After extensive design, development, and testing, Flight Works launches the M-Series, a family of magnetically-coupled micro gear pumps adding a level of quality, reliability, and performance capabilities to the Flight Works product line.
Originally envisioned as a solution for long-life pumping applications, the magnetic drive series offers several other improvements over the standard sealed gear pump, including:
- Extended run time capabilities due to the elimination of a dynamic seal AND the reduction of side load on motor bearings
- Highly reduced risk of leaks, especially under extreme operating conditions
- Elimination of risks of fluid contamination from dynamic seal abrasion
- Expanded fluid and environmental compatibility, including extreme temperatures (both hot and cold)
- Design permits easy replacement of pump section in the field
- Increased differential pressure capabilities, over the 20 bar (300 psi) threshold of dynamically sealed pumps
- Increased maximum allowable pressures (600 psi and higher depending on fluids and configurations)
