Considerations for measuring vacuum
How you measure vacuum pressure to best effect is highly dependent upon the type of application. This article written by the experts at SensorsOne looks the different vacuum pressure measurement strategies, and when one should be used over the other

Cartridges put vacuum power where it's needed
In this age of globalization and increased competition, minimizing machine downtime and reducing energy consumption are critical issues. Designing innovative vacuum technology into machinery can play a key role in achieving both, says Peter Tell of PIAB

Corrosive media and dry running vacuum pumps
Contaminated waste disposal during a manufacturing process is a significant cost to the pharmaceutical industry. Uwe Gottschlich, business manger for dry running vacuum pumps at Sterling Fluid Systems, argues that vacuum pumps with a uniform temperature control throughout give the best solution

Variable frequency drives for vacuum pumps
Having your vacuum pump running at full load all the time could be costing you a lot of money. Employing variable speed drives to reduce the pump speed when full power isn't required will save energy, and so save money

Considerations in vacuum pump suitability
Whilst component performance, size and cost are obvious considerations in the selection of vacuum pumps, these rather bland descriptors can represent only the tip of the iceberg. We look below the surface to reveal far-reaching design implications

The niche for venturi vacuum generators
Venturi vacuum systems have long been the mainstay in pick and place operations, but given the need for energy conservation and efficiency, is there still a role for venturi vacuum generators and suction cups? We get some answers from Steve Sands, product manager of Festo.

Dealing with variable torque loads
Sizing and rating the right motor for a pump application is not always straightforward, because when dealing with variable torque loads, things are not always as they seem and certainly not what you might expect. Edward Cowern of Baldor explains why.

Altitude effects on diaphragm pump performance
It is important to consider how pump performance is affected by the relationship between atmospheric pressure and altitude, say the miniature diaphragm pump experts at Hargraves Technology Corporation. Fluidic system designers need to be aware of the full range of altitudes their systems may operate at.

New concept increases productivity and reduces energy use
Peter Tell of PIAB AB describes how COAX Technology takes the multi-stage ejector into a new dimension. In particular, COAX offers industrial manufacturers the opportunity to achieve previously impossible gains in productivity and reductions in energy consumption.
