Our commitment to you
Armfield welcome you to our ninth edition catalogue
Armfield Limited have over 50 years experience in the design and supply of equipment for Engineering
teaching. In that time they have been consistent innovators and have brought many new concepts
and products to market.
It is the declared intent of the Company to remain at the forefront of the industry through its on-going
commitment to research and development.
While others may copy, Armfield see their strength and through that strength their commitment to
the Engineering Education world, in providing new and unique ways of introducing and educating the
student population in this most important of professional arenas.
The Company recognises that it is not enough to supply equipment but that it must also ensure
a complete range of services both pre and post sale. With a market place that covers all points of
the globe, communication is an essential part of that service, Armfield strive to make the passage of
communication as easy as possible whether the task is seeking data prior to a purchase or support after
a sale.
This ninth edition of the Company’s short form brochure reflects this ethos and the options available
to obtain data. We hope you will find it a useful and rewarding aid in your search for engineering
excellence within your teaching and research laboratories.

All the CAPTURE units use standard PCs to display, record and manipulate the data. The
world-beating Armfield educational software provides extensive facilities aimed specifically at
engineering education and enhancing the learning experience. A common software format is
used across all machines. Similarly the machines all use a common interface unit, thus providing
a cost-effective solution for laboratories requiring several machines.
Interface unit - IFD7 The interface between the Capture MKII units and
the user’s computer is provided by the Armfield
IFD7 Interface Unit. This conditions the raw data
from the sensors, digitises the data and transfers
it to the computer using the USB interface. It
also includes a sophisticated 3 phase inverter for
providing accurate motor speed control, and a
second motor drive output, all under software
control.

The gear pump is the most widely used of the positive action rotary pumps. Two gear wheels
operate inside a casing; one is driven whilst the other rotates in mesh with it. The liquid is carried
around in the space between consecutive teeth and then ejected as the teeth mesh.
The pump has no valves. It is a positive displacement pump and will deliver against high pres-
sures. The output is a more even flow than that of a reciprocating pump. It is particularly suitable
for high viscosity fluids.
