D & 1- SERIES AIR OPERATED LIQUID PUMPS

PRESSURE RATIO OLD & NEW PART NUMBERS In the mid 199 s with the advent of a new inventory and computer system, SC Hydraulic Engineering was forced to change the part numbering system for better control and understanding. Prior to that time, a typical part number stated the basic series number, a ratio reference number, and a suffix if there were any modifications. Typically, a call out might be 1--1. or perhaps 1--BA. The biggest change, and where some confusion may occur, is in the pressure ratio model call out for the various sizes available. The chart below can be used as an aid in determining the correct number. Take careful note to similar call outs such as. (now ) and (now ). At the time of the change, it was decided that all new products would use actual pressure ratios for hydraulic section call outs. Hence, with the D and D Series the model suffix is just that. Note however, the actual physical size of the unit is identical to the 1 Series model. Additional changes of the part numbers from the old model numbers and the new numbers are shown on the How to Order Table. 1- SERIES 1- & D SERIES 1- & D SERIES HYDRAULIC SECTION MODEL HYDRAULIC SECTION MODEL HYDRAULIC SECTION MODEL OLD NEW RATIO OLD NEW D / RATIO OLD NEW D / RATIO. 3. 3.3QR 3. 1. 1.QR 1 1 1 1. 7 1 1 1 1. 1 3 1 1 1. 1 3 1. 1 3 3 3 1.7 18 3 3 3 1 3 9 8 8 1 3 3 8 8 1 1. 1 7 1 1 18. 8 1 11 1 1 33 8 8 1 3 31 1 1 19 7 1 1 8 3 3

NO OTHER PUMPS OFFER ALL THESE ADVANTAGES Simple operating principle SC air operated hydraulic pumps operate on the simple but efficient principle of pressure intensification through the use of differential areas. Fulfilling Boyle s Law, a larger airdriven piston delivers pressure to a proportionally lesser diameter hydraulic piston, providing fluid flow at relatively higher pressures. High output capacity and outstanding performance provided at very low cost. Guaranteed performance All SC Hydraulic pumps will give years of low cost, trouble free service when properly installed and maintained to manufacturer s instruction. Wide range of operating pressures is provided by all models. For example, the DB operates efficiently when delivering from to 8 psi (see D Series specifications). Wide range of output capacities Only 1 psi air pressure is required for all models to attain maximum rate of flow (see performance charts for data). Complete flexibility SC Hydraulic pumps adapt to a wide variety of applications, from simple manual controls to fully automatic operation. Air motors are interchangeable for most models within each series. Automatic restart Whenever an SC Hydraulic pump is idle, the pilot valve is designed to re-position the pump on the power stroke for the next cycle of operation. Smooth operation The air piston actuating valve is precision fit to close tolerances for maximum efficiency and long service life. Both pressure and volume of flow are easily and accurately controlled by a pressure regulator installed in the air supply line. Fluid Compatibility Pumps can operate with almost any type fluid service (specify when ordering). Hydraulic cylinders are constructed from aluminum-bronze, stainless steel, or carbon steel. Hydraulic pistons are constructed from stainless steel, hard chrome-plated. Materials incorporated in the hydraulic assembly vary depending upon type of service and pump model. Designed for easy maintenance Costly down time is reduced to a minimum when service is required. D Dry Lube Series pumps are packed at the factory with valve lubricant and may be operated without a lubricator in air supply. Hydraulic cylinder packing may be replaced without dismantling the air motor. Three Series available choose from: 1- Series 9 models to, psi D/1- Series 1 models to, psi /D/1- Series 13 models to, psi Applications include static and burst testing, flow testing requiring relatively low flows at high pressures, operation of hydraulic presses, clamping, pressing, metal forming, piercing, blanking, staking, etc. Applications requiring extreme intermittent pressure and velocity commonly associated with water blasting and jetting.

Liquid Pump Cut-a-way

D & 1- SERIES D & 1- Series pumps have a ½ diameter air piston and a 1 ¼ stroke. Sixteen models are available with pressures up to, psig. When operating from to rated hydraulic pressure, air consumption will be approximately 8 scfm of free air at 1 psi output. At lower air pressures and higher hydraulic pressures air consumption will be reduced proportionately to flow rates indicated. Mounting may be in any position, vertical preferred. When mounting in an inverted position, a drain cock should be provided to drain off any liquid that may accumulate in the pilot valve air chamber. The D Series Dry Lube pump is identical to the 1- Series except it is pre-lubricated and therefore does not require an air line lubricator. The part number distinguishes it from the 1- Series by the D prefix and using the actual ratio rather than a numerical code in the model suffix.

Instead of automatically reciprocating until the stall pressure is reached, the 8 Series Intensifiers require an external four-way air valve to operate the unit. AIR SUPPLY 1/ NPT A B The end caps have 1/ NPT air supply port connections and the unit can be supplied with a position indicator rod at the top of the intensifier if required. All ratios and options available on the intensifiers are the same as on our D and D Series pumps. The units can be mounted in any position however upright is preferred. The air cylinder does not require lubrication. Refer to the How to Order and performance data sheets of the D and D Series pumps for additional information.

If ordered as separate parts use the numbers above. One or two brackets can be used for each pump depending on the application. The brackets are installed by removing the three bolts for the bracket position and loosening the remaining tie rod bolts.

PUMP MODIFICATIONS A combination of any of the modifications shown can be supplied upon request. Consult factory for additional information and dimensional data if required. A Modification Available on all models This modification utilizes dual seals in the hydraulic assembly with a bleed-off between the seals to atmosphere, thus providing a visual indication of hydraulic seal leakage. Used where contamination of the air motor from the hydraulic fluid being pumped is objectionable K Modification Available on D/1- and D/1- This modification utilizes a special air piston in the air motor assembly which decreases the stroke of the pump, thus minimizing the internal forces and increasing air motor life. Used in applications exhibiting rapid pressure losses, such as burst testing. B Models Available on D/1- and D/1- The B models have a bottom inlet connection for convenient tank top installation or alternate mounting configuration. H Models Available on D/1- and D/1- The H Models utilize special packing in the hydraulic assembly for maximum performance where hydraulic fluid media is contaminated with foreign matter, thus providing for a much greater life expectancy from the hydraulic seals than with standard o-ring seals. The A modification is included on all H models and the check valves have PTFE o-rings C Models Available on D/1- and D/1- The C Models utilize PTFE chevron packing in the hydraulic assembly for ultimate performance when other packing material is not compatible with the fluid used or because of extreme temperature conditions. The A modification is included on all C models and the check valves have PTFE o-rings. R Modification Available on D/1- and D/1-. The R Models are furnished with an isolator attachment which prevents the hydraulic piston retracting into the air motor during operation, thus providing for 1% noncontamination of the hydraulic assembly from the air motor. The isolator also acts as a heat barrier.
