DC-BI Pump Drive: Innovative Motor Technology for KNF Pumps

Maximum Performance-to-Size-Ratio and Lifetime

DC-BI uses a modern BLDC pump motor and stands for ‘Direct Current Brushless Integrated’. While developing the new pump drive unit, KNF put special emphasis on maximising service life and compactness. For the first time in diaphragm pump technology, the motor has been fully integrated into the pump housing.

This unique integration allows for unprecedented compactness and lightweight, as well as for an optimisation of the bearings. For maximum lifetime, the drive unit uses larger than normal ball bearings. In addition, the ball bearing configuration has been optimised by cutting out the need for a third ball bearing, as it is the case in conventional pump setups. By manufacturing the entire pump drive unit in-house, KNF is also less dependent on a single supplier, further increasing product availability and order reliability.

Full Digital Customisation of BLDC Pump Motor Possible

As DC-BI uses a modern BLDC pump motor and KNF has full control over electronics and software, comprehensive digital customisation is possible. This allows for sophisticated parameterisation of aspects such as motor speed range, motor speed ramp, threshold values or error message output. With this many options for customisation, the new series using DC-BI can be adapted to a multitude of requirements, making them suitable for almost every field of application.
