The TE-5005-BLX is a brushless motor assembly that does not use motor brushes or require maintenance engineered for 220-volt Mass Flow Controlled (MFC) high volume air sampling systems. This maintenance-free motor assembly eliminates the need for routine brush changes while delivering reliable performance for EPA-compliant ambient air quality monitoring.
MFC System Integration
MFC systems use a hot wire anemometer probe inserted into the flow stream that automatically adjusts motor speed as the filter begins to collect particulate. The TE-5005-BLX integrates seamlessly with PLUS technology MFC controllers that use ambient temperature, ambient pressure, and hot wire anemometry to maintain the set flow rate with the highest accuracy available.
Key Specifications
- Voltage: 220V
- Motor Type: Brushless (maintenance-free)
- Application: Mass Flow Controlled systems
- No motor brushes or maintenance required
Compatibility
The TE-5005-BLX is designed for use in MFC-equipped high volume air samplers for TSP, PM10, and PM2.5 monitoring. Compatible components include:
- TE-5005-1 Motor Flange (MFC Motor Assembly)
- TE-5005-3 Motor Housing
- TE-5004 Filter Holder with TE-5005-9 gasket
- Mass flow controllers and PLUS technology systems
Applications
Designed for EPA-compliant ambient air quality monitoring including TSP sampling per 40 CFR 50, Appendix B at flow rates between 40-60 ft³/min, PM10 monitoring per 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix J, and PM2.5 monitoring per 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix L.
Brushless motors are higher in cost but do not have any emissions, making them ideal for long-term deployment in remote monitoring locations where minimal maintenance access is available.
