Introduction 1 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 tu

Setting Up the Pump(s) 3 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 (

3 Setting Up the Pump(s) 3.3.4 Using Your Own Adapter Plate Figure 3-12 shows the dimensions of the front of the pump and the rear of the pump. These diagrams enable you to locate and drill out the proper size holes so you can mount the pump to a motor using your own adapter plate. Note: The rotor shaft extends out 0.563 beyond the back surface of the pump. Figure 3-12. Dimensions of the Pump 3-8
