Level Controls are required when air springs are employed within an air spring system – they allow for the adjustment of the resting position of the machine or test rig.
There are four standard series of CFM Level Control Unit, from the simple mechanical solution MC300-S to the active position control with microprocessor µC 300 – all are 3-point control systems:
MC 300-S
The MC300 is a mechanical pneumatic level control unit for applications which do not require external monitoring:
LC300/302
Electro-pneumatic level control system offering external equipment monitoring:
EC 300
Electro-pneumatic level control unit with analogue position encoders and electric control valves, external monitoring. Control accuracy +- 0.05mm
µC 300
Electro-pneumatic active position control system with microprocessor and controller. This system is used to avoid resonance step-ups and minimise time for vibration – this significantly reduces oscillation damping time.
