Micropump’s I-Drive electromagnetic drive is available in the UK through, liquids handling specialists Michael Smith Engineers. The compact design includes a brushless dc motor with no moving parts and an electronic controller. These drives, when combined with Micropump pumpheads, deliver smooth pulse-less flows of up to 5 litre/min at maximum differential pressures of up to 5.6 bar.
Thanks to it’s variable speed operation and outstanding chemical capability, the I-Drive pump offers optimum design flexibility for a wide range of OEM liquids handling applications. The unit features Neodymium magnets to increase motor torque capability and reduce total unit size. A closed loop speed control allows for quick and easy setting of speed, while the simplicity of the built-in speed control and tachometer output enables easy integration into PLC or PC controlled machines or end-user installations.
The electromagnetic drive and static seals keep the pumped fluid securely inside the pump and potential external contaminants out, whilst providing smooth, accurate fluid delivery. The I-Drive is available with an extensive range of wetted material options to ensure compatibility with a wide range of chemicals, it is CE, LVD and EMC approved and the enclosure is IP55 rated.
