEDLE VALVE

Stainless steel

Designed for applications where space, durability, and light weight are required, the M3 threaded needle valve weighs 2.26 gm and has an installed height of about 10.4 mm. It is ideal for mini cylinders, nozzles, timing circuits, filling heads, bleed vents, and other metering applications. The adjusted flow is designed to remain stable during temperature fluctuations; both the needle and valve seat are manufactured from stainless steel. Beswick Engineering 

STATIC MIXER

Short laying length

The company's variable head loss static mixer features a short laying length and accommodates a wide variety of flow rates, with reasonable head loss. It consists of two in-line static mixers in the series: one with a fixed plate and the other pivoting to achieve a mixing range from 0.5 to 10 fps, with a head loss of 3 psi from 0.5 to 8 fps. It is designed to operate over a broad range of mixing rates. Westfall Mfg. Co. 

VALVE ISLAND

Cost effective

The VM15 features a flow to size rate of 1.0 Cv. It is 15 mm wide and is designed to provide a high performance, cost effective, and value-engineered solution that is easy for customers to use and configure to their individual needs. It is ideal for a variety of applications where space is limited. It is available with DIN rail, through hole, and sub base mounting options. Norgren 

TURBO PUMPS

High capacity

Designed as reliable, high capacity, high throughput turbo pumps, the products feature a combination of pumping speeds from 1,200 to 2,100 L/sec and throughput up to 2 standard L/min. They are ideal for high particulate processes in the semiconductor, glass, industrial coating, and R&D applications. All pumps use the same integrated controller with interchangeable peripherals and cables. Pfeiffer Vacuum Inc. 

CHECK VALVE

With low pressure drop

The company's check valves are designed to operate without the need for any adjustment or settings. They feature a straight-through design that causes them to have a lower pressure drop than any other check valve designs of the same size, according to the company. They feature all-plastic construction, so they will not stick, jam, or fail as a result of rust or corrosion. They are available to fit 4-, 6-, or 8-inch pipelines. Hayward Flow Control Systems 

VACUUM PUMPS

Oil-less design

Double-diaphragm Series 2207 vacuum pumps are designed for users requiring a long-lasting, smooth-operating vacuum pump that can tolerate moderately aggressive media. They are of oil-less design with permanently lubricated bearings and stainless-steel valves. Aluminum components are dichromate conversation treated. Ideal applications include vacuum hold-down devices, sawdust extraction, medical suction, and mild chemical mixing. Rietschle Thomas 

AIR CYLINDERS

Two stage

The company has released a proprietary product line of two-stage air cylinders; the second stage mounts entirely on the extension of the piston in the first stage for applications that require two independent axial forces operating in line on the same centerline. They are designed for a variety of applications, including medical, industrial, and aerospace. Mack Corp. 

SOLENOID VALVE

Operates without lubrication

Featuring an operating temperature range of -40 to 176F, the 98000 Series control valves are offered with an 8-mm orifice that fills a requirement within the harsh operating environments of the chemical and process industries. They operate without lubrication, and have been type tested to IEC 61508. They are certified to safety integrity level 4, and are available with a variety of protection class solenoids. Norgren
