Straight talk on WOBBLE-PISTON PUMPS

摘要

No single type of air compressor or vacuum pump works best across the board. But wobble-piston pumps represent what is arguably the most versatile pressure and vacuum technology on the market today. Wobble pumps combine the pressure, vacuum, and flow capabilities of conventional piston pumps with the compact size, quiet operation, and clean airflow of diaphragm pumps. Plus they are more efficient and simpler to manufacture than either piston or diaphragm versions. This combination of features lets wobble technology capture a large share of the pressure and vacuum market in many different industries. For instance, wobble pumps are found in medical nebulizers, oxygen concentrators, blood analyzers, and pneumatic hospital beds. Laboratory devices that take advantage of this design include water aspirators, vacuum filters, mass spectrometers, and gas analyzers. On vehicles they are used with air-operated suspensions, seats, horns, and clutches. And they are a key component in vending and business machines, environmental and safety devices, printing equipment, and many industrial applications.
