Miniature Submersible Pump
SBE 5M

Brochure/specifications in pdf format     Configuration

SBE 5M

DESCRIPTION

The SBE 5M pump module consists of a centrifugal pump head and a long-life, DC, ball-bearing motor contained in a compact titanium pressure housing useable to 10,500 meters (34,400 ft) deep. The pump impeller and electric drive motor are coupled magnetically through the housing, providing high reliability by eliminating moving seals. Motor speed and pumping rate remain constant over the entire input voltage range. The motor drive electronics is intrinsically protected against accidental reversed polarity.

APPLICATIONS

The SBE 5M is standard on the 19plus SEACAT Profiler CTD. It is optional on the SBE 16plus and 16plus-IM SEACAT C-T Recorder, and in custom applications. The pump flushes water through the conductivity cell at a constant rate, independent of the CTD's motion, improving dynamic performance. For applications requiring pumping through additional sensors (for example, a dissolved oxygen sensor), use the SBE 5T pump instead.
