Introduction

1.1 Description
The peristaltic pump offers exceptional simplicity, ease-of-
use, and variable flow capacity. The pump is self-priming
and non-siphoning. It prevents back flow since one of the
three rollers is always compressing the tubing. As one section
of a tube fatigues, simply move the tube along to an unused
section and continue pumping. To facilitate changing the
tubing, a latch mechanism allows for easy opening and
closing of the pump.
No tools are required to load the tube. Pumps are mounted to
a pump motor via two screws and can be double stacked.
Tubing can even be changed on stacked pumps without
detaching either of the pumps from the motor. Once tubing is
loaded, a clamp plate holds it securely in place during pump
operation. A single pump can handle a broad range of flow
rates and tube materials.
1.2 Features
ߜ Stainless steel rotor assembly ߜ Ideal for use in sterile, corrosive, or general laboratory operating environments.
ߜ Flow rates from 0.5 to 2280 mL/minute (36 gallons/hour) ߜ Quick mounting to pump motor ߜ Easily stackable mounting for multi-channel pumping ߜ Three-roller geometry reduces pulsation and improves priming
ߜ Polysulfone housing for durability and chemical resistance

The adapter plate is designed to have the same alignment pins and
mounting holes as the front face of the standard pump motor. It acts as
an interface between a non-standard pump motor and the peristaltic
pump. The non-standard pump motor must have a motor shaft groove
large enough to accept the the pump rotor shaft. It must also have at
least two 8-32 mounting holes aligned with those on the adapter plate
(refer to Figure 3-12).
Mounting the adapter plate to the motor (refer to Figure 3-8)
1. Align the plate so that the clearance holes fit over the alignment pins (on
some units) of the non-standard motor.

Tubing Information
4
4.1 Selecting Tubing
Select a tubing material and size that is right for your
application (the fluid and flow rate that you are pumping).
Table 9-2 in Chapter 9, shows the average flow rates for
different size tubing. Normalized flow rates (mL per
revolution) vary significantly, based on motor speed, tubing
materials, viscosity, and mechanical tolerances in pump
dimensions. Table 9-3 outlines the variances resulting from
differences in motor speed, tubing materials, and mechanical
tolerances. Table 9-5 outlines the variances due to the
difference in viscosity.
To determine the chemical compatibility of a particular
tubing material, it is recommended that you test the tubing
under actual conditions.
Tubing materials that can be used include Vinyl, Viton,
Tygon, Silicone, Santoprene, and Norprene. Up to 68
durometer tubing can be used.
NOTE
5
Poor tubing life results were obtained for ⁄16" (8.0mm)
inner diameter Santoprene tubing. This particular tubing
should not be used with the pump.
4.2 Tubing Life
Over time and high speeds, flow rates will drop as the tubing
wears out. Tubing life for various materials and sizes are
shown in Table 9-4 in Chapter 9. Tubing should be
periodically inspected for wear. Either move the tubing to a
fresh section, or replace tubing entirely (refer to Chapter 5).

5.2 Loading the Tubing
NOTE
Before you load the tubing in the pump, make sure that
power to the motor is turned off and that the rotor has
come to a complete stop. The rotor is partially exposed
when the pump is in the open position.
Follow this procedure (refer to Figures 5-1 through 5-4 and
Figure D):

5.3 Operating the Pump
With the pump set up, adjust all control settings for the pump
motor and start pumping. Figure 5-5 shows fluid flow
directions with respect to motor directions.
Extensive testing has shown that the minimum motor speed
required to prime the tubing varies significantly with the size
of the tubing. These variances are shown in Table 9-1 in
Chapter 9. If the tubing will not prime regardless of motor
speed, simply press on the stator (refer to Figure 5-3) while
the stator is shut and the motor is running. Pressing on the
stator enhances the priming action of the pump. Release the
pressure after the tubing is primed.
NOTE
Make sure that the stator is fully latched before motor
power is turned on. If the motor is turning, and the stator is
unlatched for any reason, make sure to keep fingers and
clothing away from the moving rotor assembly until the
motor is turned off and the rotor assembly comes to a
complete stop.

5.4 Adjusting the Clamp Screw
Once you start the pump, you may need to adjust the Clamp
Screw (4) slightly, to prevent the tube from creeping (moving)
through the pump. Creeping tends to occur on tubing of
larger sizes and tubing made from low friction materials (for
example, Santoprene). Use the following procedure to
eliminate creeping. Refer to Figure 5-6.

6.1 Introduction
•
No lubrication is required for the pump. All bearings
are pre-sealed and rated for long life.
•
After many hours of use, fine particles of tubing will
tend to accumulate inside the pump and on the rollers.
Use a high pressure air hose (60 PSI) to blow out most of
the particles from the pump. Clean all parts with a mild
soap solution or a light mineral oil.
•
The pump may be dismantled either for cleaning or for
replacing the rotor assembly in case of a malfunction.
Follow the procedure in Section 6.2 to replace the rotor
assembly.

8.1 Theory of Operation
A peristaltic pump is a fluid pump which operates to create a
moving region of compression along a flexible tube. The
motion of the compressed region of the tube along its axis
forces fluid ahead and creates a partial vacuum behind the
region. This partial vacuum forces more fluid forward. The
pump has a Rotor Assembly which rotates an attached set of
rollers up against a tube backed by a fixed circular wall called
the Stator. The rotary motion of the Rotor Assembly around
the center axis of the pump forms the region of moving
compression in the tube.
8.2 Design Considerations
One side effect of the friction between the Rollers and the
tube is a net force on the tube in its axial direction. When
unchecked, this force tends to cause the tube to “creep” or
move forward. A pump must have some type of mechanism
to counter this force. In addition, is must give customers the
ability to change the tubing quickly, to use the same pump
with a wide variety of tube diameters and materials, and to
stack more than one pump onto a motor.
8.3 Design Solution
The peristaltic pump provides a novel solution to today’s
customer needs. In this design a Rotor Assembly consists of
two stainless steel rotors which sandwich three rollers
between ball bearings. The Rotor Assembly is rotated by a
Rotor Shaft, driven by a pump motor. The Rotor Assembly is
supported by a pump base. A stator is mounted to the Base
and acts as a tubing compression surface for peristaltic
pumping of fluid when in the closed position. In addition, the
tight fit of the mating areas of the Stator and the Lower Shield
(also mounted to the Base) acts to fully enclose the pump
region. This enclosure prevents splashing of fluid in the event
that the tubing fails and fluid leaks.

Because of the back tab and groove found in the Rotor Shaft
design, pumps can be stacked one of top of another and
attached to a common pump motor. Only one motor needs to
be purchased to pump fluid between several different
containers.
The Latch Assembly of the pump allows the Stator to be
easily opened and closed, allowing for quick tubing changes.
Push a spring-loaded area on the Latch to open the Stator.
Push the Stator shut and it snaps into place. The pump
dimensions are set to allow pumping of tubing with a broad
range of sizes. A Clamp Screw actuates a Clamp Plate. This
plate pushes the tubing against two walls in the Lower
Shield, acting to prevent the tubing from creeping. The
Clamp Screw and Clamp Plate are designed with sufficient
travel to prevent “creeping” in a broad range of tube sizes.
8.4 Stacking More than Two Pumps
Optional mounting screws are available to stack two pumps.
However, the number of pumps that can be stacked is limited
only by the motor power available. In general, up to
1
⁄
20
horsepower (38 watts) of motor power is required to
operate each pump up to 600 RPM.
