| Unique Beswick mini Pressure Regulator  Unique Beswick mini Pressure Regulator. A Design News "Product of the Year" finalist. Force = Pressure x Area. The Challenge: You need a pressure regulator with excellent performance and it also has to be miniature because you have limited space for it in your product. The regulator must have the ability to control low output pressures (under 5 psi), have low mass, and be corrosion resistant. On a related note, you have been noticing an increasing number of gray hairs since your boss assigned you this project. Possible Approaches: You've talked to a few fluid power companies about a custom regulator designed specifically for your application but that approach will be expensive and therefore is unlikely to meet the cost targets. Another option is to specify an inexpensive regulator that is not fully suited to this application. It is easy to find inexpensive regulators however you know these will likely result in long term problems including downstream pressure spikes, excessive size, weight, and performance issues. To make matters worse, your family asks you why you are grumpy each night when you come home from work. The Solution: The Beswick PRDB-2N6 miniature pressure regulator, with high resolution diaphragm cap (this link describes the unique high resolution diaphragm cap and large sensing area), is the solution to your design challenge. It is a finalist in Design News magazine's Golden Mousetrap awards. The PRDB-2N6 can accurately sense (Force = Pressure x Area) even low pressures below 5 psi because it has a 1.875 inch diaphragm, which is relatively large compared to the small size of the regulator, along with a patented valve design for high performance. A unique spring configuration minimizes height to only 0.83 inch. Weight is a mere 78 grams. That evening, with a spring in your step, you head off the grocery store where you run into an old high school friend. She compliments you on your youthful appearance. The PRDB-2N6 can be ordered in brass, 303 stainless steel, or 316 stainless steel. Optional elastomers are offered to handle a wide range of fluids and temperature extremes. write your comments about the article :: © 2015 Construction News :: home page |
