Fluid-handling or transfer devices are not basically concerned with the modulation or transfer of power, but only with the movement of fluid. Two major types of fluid-transfer pumps are ...

TORONTO — Armstrong Fluid Technology has announced its Design Envelope pumps with permanent magnet motors are now available, NEMA 4X/IP66-rated, for outdoor installation. Featuring advanced ...

The key difference between solenoid pumps and Fluid Metering pumps lies in their operating mechanisms. Solenoid pumps are driven by an electromagnet made up of a copper wire coil wrapped around a ...

Industrial, environmental, and medical devices rely on pumps for a wide range of applications. Among the many pump types available, piston pumps and peristaltic pumps are frequently compared due to ...

Converting mechanical energy to fluid form provides the "muscle" in a fluid-power system. The power source is the key element in a fluid-power system. In a pneumatic system the power source is an air ...

The technology involved in coal mining around the world has advanced a great deal over the years, especially in terms of improving the health and safety of the miners. At the same time mining ...

A company’s manual, semiautomated, and robotic fluid-measuring syringe pumps are self-contained fluid-dispensing subsystems that are customized for OEM systems, with 30- and 60-mm stroke lengths. A ...

Over the last several years, Northwestern Engineering’s Wesley Burghardt expanded the content in his CHEM_ENG 321: Fluid Mechanics course to emphasize the practical aspects about how fluid pumps work.

Soft robots have received much attention recently due to their adaptability and safety. However, the fluidic systems used in these robots continue to use pumps that are large, heavy, and noisy. Now, ...

Self-powered nano- and micropumps that precisely control flow rate in response to external stimuli are critical to the design of the next generation of smart devices. Ideally, the pump should enable ...
