You're right, I had the actuation reversed when I wrote that. Thanks for catching it.

The diaphram is driven by the spring, which in turn is loaded (compresed) by the lever running on the cam. If the diaprhagm gets stiffer, the spring has less chance of moving or flexing it. The result is less fluid moved, either due to less movement of the diaprhagm, or due to the diaphragm moving slower on each stroke. Anyway, that's the way I see it. I've had diaphragms stiffen up to where they won't move at all. cheers, Fred ----------------------------------------------------- The information contained in this communication may be confidential, is intended only for the use of the recipient named above, and may be legally privileged.
