12V NKP Mini Self-priming Peristaltic Pump (5W, Silicone Tube)
= Compact DC Peristaltic Pump for Precise Liquid Transfer =
This NKP series micro peristaltic pump uses a rotating roller to squeeze a silicone tube, moving liquids without any contact between the pump mechanism and the fluid . It is self-priming and can run dry without damage, making it suitable for applications like water sampling, dosing, and ink circulation .
SelfPriming & Fluid Isolation The pump can self-prime and the fluid only touches the silicone tubing, preventing contamination .
Compact & Low Power - Consumes only 5W and has a small footprint, making it suitable for portable and embedded projects .
Operating Voltage: 12V DC (also compatible with 6V-24V depending on the specific model) .
Flow Rate: 10 to 60+ ml/min depending on the motor and tubing size (e.g., S04 tubing gives ~10ml/min, S08 tubing provides ~60ml/min) .
Typical Current: Around 0.25A .
The pump typically uses 3 rotors to minimize pulsation in the flow .
