Mechanical Seals, Induction Cap Sealing, Adhesive Sealant, Bung - Diaphragm Ferrofluidic Seal, Flange Gasket, O-Ring - Piston Ring, Hydrostatic, Labyrint Seal Mechanical Seals Manufacturing A MECHANICAL SEAL is a device which helps join systems or mechanisms together by preventing leakage, containing pressure, or excluding contamination. Mechanical seals can vary in their construction from a simple-O-Ring to complicated assembled structures containing lubricants inside labyrinth shaped canals and self-aligning functionality. Many types of mechanical seals are available. Some of our mechanical seals are available from stock and can be ordered by catalog part number, and on the other hand custom manufacturing option of mechanical seals is available for our customers. So we can design and manufacture mechanical seals specially for your application. The effectiveness of a seal is dependent on adhesion in the case of sealants and compression in the case of gaskets. Major MECHANICAL SEAL TYPES we offer are: Induction sealing or cap sealing, Adhesive sealant, Bridgman seal, a piston sealing mechanism that creates a high pressure reservoir from a lower pressure source, Bung, Coating, Compression seal fitting, Diaphragm seal, Ferrofluidic seal, Gasket or Mechanical Packing, Flange gasket, O-ring, V-ring, U-cup, Wedge, Bellows, D-ring, Delta rings, T-rings, Lobed ring, O-ring boss seal, Piston ring, Glass-ceramic-to-metal seals, Hose coupling, various types of hose couplings, Hermetic seal, Hydrostatic seal, Hydrodynamic seal, Labyrinth seal, a seal which creates a tortuous path for the liquid to flow through, Lid (container), Rotating face mechanical seal, Face seal, Plug, Radial shaft seal, Trap (siphon trap), Stuffing Box, Gland Assembly (mechanical packing), Split Mechanical Seal, Wiper seal, Dry gas seal, Exitex seal, Radial seal, Felt radial seal, Radial positive-contact seals, Clearance seals, Split-ring seal, Axial mechanical seal, End face seals, Molded packings, Lip-type and squeeze type packing, Static seals and sealants, Flat nonmetallic gaskets, Metallic gaskets, Exclusion seals (wiper, scraper, axial and boot seals) Our stocked mechanical seals include famous brands including Timken, AGS-TECH as well as other quality brands.

The type of lubricant and the mean operating temperature generally govern the choice of elastomer to be used for the mechanical seal compound. Nitrile rubber compounds are among the most widely used sealing materials because temperatures seldom exceed 220 F (105 C). Nitrile rubber has good wear characteristics, easy to mold and inexpensive sealing materials used in seals. For some seals special oil resistant silicone compounds are preferred. For high end applications fluoroelastomer compounds such as Viton are used in seals because they have a long life at very high temperatures in almost any lubricant. Seals incorporating fluoroelastomers are higher in cost however. At low temperatures fluoroelastomers get stiff but not brittle. CLICK Product Finder-Locator Service PREVIOUS PAGE

Plastic Rubber Metal Extrusions, Extrusion Dies, Aluminum Extruding, Pipe Tube Forming, Plastic Profiles, Metal Profiles Manufacturing, PVC at AGS-TECH Inc. Extrusions, Extruded Products, Extrudates We use the EXTRUSION process to manufacture products with a fixed cross sectional profile such as tubes, pipes and heat sinks. Even though many materials can be extruded, our most common extrusions are made of metal, polymers / plastic, ceramic obtained by either cold, warm or hot extrusion method. We call the extruded parts extrudate or extrudates if plural. Some specialized versions of the process we also perform are overjacketing, coextrusion and compound extrusion. We recommend that you click here to DOWNLOAD our Schematic Illustrations of Metal Ceramic and Plastic Extrusion Processes by AGS-TECH Inc. This will help you better understand the information we are providing you below. In extrusion material to be extruded is pushed or drawn through a die that has the desired cross-sectional profile. The process can be used to manufacture complex cross-sections with excellent surface finish and to work on brittle material. One can produce any length of parts using this process. To simplify the process steps: 1.) In warm or hot extrusions the material is heated and loaded into a container in the press. The material is pressed and pushed out of the die. 2.) Produced extrudate is is stretched for straightening, heat treated or cold worked for enhancing its properties. On the other hand COLD EXTRUSION takes place at around room temperature and has the advantages of less oxidation, high strength, closer tolerances, good surface finish and fastness. WARM EXTRUSION is performed above room temperature but below recrystallization point. It offers a compromise and balance for required forces, ductility and material properties and is therefore the choice for some applications. HOT EXTRUSION takes place above the material’s recrystallization temperature. This way it is easier to push the material through the die. However the equipment cost is high. The more complex an extruded profile, the more costly is the die (tooling) and the lower is the rate of production. The die cross sections as well as thicknesses have limitations that depend on the material to be extruded. Sharp corners in extrusion dies are always undesirable and to be avoided unless necessary. According to the material that is being extruded, we offer: • METAL EXTRUSIONS : Most common ones we produce are aluminum, brass, zinc, copper, steel, titanium, magnesium • PLASTIC EXTRUSION : Plastic is melted