How Do You Prevent Pressure Overshoot in a Micro Air Pump System?
Your micro pump hits its target pressure, but the pressure keeps rising, risking safety. This guide explains how to achieve precise, reliable control. Preventing pressure overshoot requires a systems approach. Use closed-loop feedback with a pressure sensor and PWM control to slow the pump near its target. Also, carefully consider system dynamics like tubing, valves, […]
Why Do Micro Vacuum Pumps Lose Vacuum Under Load?
Your pump’s datasheet promised –80 kPa, but it barely holds –60 kPa in your device. This instability threatens your project timeline and product reliability, leaving you questioning the component’s quality. Micro pumps lose vacuum under load because real-world systems introduce flow demands from leaks or gas intake. This moves the pump’s operating point along its […]
What Vacuum Level Do You Really Need? Understanding Working Vacuum vs. Max Vacuum
Your team selected a micro pump with a powerful -90 kPa rating on the datasheet, but in your system, it barely pulls -60 kPa. Now your device is failing performance specs, and the project is at risk. This common mistake comes from confusing "Max Vacuum" with "Working Vacuum." The vacuum level you really need is […]
