The pneumatic lift version of the Model 24 is based on the open face machine, but has the pressure weights attached to the rods of three pneumatic cylinders. Self aligning bearings accommodate any slight vertical misalignment and ensure an even pressure is applied to components inside the conditioning ring.
The Model 24 diamond flat lapping/polishing machine is a popular choice for lapping of mechanical seal faces and a variety of valve components, eg : pressure relief valve bodies and caps, and parallel slide valves, both in original manufacture and in maintenance and repair workshops.