and formed into a continuous profile. Our common materials processed are polyethylene, nylon, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene, ABS plastic, polycarbonate, acrylic. Typical products we manufacture include pipes and tubing, plastic frames. In the process small plastic beads / resin is gravity fed from hopper into barrel of the extrusion machine. Frequently we also mix colorants or other additives into hopper to give the product the required specifications and properties. The material entering the heated barrel is forced by the rotating screw to leave the barrel at the end and move through the screen pack for removal of contaminants in the molten plastic. After passing the screen pack the plastic enters the extrusion die. The die gives the moving soft plastic its profile shape as it passes through. Now the extrudate goes through a water bath for cooling. Other techniques AGS-TECH Inc. has been using for many years are: • PIPE & TUBING EXTRUSION : Plastic pipes and tubes are formed when plastics is extruded through a round shaping die and cooled in a water bath, then cut to length or coiled / spooled. Clear or colored, striped, single or dual wall, flexible or rigid, PE, PP, polyurethane, PVC, nylon, PC, silicone, vinyl or else, we have it all. We have stocked tubes as well as the capability to produce according to your specifications. AGS-TECH manufactures tubing to FDA, UL, and LE requirements for medical, electric & electronic, industrial and other applications. • OVERJACKETING / OVER JACKETING EXTRUSION : This technique applies an outer layer of plastic onto existing wire or cable. Our insulation wires are manufactured with this method. • COEXTRUSION : Multiple layers of material are simultaneously extruded. The multiple layers are delivered by multiple extruders. The various layer thicknesses can be adjusted to meet customer specifications. This process makes it possible to use multiple polymers each having a different functionality in the product. As a result, one can optimize a range of properties. • COMPOUND EXTRUSION: A single or multiple polymers are mixed with additives to obtain a plastic compound. Our twin-screw extruders produce compounding extrusions. Extrusion dies are generally inexpensive compared to metal moulds. If you are paying much more than a few thousand dollars for a small or medium size extrusion die extruding aluminum, you are probably paying too much. We are experts in determining which technique is the most cost effective, fastest and most suitable for your application. Sometimes extruding and then machining a part can save you a lot of cash. Before making a firm decision, ask us our opinion first. We have helped many customers make the right decisions.

Our services range from rapid sheet metal prototyping to high volume manufacturing. We recommend that you click here to DOWNLOAD our Schematic Illustrations of Sheet Metal Fabrication and Stamping Processes by AGS-TECH Inc. This will help you better understand the information we are providing you below. • SHEET METAL CUTTING : We offer CUTOFFS and PARTINGS. Cutoffs cut the sheet metal over one path at a time and there is basically no waste of material, whereas with partings the shape cannot be nestled precisely and therefore certain amount of material is wasted. One of our most popular processes is PUNCHING, where a piece of material round or other shape is cut out from sheet metal. The piece that is cut out is waste. Another version of punching is SLOTTING, where rectangular or elongated holes are punched. BLANKING on the other hand is the same process as punching, with the distinction of the piece being cut out is the work and is kept. FINE BLANKING, a superior version of blanking, creates cuts with close tolerances and straight smooth edges and does not require secondary operations for perfection of the workpiece. Another process we frequently use is SLITTING, which is a shearing process where sheet metal is cut by two opposing circular blades in a straight or curved path. Can opener is a simple example of the slitting process. Another popular process for us is PERFORATING, where many holes round or other shape are punched in sheet metal in a certain pattern. A typical example for a perforated product is metal filters with many holes for fluids. In NOTCHING, another sheet metal cutting process, we remove material from a work piece, starting at the edge or elsewhere and cut inward until the desired shape is obtained. It is a progressive process where each operation removes another piece until the desired contour is obtained. For small production runs we sometimes use a relatively slower process called NIBBLING which consists of many rapid punches of overlapping holes to make a larger more complex cut. In PROGRESSIVE CUTTING we use a series of different operations to obtain a single cut or a certain geometry. Finally SHAVING a secondary process helps us to improve edges of cuts that have already been made. It is used for cutting off the chips, rough edges on sheet metal work. • SHEET METAL BENDING : Besides cutting, bending is an essential process without which we would not be able to produce most products. Mostly a cold working operation but sometimes also performed when warm or hot. We use dies and press most of the time for this operation. In PROGRESSIVE BENDING we use a series of different punch and die operations to obtain a single bend or a certain geometry. AGS-TECH uses a variety of bending processes and makes the choice depending on the workpiece material, its size, thickness, desired size of bend, radius, curvature and angle of