Flight Works designs and manufactures high precision micro gear pumps which provide smooth, pulse-free operationfor pumping liquids. Our gear pumps are ideally suited for high power density applications (i.e. lots of power in a small size). Flight Works pumps are self-priming and corrosion resistant, and range from low cost brushed motor-based pumps to high-end brushless motors with magnetically driven pump sections for eliminating the need for dynamic seals. The pumps come with many fluidic connection types and materials are tailored to customer needs (PEEK, PTFE, Viton, BUNA-N, EPDM, hard anodized aluminum, hardened stainless steels, titanium, Hastelloy, silicon carbide, etc.). Applications include UAV’s, fuel cells and electronic fuel injection systems among others. We can provide you with quantities anywhere from prototyping needs to high volume production.
We custom design to suit customers requirements so if you don’t find exactly what you are looking for please contact us either by completing our Request for Quote (RFQ) (opens in new page) or, if you prefer, by sending us an email.
Product line for low viscosity fluid applications (water, methanol, kerosene, gasoline, etc.)
Flight Works manufactures a family of pumps that are separated into 4 distinct series based on motor technology:
-
R-series utilizing brushed, iron core motor technology – Not for use with gasoline
-
High power density
-
Available in low, standard and high flow gear sets
-
Most economical of the series
-
Designed for limited or intermittent duty applications
-
Can be over driven for brief periods
-
C-series utilizing brushed, coreless motor technology
-
Ideally suited for low flow applications (< 300 ml/min)
-
Swiss made high precision high life motors
-
Much lower power consumption than R-Series
-
Tighter running clearances for increased efficiency over R-Series
-
Encoder options available on all models for feedback and closed loop control
-
Reduction gearboxes available for ultra low flows or higher viscosity fluids
-
X-series utilizing brushless motor technology
-
Electronic commutation provides reduced EMI and much improved reliability
-
Very high life Swiss made motors with ball bearings
-
Higher pressures than any other series
-
Feedback for closed loop control
-
Controller options available from Flight Works
-
XM-series with magnetic coupling and brushless motor technology
