✦ Synopsis

Improved pump monitoring unit launched

Gear pumps made of thermoplastic

Colfax Corporation has expanded its SmartSense intelligent pump monitoring line to include the SmartSense Pulse.

The monitoring unit measures 2.4 in by 1.6 in by 1.3 in, allowing it to fit near the bearing on a pump to gauge temperature and vibration. It features LEDs on the unit that indicate pump performance and provide preventive maintenance alerts when needed. "Colfax' s SmartSense Pulse is designed to enable a level of monitoring that would otherwise require more staff and diagnostic equipment, which would be expensive and impractical, " said Dan Yin, Ph.D., an electronics engineer with Colfax.