bend, location of bend, economy of operation, quantities to be manufactured…etc. We use V-BENDING where a V shaped punch forces the sheet metal into the V shaped die and bends it. Good for both very acute and obtuse angles and in between, including 90 degrees. Using wiping dies we perform EDGE BENDING. Our equipment enables us to obtain angles even larger than 90 degrees. In edge bending the workpiece is sandwiched between a pressure pad and the die, the area for bending is located on the die edge and the rest of the workpiece is held over space like a cantilever beam. When the punch acts on the cantilever portion, it is bent over the edge of the die. FLANGING is an edge bending process resulting in a 90 degree angle. Main goals of the operation are the elimination of sharp edges and obtaining geometric surfaces to ease the joining of parts. BEADING, another common edge bending process forms a curl over a part’s edge. HEMMING on the other hand results with an edge of the sheet that is bent completely over on itself. In SEAMING, the edges of two parts are bent over on each other and joined. DOUBLE SEAMING on the other hand provides watertight and airtight sheet metal joints. Similar to edge bending, a process called ROTARY BENDING deploys a cylinder with the desired angle cut out and serving as the punch. As the force is transmitted to the punch, it closes with the workpiece. The groove of the cylinder gives the cantilever portion the desired angle. The groove can have an angle smaller or larger than 90 degrees. In AIR BENDING, we do not need the lower die to have an angled groove. The sheet metal is supported by two surfaces on opposite sides and at a certain distance. The punch then applies a force at the right location and bends the workpiece. CHANNEL BENDING is performed using a channel shaped punch and die, and U-BEND is achieved with a U-shaped punch. OFFSET BENDING produces offsets on the sheet metal. ROLL BENDING, a technique good for thick work and bending of large pieces of metal plates, uses three rolls to feed and bend the plates to desired curvatures. Rolls are arranged so that the desired bend of the work is obtained. The distance and angle between the rolls is controlled to obtain the desired outcome. A moveable roll makes it possible to control the curvature. TUBE FORMING is another popular sheet metal bending operation involving multiple dies. Tubes are obtained after multiple actions. CORRUGATION is also performed by bending operations. Basically it is the symmetrical bending at regular intervals across an entire piece of sheet metal. Various shapes can be used for corrugating. Corrugated sheet metal is more rigid and has better resistance against bending and therefore has applications in the construction industry. SHEET METAL ROLL FORMING, a continuous manufacturing process is deployed to bend cross sections of a certain geometry using rolls and the work is bent in sequential steps, with the final roll completing the work. In some cases a single roll and in some cases a series of rolls are employed. • COMBINED SHEET METAL CUTTING & BENDING PROCESSES : These are the processes that cut and bend at the same time. In PIERCING, a hole is createdusing a pointed punch. As the punchwidens the hole in the sheet, the material is bent simultaneously into an internal flange for the hole. The flange obtained may have important functions. The LANCING operation on the other hand cuts and bends the sheet to create a raised geometry. • METAL TUBE BULGING AND BENDING : In BULGING some internal part of a hollow tube is pressurized, causing the tube to bulge outward. Since the tube is inside a die, the bulge geometry is controlled by the shape of the die. In STRETCH BENDING, a metal tube is stretched using forces parallel to the tube’s axis and bending forces to pull the tube over a form block. In DRAW BENDING, we clamp the tube near its end to a rotating form block that bends the tube while rotating. Lastly, in COMPRESSION BENDING the tube is held by force to a fixed form block, and a die bends it over the form block. • DEEP DRAWING : In one of our most popular operations, a punch, a matching die and a blank holder are used. The sheet metal blank is placed over the die opening and the punch moves towards the blank held by the blank holder. Once they come into contact, the punch forces the sheet metal into the die cavity to form the product. Deep drawing operation resembles cutting, however the clearance between the punch and die prevents the sheet from being cut. Another factor assuring the sheet is deep drawn and not cut are the rounded corners on the die and punch which prevents the shearing and cutting. To achieve a greater magnitude of deep drawing, a REDRAWING process is being deployed where a subsequent deep drawing takes place on a part that has already undergone a deep drawing process. In REVERSE REDRAWING, the deep drawn part is flipped over and drawn in the opposite direction. Deep drawing can provide irregular shaped objects such as domed, tapered or stepped cups, In EMBOSSING we use a male and female die pair to impress the sheet metal with a design or script. • SPINNING : An operation where a flat or preformed workpiece is held between a rotating mandrel and tail stock and a tool applies localized pressure to the work as it gradually moves up the mandrel. As a result, the workpiece is wrapped over the mandrel and takes its shape. We use this technique as an alternative to deep drawing where the quantity of an order is small, the parts are large (diameters up to 20 feet) and have unique curves. Even though the per piece prices are generally