At the heart of our diaphragm pumps is the diaphragm, which moves media with precision, prevents contamination and provides excellent sealing. When handling gaseous media, diaphragm pumps are resistant to moisture and condensate. Used as liquid pumps, they are self-priming and dry run safe. These characteristics combine to make diaphragm pumps both versatile and reliable.

The gear pumps are used for transferring liquids across different industrial applications and can be used to transfer different types of liquids that have different viscosity and need to be maintained at different temperatures using these technologically advanced gear pumps. These gear pumps can transfer liquids from the inlet of the pump to the outlet of the pump using two or more than two gears placed inside the pump that can trap the liquid between the rotating gears and in the process of doing that the pump can push the liquid towards the outlet of the gear pump to complete the transfer efficiently.

As discussed in the overview of positive displacement pumps, fixed displacement, regardless of outlet pressure, is only theoretical. Material flex, internal leakage (“blow-by”), wear, and other variables result in varying amounts of pressure dependence. Here we will look at the details of internal leakage.

Traditional external gear pumps utilize a motor shaft which is directly coupled to a driving gear within the pump. To make this coupling, the shaft must pass through a sliding seal. The typical life-limiting component in a direct drive pump is the seal. Regardless of seal type and quality, the seal will wear and eventually leak. Magnetically coupled gear pumps avoid the life-limiting seal by using a magnetic coupling to transfer torque into the pump. This establishes a hermetic seal while still coupling the motor to the driving gear.

Positive displacement pumps move fixed volumes of fluid mechanically through a system. Therefore, one might conclude that fluid viscosity has little effect on the output of the pump. This, however, is a misconception and can lead to severe issues in a hydraulic system unless the effects of viscosity are well understood, and the system designer properly communicates the information to the pump engineers.

Positive displacement pumps move entrapped volumes of fluid mechanically through the system. On the intake (suction) side, the volume expands, while on the outlet (discharge) side, the volume contracts. The volume per revolution is therefore fixed and theoretically constant regardless of outlet pressure, inlet vacuum or fluid properties. Positive displacement pumps are also self-priming, creating strong vacuums on the inlet. This can simplify the overall system design and allow maintenance without manual re-priming.

Pumps are an integral part of many industrial processes. They are used for a variety of purposes such as transferring fluids, controlling pressure, and maintaining flow. However, one of the most common problems that arise with pumps is cavitation. Cavitation can be a major problem that can cause damage to the pump, increase maintenance costs, and reduce overall efficiency. In this blog, we will explore the definition of pump cavitation, its impact on the economy, and the solutions available to avoid it. We will also take a look at how to identify cavitation and how to prevent it from happening.
