Gear type flow meters VCA / VCG

Product catalog summary
Overview: This document provides detailed technical information on VCA and VCG gear type flow meters, which are used for precise flow measurement in various industrial applications. The document includes specifications, construction details, technical data, and electrical connections.
Construction and Function: The flow meters consist of two high-precision gears operating on the displacement principle, allowing for contactless measurement. The gears are housed in a chamber with ball and plain bearings, and all moving parts are lubricated by the measuring medium. The sensors mounted on the lid detect gear movement, generating signals corresponding to the geometric tooth volume.
General Product Characteristics: These flow meters offer high-precision measurements, low pressure drop, and can operate in any flow direction. They are suitable for a wide temperature range and high working pressures, with low noise emissions and dynamic measurement capabilities. Explosion-proof versions are available, and the electronics comply with EMV and RoHS standards.
Technical Data: The document provides detailed specifications for various nominal sizes, including measurement accuracy, pressure loss, temperature ranges, and viscosity limits. The materials used include aluminum and stainless steel for the housing and gears, with FKM seals.
Type Keys: The document outlines the type keys for VCA and VCG models, detailing options for connection types, materials, sealing, bearings, and electronic configurations.
Electrical Connections and Signal Characteristics: The flow meters feature single and dual-channel electrical connections, with working voltages between 12 to 30 V DC. The signal output is a square-wave signal, with options for PNP/NPN configurations and short circuit protection.
Pressure Drop Charts: Charts are provided to illustrate the pressure drop across different flow rates and viscosities for various models, aiding in the selection of the appropriate flow meter for specific applications.
Technical Drawings: Detailed dimensions and mounting options are provided for different models, including VCA 0.04, VCA 0.1, VCA 0.2, VCA 2, and VCG 2.
Conclusion: The VCA and VCG gear type flow meters are versatile and precise instruments suitable for a range of industrial applications, offering robust construction, high accuracy, and compliance with safety and environmental standards.

Gear type flow meters VCA / VCG I Construction 1 Housing 2 Cover 3 Gear 4 Plug 5 Sensor 6 Bearing Consisting of two high-precision gears, the measuring unit is driven by the liquid flow based on the displacement principle. The gears run in an almost contactless manner in the measuring chamber. The bearing consists of ball and plain bearings. The measuring principle does not cause any pressure or volume flow pulsation. Because there is no need for settling sections on the inlet and outlet side, machines/ plants can be designed to be more compact. All moving parts are lubricated by the measuring...
