Medo Pump Technology
The Linear-motor-driven Free Piston System (Pat.) has an internal
piston inside the cylinder which is driven by an electro-magnet and
spring system controlled by the alternating input current cycle. The
piston thus forms a single combined structure of two usually different
devices; motor and pump. The system is quiet and vibration free, and
offers the advantages of easy maintenance and a long operating life.
Linear Pump Operating Principle
The activated electro-magnet attracts the piston against the return
spring, while air is taken into the cylinder through the opened inlet
valve.
When the electro-magnet is deactivated, the return spring pushes the
piston back, and the compressed air is brought out of the cylinder
through the now open outlet valve. The system can function as either an
air compressor or as a vacuum pump.
Fewer Components
The pump's unique and simple structure has no complicated transmission
mechanism such as a crankshaft, connecting rods, ball bearings, etc.,
which are widely used in between the motor and compressor in
conventional pumps.
