Sealing Solutions
From elastomeric parts and seals to micro-miniature and custom solutions, today’s advanced medical procedures and treatments place rigorous requirements on medical equipment and devices. Seals and other parts in medical products are exposed to a wider range of chemical and temperature environments than ever before. Answering these requirements are medical grade elastomers featuring improved chemical resistors, excellent heat resistance, and low permeability to gas, such as:

  • Liquid silicone rubber (LSR) (-85°F to 400°F)
  • Silicone (85°F to 400°F)
  • Viton fluoroelastomer (FKM) (-13°F to 446°F)
  • Ethylene propylene (EPDM) (-60°F to 275°F)

Flow-Regulating Valves
Construction of Lee Flosert flow-regulating valves is entirely of corrosion-resistant materials that are compliant with NACE specification MR0175/ISO 15156. NACE-compliant Floserts provide a constant flow rate across a wide range of differential pressures up to 8,000psid. Available in regulated flow reverse directions, with regulated flow rates available from 0.01gpm to 5.00gpm, sizes range from 0.250" to 0.500" in diameter.

High Torque Density, Small Package Offering
DBH-0472 motors offer one of the better torque densities available in a miniaturized package. The high-technology motor uses Neo magnets in a magnetic circuit to deliver maximum power for applications. These are available packaged in a ruggedized housing/bearing structure and using a high temperature insulating scheme to offer environmental robustness. The design looks to fill the need for a small motor with exceptional direct drive performance.

Features:

  • High temperature
  • High torque density
  • Stainless steel shaft
  • Rear lead exits Benefits:
  • Ultra compact in size
  • Ruggedized construction
  • 90% efficiency
  • High dynamic response
  • Supports miniature assemblies

Diaphragm Pump in Micro Format

Touted as the smallest miniature diaphragm pump developed by the Thomas Division, the Series 1010 gas diaphragm pump weighs only 15g. The 1010’s overall performance delivers reliability, extremely low power consumption, and high power density. These properties, confirmed by comprehensive tests and 4,000 hours of non-stop operation, delivers a newly developed valve unit guaranteeing optimum delivery while enabling good controllability for volume flow rates ranging from 100ml/minute to 800ml/minute.

At present, durable, bell-type armature motors are used to drive the pump, and are particularly efficient and easy to control due to their ironless winding, even fulfilling operational requirements for ex-certified devices. A drive for less rigid requirements is currently in preparation.

Different diaphragm versions, optimized for vacuum only duty as well as combined pressure and vacuum use, are also available.

No Slippage
For motion control applications with extremely fast acceleration and deceleration – at dimensions ranging from 30mm to 600mm lengths, 2mm to 12mm rollers, endurance at 150 million cycles – is the NV type STUDROLLER. Guaranteeing zero slippage, with the anti-creep cage technology, the STUDROLLER‘s raceway depressions track’s nodules, preventing slippage in any position. Load capacities are increased 1.4 to 2.3 times from standard SV type.

Four-Axis Driver Plus Controller

Design of the EZ4AXIS is to allow the rapid implementation of multi-axis stepper motor solutions in products requiring automation. Measuring only 2.25" x 2.25" x 0.60" (57.00mm x 57.00mm x 15.00mm), the fully intelligent controller plus drivers run four fully independent stepper motors. Operating from a 9V to 30V supply, the controller regulates to any motor voltage via software command, e.g. a 3V motor can be run with 24V supply.

The EZStepper is also capable of stand-alone operation with no connection to a PC. It can be set to execute a preset string of commands upon power up (i.e., only power is required in this mode).

Precision Positioning Systems

A new motion controller for closed-loop precision positioning systems, the C-884, 4-axis digital servo controller, was designed to control motorized linear translation stages and rotary positioners with very high accuracy and repeatability. The high-speed encoder interface allows the use of the latest direct-metrology linear and angular scales, with resolutions down to the nanometer and microrad realm and below. The servo-positioning controller supports several motion profiles, including linear vector motion and point-to-point motion.