higher, the set-up costs for CNC spinning operation are low compared to deep drawing. To the contrary, deep drawing requires high initial investment for set-up, but the per piece costs are low when high quantity of parts are produced. Another version of this process is SHEAR SPINNING, where there is also metal flow within the workpiece. The metal flow will reduce the thickness of the workpiece as the process is carried out. Yet another related process is TUBE SPINNING, which is applied on cylindirical parts. Also in this process there is metal flow within the workpiece. The thickness is thus reduced and the tube’s length is increased. The tool can be moved to create features on the inside or outside of the tube. • RUBBER FORMING OF SHEET METAL : Rubber or polyurethane material is put in a container die and the work piece is placed on the surface of the rubber. A punch is then acted upon the work piece and forces it into the rubber. Since the pressure generated by the rubber is low, the depth of parts produced is limited. Since tooling costs are low, the process is suitable for low quantity production. • HYDROFORMING : Similar to rubber forming, in this process sheet metal work is pressed by a punch into a pressurized liquid inside a chamber. The sheet metal work is sandwiched between the punch and a rubber diaphragm. The diaphragm surrounds the workpiece completely and the pressure of the fluid forces it to form on the punch. Very deep draws even deeper than in the deep drawing process can be obtained with this technique. We manufacture single-punch dies as well as progessive dies depending on your part. Single stroke stamping dies are a cost effective method for producing large quantities of simple sheet metal parts such as washers quickly. Progressive dies or the deep drawing technique are used for manufacturing more complex geometries. Depending on your case, waterjet, laser or plasma cutting can be used to produce your sheet metal parts inexpensively, fast and accurately. Many suppliers have no idea about these alternative techniques or do not have it and therefore they go through lengthy and expensive ways of making dies and tools that only waste customers time and money. If you require custom built sheet metal components such as enclosures, electronic housings...etc as fast as within days, then contact us for our RAPID SHEET METAL PROTOTYPING service.

Compressors & Pumps & Motors We offer off-the-shelf and custom manufactured COMPRESSORS, PUMPS and MOTORS for PNEUMATIC, HYDRAULIC and VACUUM APPLICATIONS. You can choose the products you need in our downloadable brochures or if you are unsure, you may describe us your needs and applications and we can offer you the suitable compressors, pumps and pneumatic & hydraulic motors. For some of our compressors, pumps and motors we are capable of making modifications and custom manufacture them to your applications. PNEUMATIC COMPRESSORS: Also called gas compressors, these are mechanical devices that increase the pressure of a gas by reducing its volume. Compressors supply air to a pneumatic system. An air compressor is a specific type of gas compressor. Compressors are similar to pumps, they both increase the pressure on a fluid and can transport the fluid through a pipe. Since gases are compressible, the compressor also reduces the volume of a gas. Liquids are relatively incompressible; while some can be compressed. The main action of a pump is to pressurize and transport liquids. Both piston and rotary screw version pneumatic compressors are available in many versions and suitable for any production activity. Mobile compressors, low- or high-pressure compressors, on-frame / vessel-mounted compressors: They are designed to meet intermittent compressed air demands. Our belt driven compressors are designed to deliver more air and higher pressures to increase the number of possible applications. Some of our belt driven two stage piston compressors have pre-installed and tank-mounted dryers. The silent range of pneumatic compressors are especially attractive for applications in closed areas or when many units need to be used. The small and compact yet powerful screw compressors are also among our popular products. The rotors of our pneumatic compressors are mounted on high quality low wear bearings. Pneumatic Variable Speed (CPVS) compressors allow users to save operating costs when the application does not require the compressors full capacity. Air-cooled compressors are designed for heavy duty installations and harsh conditions. Compressors can be categorized as: - Positive Type Displacement Compressors: These compressors operate by opening up a cavity to draw in air, and then make the cavity smaller to expel compressed air. Three designs of positive displacement compressors are common in industry: First one are the Reciprocating Compressors (single stage and two stage). As the crankshaft rotates, it causes the piston to reciprocate, alternately drawing in atmospheric air and pushing out compressed air. Piston compressors are popular in small and medium commercial applications. A single-stage compressor has only one piston connected to a crankshaft and can pressures up to 150 psi. On the other hand, two-stage compressors have two pistons of different sizes. The larger piston is called the first stage and the smaller one the second stage. Two-stage compressors can generate pressures higher than 150 psi. The second type are the Rotary Vane Compressors which have a rotor mounted off center to the housing. As the rotor spins, the vanes extend and retract to keep contact with the housing. At the inlet, the