SMC Liquid Pumps
A liquid pump is a pump that can control liquids of various types. Various pumps are available that differ according to size or application. Many types are small and do not require much installation space. Applications include chemical analyzers, medical devices, liquid conveyance, printer nozzle cleaning and gas pumps, and liquids can be controlled as device embedded parts. Liquid pumps with various characteristics are available. For example, in the case of a piezoelectric pump equipped with a piezoelectric bimorph resonator, the pump becomes a direct drive source that results in low power consumption. This type is small and lightweight, and does not generate electromagnetic noise. Also, an important point is that most liquid pumps are self-priming and do not require priming water, which enables the suction even of liquids that contain gas with no problems.
