DC 5V 6V Micro Peristaltic Dosing Pump – Lab Liquid Sampling
DC 5V 6V Micro Peristaltic Dosing Pump – Lab Liquid Sampling
DC 5V/6V Micro Peristaltic Dosing Pump with 500 Metal Brush Geared Motor
Meet your new go-to tool for precise liquid handling. This compact micro peristaltic dosing pump is ideal for DIY enthusiasts, hobbyists, and lab experimenters who need accurate, repeatable liquid transfer for water, ink, and other viscous or non-viscous fluids. Powered by a reliable DC 5V/6V input, it fits seamlessly into small electronics projects, aquarium dosing systems, and desktop lab setups.
Key Features
- Peristaltic Pump Design: The squeeze-tube mechanism keeps the liquid fully contained within the tubing — no contamination, no backflow, and easy cleaning between uses.
- 500 DC Motor with Precious Metal Brush: Delivers smooth, consistent rotation and supports both forward and reverse direction, giving you full control over flow.
- Rubber Tubing Construction: Flexible, durable rubber tubing ensures a reliable seal and handles a wide range of liquid types including inks, water-based solutions, and moderately viscous fluids.
- Low Voltage Operation (DC 5V–6V): Easily powered via USB power bank, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or any standard 5V–6V DC supply — perfect for DIY and maker projects.
- Bidirectional Flow: Forward and reverse motor rotation allows for precise dosing, dispensing, or liquid recovery.
- Compact & Lightweight: Small footprint makes it easy to integrate into tight enclosures or desktop lab rigs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a peristaltic dosing pump and how does it work?
A: A peristaltic dosing pump moves liquid by squeezing flexible rubber tubing in a rotating motion. The liquid stays entirely inside the tubing, making it ideal for clean, contamination-free transfer of water, ink, and other fluids. This DC 5V/6V model uses a 500 metal brush geared motor for consistent, controllable flow.
Q: What liquids can this pump handle?
A: Thanks to its high conveying pressure and flexible rubber tubing, this micro peristaltic pump is suitable for transporting both viscous and non-viscous liquids — including water, lab inks, dyes, and light solutions. It is not recommended for corrosive chemicals or high-temperature fluids.
Q: Can this pump run in reverse?
A: Yes. The 500 DC motor with precious metal brush supports both forward and reverse rotation, allowing you to precisely dose or recover liquid as needed — a major advantage for DIY and maker projects.
Q: What power source does this pump require?
A: This pump operates on DC 5V to 6V, making it compatible with USB power banks, Arduino boards, Raspberry Pi, and standard DC adapters — perfect for low-voltage DIY electronics and desktop lab setups.
