Car-May OEM System Modules
Car-May System Modules are complete fluid delivery systems for metering and dispensing. These compact modules precisely move, control, and measure fluid.

 
     
 

2-Series

Model 2-1

Low-cost metering up to 50 ml/min.
Single-cylinder design; pulsation depends on control method.


Model 2-4

Dispensing and low-pulsation metering up to 200 ml/min.

Model 2-4 Nova System

Includes NovaFlow™ for near-pulseless metering, and NovaSpense™ for dispensing accuracy up to 0.1% Cv.

 

16-Series

16-series systems are recommended for applications with higher-viscosity fluids.

Model 16-2

Dispensing and metering up to 640 ml/min.

Model 16-4

Dispensing and low-pulsation metering up to 1280 ml/min.

Model 16-4 Nova System

Includes NovaFlow™ for near-pulseless metering, and NovaSpense™ for dispensing accuracy up to 0.1% Cv.

  Dispensing specs are based on tests with 1.0 mL of RO water at room temperature and 1 atm of pressure.
* Please consult Car-May for information specific to your application.
* * Specifications are dependent on control system used.
* * * For flow rates of less than 1 mL/min the calculated instantaneous pulsation levels increase.
Observed pulsation levels depend greatly on fluidic setup and measurement technique.
Cv: The coefficient of variation, expressed in percent, is used to describe the standard deviation
(s) relative to the mean (X). Cv = [ (100) (s)/ X ]
 
     
  Wetted Materials

The wetted parts of "Standard configuration" Car-May System Modules are made from chemically-resistant materials, creating a versatile, durable fluid control system. For applications that involve more aggressive fluids, an even more robust "Inert" wetted parts option is available. Other options may be available- please contact us about your 'problem liquid.'

Nova System Communications
To harness precision, you must have control.

     

That's why our Nova Systems have a flexible communications platform. RS-485 communication capability allows you to easily control the Nova Systems with our predefined commands. Use a PC, PLC, or any other source that can generate 8-bit ASCII commands to precisely control as many Nova Systems as you need.

LabVIEW™, C++ and Visual Basic compatibility provide the versatility required for simple and effective integration into your process. Connect the Nova System, assign it to an address on your network, and you are ready to go. Up to 250 Modules can be controlled on one RS-485 network using ASCII serial strings. Digital I/O and analog capability are standard in Nova Systems and in Basic Systems that use the integrated motor/drive.

  Move it. Control it. Measure it.

Car-May systems are different from basic pumps because they do more than typical pumps. Measurement and flow control capabilities are incorporated into the pump's design. No external valves or flow meters are needed.