chambers between vanes increase in volume and create a vacuum to pull in the atmospheric air. When the chambers reach the outlet, their volume decreases. The air is compressed before being exhausted into the receiver tank. Rotary vane compressors produce up to 150 psi pressure. Lastly Rotary Screw Compressors have two shafts with the air seal-off contours that look similar to a screw. Air entering from the top on one end of the rotary screw compressors is exhausted out at the other end. At the location where the air enters the compressors, the volume of the chambers between the contours is large. As the screws turn and mesh, the volume of the chambers decreases and causes the air to be compressed before being exhausted into the receiver tank. - Non-Positive Type Displacement Compressors: These compressors operate by using an impeller to increase the velocity of the air. As the air enters into a diffuser, its pressure increases before the air goes into a receiver tank. Centrifugal compressors are an example. Multistage centrifugal compressor designs can generate high pressures by feeding the outlet air of a preceding stage to the inlet of the next stage. HYDRAULIC COMPRESSORS: Similar to pneumatic compressors, these are mechanical devices that increase the pressure of a liquid by reducing its volume. Hydraulic compressors are usually divided into four major groups: Piston Compressors, Rotary Vane Compressors, Rotary Screw Compressors and Gear Compressors. Rotary vane-models include also a cooled lubrication system, oil separator, relief valve on the air intake and automatic rotation speed valve. Rotary vane-models are the most suitable for installation on different excavators, mining and other machines. PNEUMATIC PUMPS: AGS-TECH Inc. offers a wide variety of Diaphragm Pumps and Piston Pumps for pneumatic applications. Piston pumps and Plunger Pumps are reciprocating pumps that use a plunger or piston to move media through a cylindrical chamber. The plunger or piston is actuated by a steam powered, pneumatic, hydraulic, or electric drive. Piston and plunger pumps are also called high viscosity pumps. Diaphragm pumps are positive displacement pumps in which the reciprocating piston is separated from the solution by a flexible diaphragm. This flexible membrane allows fluid movement. These pumps can handle many different types of fluids, even those with some solid material. Compressed air driven piston pumps use large area air-driven piston connected to small-area hydraulic piston, to convert compressed air into hydraulic power. Our pumps are designed to provide an economical, compact and portable source of hydraulic pressure. To size the right pump for your application contact us. HYDRAULIC PUMPS: A hydraulic pump is a mechanical source of power that converts mechanical power into hydraulic energy (i.e. flow, pressure). Hydraulic pumps are used in hydraulic drive systems. They can be hydrostatic or hydrodynamic. Hydraulic pumps generate flow with enough power to overcome pressure induced by the load at the pump outlet. Hydraulic pumps in operation create a vacuum at the pump inlet, forcing liquid from the reservoir into the inlet line to the pump and by mechanical action delivering this liquid to the pump outlet and forcing it into the hydraulic system. Hydrostatic pumps are positive displacement pumps while hydrodynamic pumps can be fixed displacement pumps, in which the displacement (flow through the pump per rotation of the pump) cannot be adjusted, or variable displacement pumps, which have a more complicated construction that allows the displacement to be adjusted. Hydrostatic pumps are of various types and work on the principle of Pascal's law. It states that the increase in pressure at one point of the enclosed liquid in equilibrium is transmitted equally to all other points of the liquid, unless the effect of gravity is neglected. A pump produces liquid movement or flow, and does not generate pressure. Pumps produce the flow necessary for the development of pressure which is a function of resistance to fluid flow in the system. As an example, the pressure of the fluid at the pump outlet is zero for a pump not connected to a system or load. On the other hand, for a pump delivering into a system, the pressure will rise only to the level necessary to overcome the resistance of the load. All pumps may be classified as either positive-displacement or non-positive-displacement. The majority of pumps used in hydraulic systems are positive-displacement. A Non-Positive-Displacement Pump produces a continuous flow. However, since it does not provide a positive internal seal against slippage, its output varies considerably as the pressure varies. Examples of non-positive-displacement pumps are centrifugal and propeller pumps. If the output port of a non-positive-displacement pump were blocked off, the pressure would rise, and output would decrease to zero. Although the pumping element would continue moving, flow would stop because of the slippage inside the pump. On the other hand, in aPositive-Displacement Pump, slippage is negligible compared to the pump's volumetric output flow. If the output port were plugged, pressure would increase instantaneously to the point that the pump's pumping elements or the pump’s case would fail, or the pump's prime mover would stall. A positive-displacement pump is one that displaces or delivers the same amount of liquid with each rotating cycle of the pumping element. Constant delivery during each cycle is possible because of the close-tolerance fit between the pumping elements and the pump case. This means, the