Solenoid-powered pump has tiny outline

A new miniature piston pump uses a small but highly efficient 12V, power-on DC solenoid to provide up to 400ml/min flow within a 39mm-diameter 30mm-long package.

A new miniature piston pump uses a small but highly efficient 12V, power-on DC solenoid to provide up to 400ml/min flow within a 39mm-diameter 30mm-long package.

At only 5.5W, its low power consumption allows the pump to be driven from a battery.

The lightweight construction and ultracompact "can-style" design enables users to miniaturise their designs by maximising flow rate and minimising size in every orientation.

Maximum pressure is 12kPa and a variety of fluids can be pumped including water and propylene glycol coolant.

Investigation is currently being made as to the effect of higher mineral water concentrations and how they can affect long-term performance.

However, provisional performance data and samples can be made available now to interested customers.

A wide fluid temperature range from 5 to 50C can be allowed.

The pump is self-priming which means that the ingress of air into the fluid line does not affect performance.

These motors are RoHS-compliant and have a patent pending.

This new pump results from Shinano's innovative Japanese development capability and applications could include fuel cells, vending machines, and medical/biotech analysis equipment.

These pumps are available via Omnimotor and a full range of European distributors of Shinano Kenshi brand product which also includes hybrid stepper and brushless DC motors.
