Progressive Cavity Metering
There are two basic styles of Progressive Cavity
continuous flow Metering: Gerotor and Rotor/Stator.
These metering methods are typically used in
1-Part Dispensing Systems
for pumping or metering applications.
The
Gerotor Progressive Cavity Meter uses a rotary motor and
offset internal/external gear design to dispense material. Typically
the external gear has one more tooth-cavity than the teeth of
the offset rotary internal gear. At all times, the internal gear
teeth contact and seal against the external gear internal surfaces
to dispense material. This meter is ideal for pumping and metering
low to medium viscosity fluids. The flow rate is adjusted by varying
the motor RPM.
The Rotor/Stator Progressive Cavity Meter uses
a rotary motor and intricate rod and cavity to dispense material.
The rotor, a twisted rod, rotates inside the stator, an oval-shaped
twisted cavity, to dispense material. This meter is ideal for
pumping and metering high solids and high viscosity fluids. The flow
rate is adjusted by varying the motor RPM.