amount of liquid that slips past the pumping element in a positive-displacement pump is minimal and negligible compared to the theoretical maximum possible delivery. In positive-displacement pumps the delivery per cycle remains almost constant, regardless of changes in pressure against which the pump is working. If fluid slippage is substantial, this means the pump is not operating properly and should be repaired or replaced. Positive-displacement pumps can be of either fixed or variable displacement type. The output of a fixed displacement pump remains constant at a given pump speed during each pumping cycle. The output of a variable displacement pump can be changed by altering the geometry of the displacement chamber. The term Hydrostatic is used for positive-displacement pumps and Hydrodynamic is used for non-positive-displacement pumps. Hydrostatic meaning that the pump converts mechanical energy to hydraulic energy with comparatively small quantity and velocity of liquid. On the other hand, in a hydrodynamic pump, liquid velocity and movement are large and output pressure depends on the velocity at which the liquid is made to flow. Here are the commercially available hydraulic pumps: - Reciprocating pumps: As the piston extends, the partial vacuum created in the pump chamber draws some liquid from the reservoir through the inlet check valve into the chamber. The partial vacuum helps seat the outlet check valve firmly. The volume of liquid drawn into the chamber is known because of the geometry of the pump case. As the piston retracts, the inlet check valve reseats, closing the valve, and the force of the piston unseats the outlet check valve, forcing liquid out of the pump and into the system. - Rotary pumps (external-gear pumps, lobe pump, screw pump, internal-gear pumps, vane pumps): In a rotary-type pump, rotary motion carries the liquid from the pump inlet to the pump outlet. Rotary pumps are usually classified according to the type of element that transmits the liquid. - Piston pumps (axial-piston pumps, inline-piston pumps, bent-axis pumps, radial-piston pumps, plunger pumps): The piston pump is a rotary unit which uses the principle of the reciprocating pump to produce fluid flow. Instead of using a single piston, these pumps have many piston-cylinder combinations. Part of the pump mechanism rotates about a drive shaft to generate the reciprocating motions, which draw fluid into each cylinder and then expels it, producing flow. Plunger pumps are somewhat similar to rotary piston pumps, in that pumping is the result of pistons reciprocating in cylinder bores. However, the cylinders are fixed in these pumps. Cylinders do not rotate around the drive shaft. Pistons may be reciprocated by a crankshaft, by eccentrics on a shaft, or by a wobble plate. VACUUM PUMPS: A vacuum pump is a device that removes gas molecules from a sealed volume in order to leave behind a partial vacuum. The mechanics of the pump design inherently dictate the pressure range at which the pump is able to operate. The vacuum industry recognizes the following pressure regimes: Coarse Vacuum: 760 - 1 Torr Rough Vacuum: 1 Torr – 10exp-3 Torr High Vacuum: 10exp-4 – 10exp-8 Torr Ultra High Vacuum: 10exp-9 – 10exp-12 Torr The transition from atmospheric pressure to the bottom of the UHV range (approx. 1 x 10exp-12 Torr) is a dynamic range of about 10exp+15 and beyond the capabilities of any single pump. Indeed, to get to any pressure below 10exp-4 Torr requires more than one pump. - Positive displacement pumps: These expand a cavity, seal, exhaust and repeat it. - Momentum transfer pumps (molecular pumps): These use high speed liquids or blades to knock gasses around. - Entrapment pumps (cryopumps): Create solids or adsorbed gases . In vacuum systems roughing pumps are used from atmospheric pressure down to rough vacuum (0.1 Pa, 1X10exp-3 Torr). Roughing pumps are necessary because turbo pumps have trouble starting from atmospheric pressure. Usually Rotary Vane Pumps are used for roughing. They may have oil or not. After roughing, if lower pressures (better vacuum) are needed, Turbomolecular Pumps are useful. Gas molecules interact with spinning blades and are preferentially forced downward. High vacuum (10exp-6 Pa) requires rotation of 20,000 to 90,000 revolutions per minute. Turbomolecular pumps generally work between 10exp-3 and 10exp-7 Torr Turbomolecular pumps are ineffective before gas is in “molecular flow”. PNEUMATIC MOTORS: Pneumatic motors, also called compressed air engines are types of motors which do mechanical work by expanding compressed air. Pneumatic motors generally convert the compressed air energy to mechanical work through either linear or rotary motion. Linear motion can come from a diaphragm or piston actuator, while rotary motion can come from either a vane type air motor, piston air motor, air turbine or gear type motor. Pneumatic motors have found widespread use in the hand-held tool industry for impact wrenches, pulse tools, screwdrivers, nut runners, drills, grinders, sanders, …etc, dentistry, medicine and a wide range of industrial applications. There are several advantages of pneumatic motors over electric tools. Pneumatic motors offer greater power density because a smaller pneumatic motor can provide the same amount of power as a larger electric motor. Pneumatic motors do not require an auxiliary speed controller which adds to their compactness, they generate less heat, and can be used in more volatile atmospheres because they do not require electric power, nor do they create sparks. They can be loaded to stop with full torque without damage.

