The Disc Pump delivers unrivaled pneumatic performance and enables innovation wherever precision control of small volumes is critical. These pumps are ideal for applications in medical and life sciences, environmental monitoring, including microfluidics, pipetting, wearable devices, and portable sensing technologies.
The Disc Pump is a revolutionary, ultrasonic, pneumatic piezoelectric micropump that generates pressure or vacuum in a small, silent, vibration-free form factor. Designed for highly accurate, ultra-smooth, flow control, Disc Pump delivers unrivalled pneumatic performance and enables innovation wherever precision control of small volumes is critical. While not intended to flow liquids directly, its infinite turn down ratio and pulsation-free flow allow the user to control liquids indirectly via an air-over-liquid method. The disc pump allows you to generate and control a head pressure (air) with unprecedented resolution, resulting in impeccable precision liquid dispensing or displacement (lab-on a chip). Each pump is 100% functionally tested for performance and designed using materials that ensure consistent long-term performance.

1 Represents onset time of performance degradation. Pump will continue to operate beyond this point at reduced performance level. See TG005 Disc Pump Wear Characteristics for more information on pump performance over life.
Watch this video to learn how the Disc Pump functions without relying on the bulk compression of air within a cavity.
Traditional pump technologies typically operate at speeds up to 50 Hz (3000 RPM). The Disc Pump cycles more than 400 times faster, at 21,000 Hz (1.26 M RPM). The resulting airflow is ultra-smooth and creates negligible pressure pulsations within the System. Reference Technical Guide TG013, Pulsation Free Output, for more information. Even though the disc pump cannot pump liquids directly, its set point response and pulsation free output enable it to move liquids very accurately and precisely using Pressure Driven Flow.
The Disc Pump is enabling markets to evolve with smaller, quieter, higher performing devices. Combined with a sensor and electronics, it is an all-in-one pressure-regulator solution (view Smart Pump Module), which eliminates the need for other system components, often saving not just weight, but cost.
Be one of the first to test this NEW technology with a versatile “plug and play” kit that enables control of one to five disc pumps, together with solenoid valves. With a user-friendly GUI, easily-accessible software, on-board pressure sensors, and integrated valve drivers, the kit offers advanced fluidic control and allows you to quickly create functional prototypes for a wide range of applications, from microfluidic and liquid handling systems, to medical devices, and industrial instruments.
Always verify flow calculations by experiment.
