How do I find out what is available in existing PAVE designs?

« Previous

First, review our catalog, Product Index, or In-Stock Price List for ideas and examples. We offer standard, semi-custom and custom seals in three basic styles with almost unlimited variations.

The first style is the PAVE-Seal Harness with insulated wires on both sides of the bulkhead.

The second style is the PAVE-Mate I that has a connector on both sides of the bulkhead.

The third basic style is the PAVE-Mate II that is a combination of the first two styles with a connector on one side and insulated wires (or solder cup pins) on the other side. We do have other assemblies not displayed that do not have complete drawings as well, which Sales Engineering can explain their availability upon request.

Our standard designs are in the catalog section, listed in our In-Stock Price List or Product Index section.

We have many other standard designs not displayed that we can offer once we are made aware of your minimum requirements using our Quotation Request Forms on pages 7, 14 or 23 in the catalog that we attempt to match up with existing products. Tell us your minimum electrical requirements as to the number of conductors, minimum size of conductor (amperage), and voltage. Then also indicate your minimum critical mechanical requirements such as the available bulkhead or wall thickness, maximum outside diameter or space available and method of installation. Thin wall bulkheads of less than 3/8" (0,9mm) will usually limit housing choices to using a jam nut, bolted on flange or a welded housing. Please use our quote forms to include other critical operating specifications such as pressure, the vacuum or pressure's direction (especially needed for +30 bar pressure seals) and temperature operating range.

Our semi-custom designs allow the customer to specify unique combinations of standard housings, wire and/or pins shown in our catalog. Our sales engineering will quickly confirm that the unique combination is a valid design. We offer basic design guidelines such as minimum wire or conductor spacing on page 7 in our catalog (see question six that follows in this section). However, there can be so many variables and exceptions due to pressure, temperature, voltages, etc. that we do not try of address all these issues online. Send your request and we will quickly confirm the design or we will make recommendations.

Our custom designs allow the customer to use his imagination to specify a solution to his seal requirements. We will work closely with the customer to produce a high quality and cost effective design and final product. Again, use our quote forms as a guideline and send us whatever type of concept drawing you may have for our review. If you have no drawings, explain the problem, including operating conditions and your objective. Our quote form in the Design Assistance section or on page 23 of the catalog can be a useful guideline for the customer in providing us the necessary information. Include any price range you are attempting to meet, so we can direct you to a proper design, particularly for large quantities. You can also e-mail CAD drawings compatible with AutoCad Lite or 14 in a .dxf or .dwg file format to attention tek(at)pavetechnologyco.com.
