2.7 Improper modes of operation
The safety of operation of the delivered device can only be insured by correct
use, as described in chapter 1. The limit values given in this manual must not be
exceeded in any case.
2.8 General safety instructions
Please observe the following safety instructions
!
The pump may operate at high pressures. For this reason please use only the
delivered accessories and ensure that the employed fittings and tubing have
been prescribed and approved for these pressures.
!
In order to decrease the pressure, provide the system with a pressure control
valve directing the excess liquid to the storage tank or back to the suction side.
In the case of blockage of the pressure side the operating pressure can
multiply, this can lead to the damage of downstream components.
!
At a standstill, the liquid may flow through the pump in the direction of falling
pressure. In order to avoid this unwanted movement, please integrate non-
return valves (see accessories). This applies also to elevated liquid containers.
!
Protect the micro annular gear pump and the electric drive against strokes and
shocks.
!
Under normal working conditions the shaft sealing rings integrated in the
pump prevent the liquid from leaking out of the device. The micro annual gear
pumps are "technically leak-proof" however not "hermetically sealed" which
means it may occur that gases or liquids enter to or escape from the pump.
The allowed electrical parameters of the drive must not be exceeded. In
particular an incorrect polarity setting of the supply voltage may lead to
damage of the control unit.
Warning Please insure, that the totality of the liquid supply accessories such as tubes,
hoses, filters etc. are absolutely free from dust or dirt particles. Impurities such
as metal swarf, plastic or glass splinters may impair or damage the pump
leading to its failure.
Warning Please, operate the pump with a filter featuring 10 µm or smaller pores. It will
protect the pump.

4Description of the pump
4.1 Principle of the Micro annular gear pumps
Micro annular gear pumps are positive displacement pumps. They contain two
rotors bearing slightly eccentrically to each other; an externally toothed internal
rotor and an annular, internally toothed external rotor (see figure 3). Due to
their cycloid indenting, the rotors remain interlocked at any time, forming
during rotation a system of several sealed pumping chambers. As the rotors
revolve around their offset axis, the pumping chambers increase on the
induction (suction) side and simultaneously decrease on the delivery side of the
pump (see figure 4). A homogenous flow is generated between the kidney-like
inlet and outlet.

figure 3 Principle of the micro annular gear pump
figure 4 Operating principle of the micro annular gear pump
Reciprocating and rotary pumps have a direct allocation to the fed amount of
the displacement volume Vg of the pump and its actuator’s number of
revolutions n. The displacement volume describes the volume, which is
theoretically fed with each revolution. The coherence of the flow rate referring
to the formula (= volumetric flow rate) Qof the pump is:

Vol describes the coherence of the actual flow rate
from the theoretical resulting value. Differences occur according to leaking, as
the sealing on the inside of the pump is done over a gap. The volumetric

efficiency is dependent on the media and the pressure against which it has to
be fed.
Example: The pump mzr-4622X1 feeds with its displacement volume of 12 µl
with 3000 RPM and a volumetric efficiency of 100 % referring to the above-
mentioned formula the flow rate of 36 ml/min. The following table shows the

table 5 Theoretical flow rate of the micro annular gear pump mzr-4622X1
The pressure, which the pump has to generate, is given by the construction of
the fluidic system and the results of the hydrostatic pressure and the hydraulic
resistants (given by tubes, contractions etc.).
The viscosity of the pumping liquid has an important influence on the
volumetric efficiency. The volumetric efficiency increases with higher viscosity
according to the smaller disengagement through the gaps of the pump.
Cavitation is an effect, which can reduce the volumetric efficiency from in a
specific ceiling speed. With increasing viscosity (e.g.> 5.000 mPas), this ceiling
speed is lower. This is the result of the media specified underflow of the steam
pressure in the induction port of the pump, in which gases are building up in
the pump.
The specific feature of the mzr-pumps is their highly precise design, as well as
the guarantee of high accumulator pressure and high accuracy in flow rate and
dosage. Therefore, space width and transverse space width of the rotors as well
as the interspace to the adjacent case parts lie in the range of just a few
micrometers. This precession is at the same time the criteria to achieve a
volumetric efficiency in the range of approx. 100 %.
The micro annular gear pump head has an inscription on the front side (see
figure 5). The induction connection is marked with the letter »S«, the pressure
connection with the letter »D«. An arrow on the front side of the pump
indicates the inherent turning direction of the shaft.

4.2 Micro annular gear pump mzr-4622X1
The micro annular gear pump mzr-4622X1 is provided with an actuator
equipped with an brushless DC-motor. The motor works high dynamically and
is recommended for programmed dosage operation of the micro annular gear
pump. With this control unit it is possible to manage lower RPM ranges down
to 100 RPM. The accuracy of dosage can be achieved better than 0.5 %. For
operating, it is recommended to use a power source of 24 V (with a power
rating of 2,5 A).
figure 6 Measures of the micro annular gear pump mzr-4622X1
The mzr-micro annular gear pump consists of the micro annular gear pump
head, the coupling unit and an actuator. The pump head is equipped with two
fluidic connector bore holes and a shaft for actuation of the rotors. The
coupling unit serves as connection between the pump head and the actuator as
well as to mount the micro annular gear pump.
The actuators used may be protected against dust, condensing moisture,
humidity, splashing, aggressive gases and liquids. Ensure sufficient ventilation
and therefore cooling of the motors.
The preferred position to assemble the micro annular gear pump is horizontal.
To avoid intruding fluids you may lay the pump under the actuator in vertical
operation.
The mechanical assembly of the pump may not be done over the fluidic
connectors or the motor.
4.3 Materials and liquids
The components of the micro annular gear pump heads mzr-4622 are
manufactured of tungsten carbide (with 10% nickel binder) and nickel bronze.

Last update: May 2019 Technical data subject to change without prior notice! 13
The liquid resistance is to be checked in single cases. Feeding of non-lubricant
liquid reduces the service life of the micro annular gear pumps.
4.4 Liquid supply
We are able to supply the micro annular gear pump head in two kinds.
Slip fittings
The micro annular gear pump head has two 2 mm outer diameter fluidic
connectors on the front.
Configuration with a manifold assembly
The micro annular gear pump for fitting-in is prepared for mounting in unit
constructions. The advantage of fitting-in is the small dimension for the
coupling of micro annular gear pump.
You can see in figure 7 and figure 8 the assembly dimension and in figure 9 the
installation position of sealing.