Transmission Components, Belts, Chains and Cable Drives, Conventional & Grooved or Serrated, Positive Drive, Pulleys Belts & Chains & Cable Drive Assembly AGS-TECH Inc. offers you power transmission components including Belts & Chains & Cable Drive Assembly. With years of refinement, our rubber, leather and other belt drives have become lighter and more compact, capable of carrying higher loads at lower cost. Similarly, our chain drives have gone through much development over time and they offer our customers several advantages. Some advantages of using chain drives are their relatively unrestricted shaft center distances, compactness, ease of assembly, elasticity in tension without slip or creep, ability to operate in high-temperature environments. Our cable drives also offer advantages such as simplicity in some applications over other types of transmission components. Both off-shelf belt, chain and cable drives as well as custom fabricated and assembled versions are available. We can manufacture these transmission components to the right size for your application and from the most suitable materials. BELTS & BELT DRIVES: - Conventional Flat Belts: These are plain flat belts without teeth, grooves or serrations. Flat belt drives offer flexibility, good shock absorption, efficient power transmission at high speeds, abrasion resistance, low cost. Belts can be spliced or connected to make larger belts. Other advantages of conventional flat belts are they are thin, they are not subject to high centrifugal loads (makes them good for high speed operations with small pulleys). On the other hand they impose high bearing loads because flat belts require high tension. Other disadvantages of flat belt drives can be slipping, noisy operation, and relatively lower efficiencies at low and moderate speeds of operation. We have two types of conventional belts: Reinforced and Non-Reinforced. Reinforced belts have a tensile member in their structure. Conventional flat belts are available as leather, rubberized fabric or cord, non-reinforced rubber or plastic, fabric, reinforced leather. Leather belts offer long life, flexibility, excellent coefficient of friction, easy repair. However leather belts are relatively expensive, need belt dressing and cleaning, and depending on the atmosphere they may shrink or stretch. Rubberized fabric or cord belts are resistant to moisture, acid and alkalis. Rubberized fabric belts are made up of plies of cotton or synthetic duck impregnated with rubber and are the most economical. Rubberized cord belts consist of a series of plies of rubber-impregnated cords. Rubberized cord belts offer high tensile strength and modest size and mass. Non-reinforced rubber or plastic belts are fit for light-duty, low-speed drive applications. Non-reinforced rubber and plastic belts can be stretched into place over their pulleys. Plastic non-reinforced belts can transmit higher power as compared to rubber belts. Reinforced leather belts consist of a plastic tensile member sandwiched between leather top and bottom layers. Finally, our fabric belts may consist of a single piece of cotton or duck folded and sewn with rows of longitudinal stitches. Fabric belts are able to track uniformly and operate at high speed. - Grooved or Serrated Belts (such as V-Belts): These are basic flat belts modified to provide the advantages of another type of transmission product. These are flat belts with a longitudinally ribbed underside. Poly-V belts are longitudinally grooved or serrated flat belt with tensile section and a series of adjacent V-shaped grooves for tracking and compression purposes. Power capacity depends on belt width. V-belt is the workhorse of industry and are available in a variety of standardized sizes and types for transmission of almost any load power. V-belt drives operate well between 1500 to 6000 ft/min, however narrow V-belts will operate up to 10,000 ft/min. V-belt drives offer long life such as 3 to 5 years and allow large speed ratios, they are easy to install and remove, offer quiet operation, low maintenance, good shock absorption between belt driver and driven shafts. V-belts disadvantage is their certain slip and creep and therefore they may not be the best solution where synchronous speeds are required. We have industrial, automotive and agricultural belts. Stocked standard lengths as well as custom lengths of belts are available. All standard V-belt cross sections are available from stock. There are tables where you can calculate unknown parameters such as belt length, belt section (width & thickness) provided you know some parameters of your system such as driving and driven pulley diameters, center distance between pulleys and rotational speeds of the pulleys. You may use such tables or ask us to choose the right V-belt for you. - Positive Drive Belts (Timing Belt): These belts are also flat type with a series of evenly spaced teeth on the inside circumference. Positive drive or timing belts combine the advantages of flat belts with the positive-grip characteristics of chains and gears. Positive drive belts reveal no slippage or speed variations. A wide range of speed ratios is possible. Bearing loads are low because they can operate at low tension. They are however more susceptible to misalignments in pulleys. - Pulleys, Sheaves, Hubs for Belts: Different types of pulleys are used with flat, ribbed (serrated) and positive drive belts. We do manufacture them all. Most of our flat belt pulleys are made by casting of iron, but steel versions are also available in various rim and hub combinations. Our flat-belt pulleys may have solid, spoked or split hubs or we can manufacture as you desire. Ribbed and positive-drive belts are available in a variety of stock sizes and widths. At least one pulley in timing-belt drives must be flanged to keep the belt on the drive. For long center drive systems, it is recommended to have both pulleys flanged. Sheaves are the grooved wheels of pulleys and are generally manufactured by iron casting, steel forming or plastic moulding. Steel forming is suitable process to manufacture automotive and agricultural sheaves. We produce sheaves with regular and deep grooves. Deep-groove sheaves are well suitable when V-belt enters the sheave at an angle, such as is the case in quarter-turn drives. Deep grooves are also well suited for vertical-shaft drives and applications where vibration of belts can be a problem. Our idler pulleys are grooved sheaves or flat pulleys that do not serve transmitting mechanical power. Idler pulleys are used mostly for tightening belts. - Single and Multiple Belt Drives: Single belt drives have a single groove whereas multiple belt drives have multiple grooves.

