Now, you can readily turn a stepper motor into a peristaltic pump with just a few simple 3D printed parts. The pump consists of a bracket that fits on to a standard NEMA-14 stepper motor frame.

Peristaltic pumps, also known as tube pumps or hose pumps—operate on a positive displacement mechanism, using rotating rollers or shoes to compress and release a flexible tube, thus moving the fluid ...

Among the many pump types available, piston pumps and peristaltic pumps are frequently compared due to their distinct operating mechanisms and suitability for different tasks. Image Credit ...
