The valve stroke on a precision assembly is held to +/- .001. An internal component has flatness held to .002 across surfaces with diameters 1.050 and .720. An automatic unscrewing core forms extremely fine 40 threads per inch on a 1.216I.D. in the outer component.
Poppet
The poppet is produced with a collapsible core mold with flexing elements that collapse inward during the initial stage of ejection to release the 1.500 and 1.374 O-ring grooves. A circular run-out of .004 to a datum reference is held on 6 critical diameters. Diameters of 1.562 and 1.781 are held to +/- .002.
Regulator
A pump regulator is produced from a 3-plate mold with 5 independently controlled unwinding core pulls to form thread details and runs fully automatic production. Each core pull has interchangeable inserts for different thread specifications and port size openings. The part is molded in 33% glass filled nylon. A vacuum is used to pull air from cavities to avoid blemishes on critical sealing surfaces.
Retainer
The 10-24 UNC-2A thread on this retainer is formed with side cores below the parting line surface and core detail, and activated during ejection with a dual purpose cam mechanism.
Gauge
This precision assembly requires a pointer-indicator to be held to +/- 3 degrees, the concentricity in a molded polycarbonate lens to be held to +/- .002", and a hermetic seal of the assembly through sonic welding.
Sleeve
A sleeve is molded in 50% glass filled nylon with concentricity of four diameters held within 0.005 to a common datum reference.
Pump Housing
Dimensions of an internal diameter and occlusion radius are held within +/- .002 on a pump housing with a thick wall section.
