Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a peristaltic dosing pump and how does this DC 5V/6V model work?
A: A peristaltic pump works by squeezing a flexible rubber tube in a rotating motion, pushing liquid through the tube without the fluid ever contacting the pump mechanism. This DC 5V/6V model uses a metal brush geared motor to drive the squeezing action, allowing precise, contamination-free transfer of water, ink, and other viscous or non-viscous liquids — perfect for lab sampling and DIY dispensing projects.
Q: What liquids can this micro peristaltic pump handle?
A: Thanks to its high conveying pressure and rubber tubing, this pump is well-suited for a wide range of liquids including water, ink, dyes, and moderately viscous fluids. It is ideal for lab sampling, automated dosing setups, and small-scale DIY liquid transfer systems.
Q: Can I use this pump with an Arduino or Raspberry Pi project?
A: Yes! The pump operates at DC 5V–6V, which aligns perfectly with standard microcontroller platforms like Arduino and Raspberry Pi. Its forward and reverse rotation capability makes it easy to integrate into automated dispensing, aquarium dosing, or educational fluid mechanics experiments.
Q: What is the motor type in this peristaltic pump?
A: This pump features a 500-series DC motor equipped with precious metal brushes. The metal brush construction supports reliable forward and reverse rotation, providing consistent performance for laboratory and DIY applications.
