pumps are air driven at a drive air pressure of 2 to 10bar (29 to145 psi) by the normal air compressor. Basically the principle of operation is similar to a reciprocating amplifier where control of the piston at the end position is regulated by a pilot operated 4/2 way valve.
pumps feature a large air piston joint to a smaller diameter plunger. The pressure ratio is the difference of these two areas and is the method of determining maximum outlet pressure. Higher pressures obtained by using higher pressure ratios. model numbers reflect the pumps nominal pressure ratios while the technical data indicates exact ratios. The outlet pressure is easily to set through a simple air regulator. By multiplying the pressure ratio by the available shop air pressure, the nominal outlet pressure can be calculated.
