Unlike most liquid pumps, this is a \u003cstrong\u003eperistaltic type\u003c\/strong\u003e - the pump squishes the silicone tubing that contains the liquid instead of impelling it directly. The upshot? The pump never touches the fluid which makes this an excellent choice for any food\/drink\/sterile based pumping such as for making drink-bots or gardening robots!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pump is basically a geared down DC motor, so it has a lot of torque. Inside the pump is a 'clover' pattern of rollers. As the motor turns, the clover presses on the tube to press the fluid though. The pump does not need to be primed and in fact can self-prime itself with water a half meter with ease. You can \u003cstrong\u003ePWM \u003c\/strong\u003ethe motor to speed up or slow down the flow rate and if you connect the motor the other way it will move fluid the other direction. Works great with either a power transistor (basic on\/off) or a motor driver chip such as the \u003cstrong\u003eL293D\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe also stock a version that is compatible with both 5V and 6V DC power supplies. You can find it here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note: \u003c\/strong\u003eThe pump comes with a bit of silicone tubing already installed and two \u003cstrong\u003e1\/2 meter\u003c\/strong\u003e pieces attached on with barbed connectors. However, the silicone tubing is not sterile and might be dirty on its way to you. Before using, the tubing must be sterilized! The included tubing is also not rated FDA or USDA compliant and is only meant for basic testing of the pump. If you need to purchase FDA\/USDA compliant tubing for use with your food-hacking project check out McMaster-Carr.  They have many types of silicone tubing available by the foot! We also have a meter of silicone tubing you can pick up right now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWikipedia has a great article on peristaltic pumps, please check it out for more details on how these devices work!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUses approx. 4mm outer diameter, 2mm inner silicone tubing, the pump tube size has changed on us, so please measure the tubing that comes with your pump to verify!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeristaltic pump design - squishes silicone tubing rather than impelling fluid directly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNever touches the fluid being pumped\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for food, drink, and sterile applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeared down DC motor with high torque\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClover pattern roller mechanism for consistent fluid movement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelf-priming capability - can prime itself with water up to half a metre\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePWM compatible for variable flow rate control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReversible operation - reverse motor direction to change fluid direction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with power transistors and motor driver chips (e.g. L293D)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes silicone tubing pre-installed with two 0.5 metre pieces and barbed connectors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-sterile tubing included - requires sterilisation before use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded tubing not FDA\/USDA compliant - suitable for testing only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorking Temperature: 0℃ - 40 ℃\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMotor voltage: 12VDC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMotor current: 200-300mA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlow rate: up to 100 mL\/min\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 200 grams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 27mm diameter motor, 72mm total length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting holes: 2.7mm diameter, 50mm centre-to-centre distance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eResources\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoHs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePackage Contents\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x Peristaltic Liquid Pump with Silicone Tubing - 12V DC Power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Adafruit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44930728919129,"sku":"qfx1789671691163","price":23.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/5289\/5833\/files\/peristaltic-liquid-pump-with-silicone-tubing---12v-dc-power_1.jpg?v=1789671695","url":"https:\/\/gymflexfit.shop\/products\/peristaltic-liquid-pump-with-silicone-tubing-12v-dc-power","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
