The Model 23 electric system starts and stops 5 times each revolution.  At each operation the push rod advances .040" and waits for the next start command.
All controls are solid state, eliminating any problems associated with electro mechanical switching.
The unit is capable of producing a high dynamic thrust, but even if stalled due to external axial overload, the mechanism and motor drive are unlikely to suffer damage.

 

The reciprocator speed is factory or field adjustable, and is accomplished by "DIP" switch selection.  The standard range is 0.2 to 6.0 inches per minute in 0.2 inch increments.
The "Slo-Mo" speed is 0.02 to 0.60 inches per minute.
A "Super-Slo" range is also optionally available.  The "Super-Slo" range is 0.002 to 0.06 inches per minute.

The reciprocator is available in two forms.  One has a maximum stroke length of 6" and the second has a maximum stroke length of 12".  The standard selectable stroke lengths in the 6" model are 2", 3", 4" and 6".  The standard selectable stroke lengths in the 12" model are 3", 4", 6" and 12".  Other stroke choices are available in multiples of full 1" as an option.

Senses failure of lost motion.  Customer usable 2 amp voltage free contacts (1 N.O. or 1 N.C.) are provided.

All electrical connections are to be made by the customer.  Only 120/1/60-5 amp power supply is required.  Connections are the single phase power supply and the alarm (or interlock) contacts.

The Model 23 reciprocator will produce more force than required to reciprocate a properly installed 2", 2.5" or 3" shower in good operating condition.

The Model 23 uses sealed bearings and has no oils which require regular changing.  Only an annual lubrication is required.

The Model 23 in its standard form can be factory or field set to cover a wide range of requirements.  We recognize there may be applications outside these specifications, and Sinclair engineers are always available to consider and discuss alternative options.
