Peristaltic Pumps

Quiet, efficient motor–gearbox solutions designed for precise peristaltic flow control.

Precision Motion for Peristaltic Pump Systems

Miniature motors and gearboxes play a vital role in the operation of peristaltic pumps used across medical, laboratory, industrial, and environmental applications.

By compressing flexible tubing to move fluids, peristaltic pumps provide contamination-free transfer with precise flow control.

Rotalink’s compact motion systems enable these pumps to deliver consistent performance, smooth operation, and reliability in even the smallest devices.
