Miniature dispense pumps
Lee Products has designed a new range of miniature dispense pumps designed to meet the increasing demand for machine components, which need to be smaller and as precise.
The pumps are available in three types, high and standard performance LPV models, along with LPL solenoid pumps, in a range of full stroke volumes from 50 µL to 3000 µL. These pumps combine a compact, lightweight design, with low power consumption so, Lee Products claims, they can be located wherever fluidic requirements dictate, regardless of maintenance accessibility.
According to the company, they are designed for consistent, repeatable performance, with a CV as low as 0.04% at full stroke and volume resolution as small as 0.04 µL. With the use of chemically inert construction materials, Lee pumps are, reportedly, maintenance-free, providing users with an operating life of 5,000,000 cycles minimum.
The range provides engineers with optimum flexibility as the high performance LPV models combine speed, size and accuracy with small dispense volumes from 0.04 up to 1.0 µL and pressures to 95 psi. The standard LPV models offer the same reliability on a smaller scale, with dispense volumes from 0.01 up to 1.5 µL and pressures to 15 psi, while the LPL solenoid models enable fixed volume dispensing from 50 up to 130 µL (depending on configuration).
