Common applications for fluid control, pumping, and dispensing

Syringe Pumps – Motor-driven precision pumps using a plunger to deliver precise and accurate amounts of fluid

		Automated, small, hand-held instruments such as battery-operated syringe pumps that are more precise than manual syringes. Motor provides motion for plunger, eliminating possibility for human error Extremely precise and consistent May include precision ceramic pistons Ideal for patients requiring a very specific amount of medication Electronic pipetting Genetic analysis Semiconductor dispensing
		Hybrid stepper linear actuators

Piston Pumps – Positive displacement pump utilizing one or more reciprocating pistons. Common applications include high-pressure cleaning, painting, or spraying of fluid in biotechnology or industrial settings.

		A motor spins the rotary cam. A linear actuator moves a cassette in / out.
		Size 17 hybrid stepper linear actuator \| Size 23 hybrid stepper linear actuator

Peristaltic Pumps – A method of positive displacement fluid movement commonly using a rotary cam to push fluid through a flexible tube. Typically used to maintain separation between the fluid in the mechanical system. Peristaltic pumps are often applied in biomedical applications to avoid fluid contamination. Peristaltic pumps can also be used aside from medical devices to pump water or similar liquids in industrial applications.
		Used when injecting fluid quickly and at high levels. High quality control Detecting and monitoring cancer via x-rays Medical imaging Engine fuel control systems Precise, rapid Beverage machinery Greasing a tractor
		Brushed DC motors \| Brushless DC motors

Aspiration and Dispenser Pumps – Movement of a small volume of fluid both into and out of a vessel

		Microscopic glue drops dispensed to secure circuit board chips in place
		Size 8 hybrid stepper linear actuator \| Size 11 hybrid stepper linear actuator \| 15mm can-stack stepper motor \| 20mm can-stack stepper motor \| MiniSlide with size 8 hybrid stepper motor

		Dispensing products into individual containers Dispensing food (i.e., peanut butter into a jar) Beverage dispensing (soda machines)
		15mm can-stack stepper motor \| 20mm can-stack stepper motor \| 25mm can-stack stepper motor \| lead screws
