Viking Pump - debuts in-line gear reducers - Brief Article

Caption: Viking Pump has expanded its gear reducer product line to include a new series of in-line gear reducers compatible with any positive displacement pump or other equipment needing speed reduction. The company says the new gear reducers have the input and output shaft on the same center line for easy alignment and maximum space savings. All gear reducers in die new series offer double reduction high efficiency and low noise levels. The gear reducers are available in ten different sizes. In addition to the new series of in-line gear reducers, Viking has offered parallel shaft single-reduction gear reducers for in ore than 40 years For further information an the new in-line gear reducers,

Gear-Tooth Sensors include integrated filter capacitor

AC-coupled, Hall-effect gear-tooth sensors, Models A1421LK, A1422LK, and A1423LK feature monolithic integrated circuits that switch in response to changing differential magnetic fields created by moving ring magnet or by ferrous target when back-biased with magnet. On-board regulator permits operation with supply voltages of 4.0-26.5 V. Units are suited for speed, position, and timing applications such as transmission and engine management.

Improvements include integrated capacitor, smaller package size

Worcester, MA - June 8, 2005 - Allegro MicroSystems, Inc. announces the release of the A1421LK, A1422LK, and A1423LK, improved additions to Allegro's family of AC-coupled Hall-effect gear-tooth sensors. Improvements include a smaller package size and an integrated filter capacitor to provide additional reliability to the system solution.

The A1421LK, A1422LK, and A1423LK are AC-coupled Hall-effect gear-tooth sensors with monolithic integrated circuits that switch in response to changing differential magnetic fields created by a moving ring magnet or by a ferrous target when back-biased with a magnet. These devices are ideal for use in speed, position and timing applications such as transmission and engine management. This family of devices also includes an integrated filter capacitor so a high-accuracy analog solution can be achieved without additional external components, thus improving reliability for the final sensing solution.

Bevel Gear Operators suit power industry valve applications

Designed to handle seating and unseating force of high-pressure gate and globe valves found in power plants, MT Series is available in torque ranges to 8,000 lb-ft and thrust ranges to 325,000 lb. With ductile iron bevel gears and thrust base housings, units withstand elevated process temperatures. Operator stem nut is shouldered in drive sleeve to capture thrust forces within thrust housing without transferring forces to torque housing.

Product line optimized to deliver reliable performance in power industry valve applications

DALLAS - September 29, 2005 - Flowserve Corp., a global provider of fluid motion and control products and services, announces the launch of the Limitorque Actuation Systems MT series of bevel gear operators. The MT series operators are optimized to deliver reliable performance in power industry valve applications.

Designed as a superior combination of a bevel gear operator torque housing with a new thrust base design, the MT series is ideally suited for torque-seated valve applications and applications involving elevated process temperatures. MT series bevel gears and thrust base housings are made of ductile iron.
The MT series features robust thrust bearings and drive sleeve/stem nut design. These combine to offer the most rugged bevel gear operator available for handling the seating and unseating forces of high-pressure gate and globe valves found in power plants around the world. The MT operator stem nut is shouldered in the drive sleeve to capture thrust forces within the thrust housing without transferring those forces to the torque housing.

Available in torque ranges to 8,000 ft-lb and thrust ranges to 325,000 lb., the MT series provides high efficiency and strong design for every application. When motorized by the Limitorque MX, SMB or L120 series electric actuators, the MT series offers flexibility for a wide range of valve opening and closing times.

"With the MT series, Flowserve once again leads the market with its product offerings for the power industry," says Earnest Carey, manager, product management, Flowserve Flow Control, Limitorque Actuation Systems. "Backed by our unsurpassed sales and service support, the MT series is further evidence of Flowserve's unwavering commitment to deliver the technology needed for reliable power plant valve operation today and in the years to come."
