Greater Performance in a Smaller Package

This innovative design utilizes several unique features, including over-molded NdFeB magnets, next-generation surface mount technology, and an enhanced heat-sink, all of which lead to a smaller, more reliable, and better performing drive and pump/drive assembly.

The new I-Drive ^® combines a pumphead, a brushless DC motor, and an electronic controller into a single, compact unit that provides outstanding functionality and delivers smooth, pulseless flow. In this unique patented design, the 40W or 70W motor drives the pump electromagnetically, eliminating all physical contact with the motor. This means that there are absolutely no moving parts in the drive unit, leading to outstanding service life. The thermal and overload protected electronic controller provides variable speed drive options of 0-5 VDC, 4-20 mA remote control signal, or local manual control. Mounting options include a motor flange attachment or a removable bracket.

Available in standard or custom OEM configurations, the I-Drive^® has a flow rate up to 3.2 L/min (0.85 gpm) and can handle a maximum differential pressure of 7 bar (100 psi). The simplicity of the built-in speed control and the tachometer output signal allows easy integration into PLC- or PC-controlled machines or end user installations. The I-Drive carries CE, LVD, EMC, and UL safety approvals; the enclosure is IP55 rated.
