Miniature diaphragm pumps have had their performance and operational life limited by standard elastomer mechanical properties and DC Brushless motor designs. As fluidic system developers have demanded smaller component envelopes, diaphragm pumps have incurred increased challenges to increase performance and life requirements.
Hargraves Technology, www.hargravesfluidics.com, a global leader in advanced fluidic technologies and system solutions, has achieved breakthrough advances in diaphragm elastomers and brushless DC motor components. The Hargraves BTC, CTS and LTC series of miniature diaphragm pumps offer a series of brushless DC motor driven pumps, vacuum pumps and compressors to handle air, gases and several liquid applications. The BTC-IIS Series' innovative design offers the highest performance in the smallest package size available. This diaphragm pump series uses a proprietary advanced diaphragm elastomer (AEPDM) and superior brushless motor design to set the highest benchmark for service-free miniature diaphragm pump operation that exceeds 20,000 hours.
Current diaphragm elastomers are limited to only a few thousand hours since they are unable to withstand the increased temperatures and demanding mechanical stresses. As a result, it is common for diaphragm pump manufacturers to require replacement kits to extend life. The proven track of 'service free' performance reduces the overall costs for an OEM's product. The innovative and efficient engineering design enables the Hargraves series of micro and miniature diaphragm pumps and compressors to push the performance envelope in a lightweight, compact size achieving the highest performance/size ratio of current technology miniature diaphragm pumps and compressors.
The selection of advanced materials and innovative elastomer diaphragm geometries facilitates the Hargraves miniature diaphragm pumps to operate in increased temperature environments up to 70°C. The optimized pump head, chamber and flow path reduce noise without compromising performance.
