RUBY Air Wipe AWM 51, an advanced version of Ruby Air Wipe AWM 5, is dedicated for cleansing bare, fine gauge wire of:

Ø 0.10 to Ø 1.0 mm.

While retaining the merits of its predecessor, especially its compact size, Ruby Air Wipe AWM 51 offers 3 unique features:

1. Vortex wiping;

2. An extended wiping cylinder;

3. Replaceable centering guides.

The Vortex

Please see Air Wipe Introduction.

Extended Wipe Cylinder

As illustrated at top left, the wiping cylinder consists of a diamond polished tungsten carbide tube which not only is wear-resistant, but when compared with AWM 5, provides an extended wiping cylinder 3 times as long.

Replaceable Centering Guide

To minimize friction and to extend the service life, we have chosen diamond polished ruby or sapphire guides rendered in tandem to center the wire. It is recommended that you choose a centering guide bore diameter no more than 0.2 mm larger than the wire being wiped. The ruby or sapphire guides are dedicated for precise centering of the wire and subject to replacement.

Low Profile AWM 51

There are instances where the space is so tight that even our regular AWM 51 air wipe fails to fit in. For this we have developed the Low Profile AWM 51, shown at top right, with the air couplings located laterally, reducing the height by 47%.

Part Number Description

The main part number is: AWM 51, which stands for air wipe AWM 51, without the centering guide. For centering guides, the part number is: AWM 51 CG - followed by the centering guide bore diameter in 1/10 mm, namely:

Ø 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.8, 0.9 mm.

Example: AWM 51 CG - 0.3 stands for the AWG 51 centering guide only, with a bore diameter 0.3 mm.

AWM 51 Low Profile: stands for AWM 51 Low Profile, to which all AWM 51 centering
guides apply.

The original AWM 5 and its components remain available from us.
