OPG1-30000

Hydraulic Pressure Generator/Controller

 



PURPOSE / APPLICATIONS

OPG1-30000 provides a new alternative for generating and adjusting high liquid pressures in calibration and test systems. This compact and easy to use
system provides just the right balance between the simplicity and reliability of manual operation and the convenience of automated features.

OPG1 is a compact and easy to use system for generating and adjusting pressures between zero and 200 MPa (30 000 psi) with on-demand high pressure supply and pushbutton, precision pressure control. Time consuming and tiresome manual pumping and/or screw press operation are completely eliminated.

OPG1 is the ideal solution in a variety of applications where high pressure generation and precision control are required including piston gauge and
transfer standard based calibration and test systems.
OPG1 is the standard pressure generation and control component in a DHI PG7302 high accuracy piston gauge system

DESCRIPTION
A pneumatically driven hydraulic pump provides continuous high pressure oil supply to the high pressure inlet valve. The pump output pressure is set to the desired level using the front panel drive pressure regulator and indicator. The high pressure inlet valve admits pressure from the pump for rough ascending pressure control and the high pressure exhaust valve returns to the reservoir to decrease pressure. The high pressure valves are specially designed metering valves that operate in a half-turn and cannot be over tightened.
Fine pressure adjustment is achieved using a piston based variable volume. Rather than being activated by rotational
force like a screw press, the variable volume is pneumatically activated through a diaphragm. Push button momentary valves adjust the air pressure on the diaphragm providing both effort free micro adjustment and very rapid piston movement as needed. The physical efforts and "end of stroke" operational problems of conventional screw presses are completely eliminated. The variable volume piston position is indicated on the front panel.
