Pump elements in stainless steel and bronze

A Lee Products product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Apr 20, 2006

Pump elements for in-house designed pumps, providing engineers with the benefits of reduced tooling and set-up costs, are available to suit many OEM applications

Custom-designed Gerotor pump elements for in-house designed pumps, providing engineers with the benefits of reduced tooling and set-up costs, are available from Lee Products.

In many OEM applications design flexibility is crucial, so the facility for engineers to source individual components and elements, rather than being limited by the constraints of standard components, can be beneficial.

These internal lobe pump elements are made using a wire EDM (electrical discharge machine) process, as opposed to the traditional broaching method.

This process cuts conductive materials cleanly and efficiently without physical contact using a thin electrode to an accuracy of +/-2.5um without burrs.

This process is suitable for delicate parts and, as no tooling is required, reduces set-up costs and the time required to produce initial prototypes.

OEM applications include lube and scavenge pumps for aircraft engines and transmission systems, fuel metering and transfer pumps, avionics cooling, marine and industrial gas turbines, military vehicle transmissions, racing and rally cars, hydraulic power equipment and chemical metering pumps.

They are available in stainless steel and bronze with widths from 2.45 to 28.45mm and diameters from 20.32 to 91.44mm.