Here are the major types of our chains: - Detachable Chains: Our detachable chains are made in a range of sizes, pitch and ultimate strength and generally from malleable iron or steel. Malleable chains are made in a range of sizes from 0.902 (23 mm) to 4.063 inch (103 mm) pitch and ultimate strength from 700 to 17,000 lb/square inch. Our detachable steel chains on the other hand are made in sizes from 0.904 inch (23 mm) to about 3.00 inch (76 mm) in pitch, with ultimate strength from 760 to 5000 lb/square inch. - Pintle Chains: These chains are used for heavier loads and slightly higher speeds to about 450 feet/min (2.2 m/sec). Pintle chains are made of individual cast links having full, round barrel end with offset sidebars. These chain links are intercoupled with steel pins. These chains range in pitch from about 1.00 inch (25 mm) to 6.00 inch (150 mm) and ultimate strengths between 3600 to 30,000 lb/square inch. - Offset-Sidebar Chains: These are popular in drive chains of construction machinery. These chains work at speeds to 1000 ft/min and transmit loads to about 250 hp. Generally each link has two offset sidebars, one bushing, one roller, one pin, a cotter pin. - Roller Chains: They are available in pitches from 0.25 (6 mm) to 3.00 (75 mm) inch. The ultimate strength of single-width roller chains range between 925 to 130,000 lb/square inch. Multiple-width versions of roller chains are available and transmit greater power at higher speeds. Multiple-width roller chains also offer smoother action with reduced noise. Roller chains are assembled from roller links and pin links. Cotter pins are used in detachable version roller chains. The design of roller chain drives requires subject expertise. Whereas belt drives are based on linear speeds, chain drives are based on the rotational speed of the smaller sprocket, which is in most installations the driven member. Besides horsepower ratings and rotational speed, the design of chain drives is based on many other factors. - Double-Pitch Chains: Basically the same as roller chains except that the pitch is twice as long. - Inverted Tooth (Silent) Chains: High speed chains used mostly for prime mover, power-takeoff drives. Inverted tooth chain drives can transmit powers up to 1200 hp and are made up of a series of tooth links, alternately assembled with either pins or a combination of joint components. Center-guide chain has guide links to engage grooves in the sprocket, and the side-guide chain has guides to engage the sides of the sprocket. - Bead or Slider Chains: These chains are used for slow speed drives and also in manual operations. By clicking the relevant colored text below you can download our catalogs: - Driving Chains - Conveyor Chains - Large Pitch Conveyor Chains - Stainless Steel Roller Chains - Hoisting Chains - Motorcycle Chains - Agricultural Machine Chains - Sprockets: Our standard sprockets conform to ANSI standards. Plate sprockets are flat, hubless sprockets. Our small and medium-size hub sprockets are turned from bar stock or forgings or made by welding a bar-stock hub to a hot-rolled plate. AGS-TECH Inc. can supply sprockets machined from gray-iron castings, cast steel and welded hub constructions, sintered powder metal, molded or machined plastics. For smooth operation at high speeds, proper selection of size of sprockets is essential. Space limitations is of course a factor we cannot ignore when choosing a sprocket. It is recommended that the ratio of driver to driven sprockets should be no more than 6:1, and the chain wrap on the driver is 120 degrees. Center distances between the smaller and larger sprockets, chain lengths and chain tension must also be chosen according to some recommended engineering calculations & guidelines and not randomly.

Cable drives can accomplish the same function as belts and may also be simpler and more economic to implement in some applications. For example, a new series of Synchromesh Cable Drives are designed for positive traction to replace conventional ropes, simple cables and cog drives, especially in tight spaces. The new cable drive is designed to provide high precision positioning in electronic equipment such as copying machines, plotters, typewriters, printers,….. etc. A key feature of the new cable drive is its ability to be used in 3D serpentine configurations which enable extremely miniature designs. Synchromesh cables can be used with lower tension when compared with ropes thus reducing power consumption. Contact AGS-TECH for questions and opinion on belts, chain and cable drives.
