DRAWSTOP SOLENOIDS

We now supply, as standard, hard felt armature bearings and graphite coated centre tubes for all of our Drawstop Solenoids. Together these give improved feel and quietness to the action.

PRICE LIST

Our current price list is dated 1st. January 2009. You can request one of these using the E-mail facility on this sites home page, and they can be sent either by post or by E-mail as a Word document.



1/2", 3/4" & 9/16" COMPOUND MAGNETS


Following the success of our 1/2" Compound Magnet FS228, C02,  3/4" & 9/16" units are now also available. These are manufactured using the same design of rigid, glass filled Nylon moulded base and cap.
We have retained the use of leather for the valves and diaphragm in these units to ensure reliability and long service life.
Samples are available and can be ordered under the Order Code FS229, 3/4" & FS230, 9/16".

As the 1/2" and 9/16" units are physically the same size and share the same footprint, with the 9/16" unit conducting a larger volume of air, we are no longer offering the 1/2" unit as standard and will substitute the 9/16" unit when 1/2" are ordered, unless there is a specific requirement for 1/2". 


As always you will find the price of these units to be extremely competitive. Both sizes are available in 24 volt format at no extra cost. All units are available with either hinged or loose armatures, see price list for details.

For further details view the dedicated COMPOUND MAGNET page on this site.



LIGHT PALLET MAGNETS

We have expanded our range of Light Pallet Magnets with the introduction of FS159, 5/8"(15mm), and FS162, 1"(25mm) pallet sizes, and also a more powerfull 60 ohm coil.
Please specify any of the above when ordering.

HEAVY DUTY LEVER MAGNET

Our Heavy Duty Lever Magnet (see catalogue page on this site for picture) has been substantially modified. The main points of the modifications are as follows:-

Improved, bushed, self lubricating bearing.

Increased magnet strength by reduction in power loss through friction and by the use of a coil return spring.

New fixing hole positions for easier mounting (original holes retained for retrofitting).

Easy and positive adjustment by use of plated steel screw and lock nut.

Quieter action by use of optional cork mounting gasket.

ENGRAVING PRICES

From 1st. January 2009 there will be a minimum charge for engraving orders of £10.00.

BELLOWS UNITS & PNEUMATIC MOTORS

We now offer a range of single and double rise bellows, and primary action motors.  There ia also a releathering service available.  See dedicated bellows page for picture of bellows and consult our price list for details of range available.

SWELL SHUTTER LUGS

Due to lack of demand for swell shutter lugs we are unable to continue to offer these in our range of products as of 01/06/2008.  We apologise for any inconvenience which this may cause.

PLASTIC BUTTONS

We have had reports of some failures with plastic buttons, and having consulted with the plastic manufacturers and carried out extensive trials ourselves, we have decided to change the plastic used to Polypropylene which will overcome the problem.

 

CHEST MAGNETS

We are now offering a 70 ohm version of our standard Chest Magnet for use on higher wind pressures. These are the same price as the standard 140 ohm unit.  We also have available a floating armature version of this unit which gives slightly better performance at higher pressure, but with the restriction that it must only be used in the vertical position.  There is also a cost saving with this unit.   Both chest Magnets can be supplied in corrosion resistant form to order.




CHATTERTON COMPOUND

The manufacturers of this material have now ceased its production in any form which we can use.
Currently we are out of stock but continue to search for an alternative source.  If anyone has any knowledge of a source for this material please let us know.

 

MUSIC DESK HOOKS

Due to lack of demand these items are now only available in lacquered and polished brass finish.
