Designed to be interchangeable with models supplied by competing manufacturers, Tuthill M-D Pneumatics EQUALIZER RM rotary positive blowers offer many distinct advantages when compared to other brands:
Helical Gearing EQUALIZER blowers are timed with hardened, precision helical gears, keyed to the rotor shafts. Helical gearing reduces backlash and mechanical noise as compared to spur gears offered by other manufacturers. Keyed interference fit reduces the risk of slippage of the gear on the shaft and loss of timing, one of the leading causes of blower failure.
One Piece Housing Every EQUALIZER blower includes a housing constructed of a single piece of precision machined cast iron, rather than a two piece housing which is subject to misalignment and loss of operating clearances. Rotors with Integral Shafts EQUALIZER blowers include precision machined and dynamically balanced ductile iron rotors with large, integrally cast shafts to provide a single unitized rotor to prevent rotor clash as a result of the impeller moving on its shaft.
Positive End Clearances End clearances are positively established at the blower gear end, eliminating the risk of shifting end clearances. End clearances are not “floating”, and allowing incidental contact between rotors and end plates. “Floating” end clearances can result in unnecessary rotor and end plate wear, shortening overall blower life. |
