Couplings are manufactured with RoHS compliant materials

From ThomasNet: New CD Couplings® from Zero-Max are an ideal choice for use with fixed displacement hydraulic pumps driven by servo motors. CD Couplings provide the ideal combination of high dynamic load capacity and high torsional stiffness to ensure reliable system operation.

"This new pump drive technology has become increasingly popular because of dramatic improvements in their energy efficiency and noise reduction", reports Robert Mainz, Zero-Max sales manager. "These pump systems utilize the power and precision that only a servo motor can provide. The system pressure is controlled by modulating the output volume of a fixed displacement pump. This is made possible utilizing a high performance control system and the high performance qualities of a CD shaft coupling."

Customized Solutions: KNF Corrosion-Resistant Diaphragm Process Pumps

From ThomasNet: KNF corrosion-resistant diaphragm process pumps provide ideal solutions for sampling, transferring, evacuating, or compressing aggressive gases in a wide range of challenging industrial applications. These electrically operated and oil-free pumps deliver reliable and contamination-free performance and can be customized with a variety of available materials, motor types, and configurations to suit unique specifications.

KNF corrosion-resistant process pumps combine high-grade steels and solid PTFE (or other inert materials for the wetted head portion) with a laminated layer of corrosion-resistant material over the diaphragm. Such a combination imparts the desired resistance to corrosion and contributes mechanical and thermal resistance, high tensile strength, and resistance to pressure. The integration of laminated PTFE additionally promotes increased pump flexibility and longer service life.
