Provided are an elastomeric-hose-compressing part, a cartridge, and a roller assembly for a pump head of a peristaltic pump, and a pump head for a peristaltic pump. The elastomeric-hose-compressing part includes a surface for compressing the elastomeric hose which has an arcuate shape along its length direction, wherein the surface for compressing the elastomeric hose is provided with flanges oppositely arranged on two side portions of the elastomeric-hose-compressing part in the width direction, the width direction of the elastomeric-hose-compressing part is perpendicular to the length direction, and the surface for compressing the elastomeric hose is formed by a continuous surface or by a plurality of surfaces sequentially arranged along the length direction. By providing flanges at two sides of the surface for compressing the elastomeric hose, the elastomeric-hose-compressing part as disclosed may reliably limit the elastomeric hose between the surface for compressing the elastomeric hose and the roller assembly of the peristaltic pump, which thus reduces abnormal abrasion of the elastomeric hose.

A peristaltic pump can include a chassis and a chassis retaining portion forming a cavity. The pump can also include a rotor, a cover, and a linkage. The rotor can be disposed within the cavity such that tubing can be held between the rotor and the chassis and/or the chassis retaining portion. The linkage can couple the cover to the chassis. The linkage can include an arm. When opening the cover, the arm can pivot such that the chassis moves away from the chassis retaining portion to widen the cavity. When closing the cover, the arm can pivot such that the chassis moves toward the chassis retaining portion. When closed, a stop can restrict further movement of a corresponding member toward the chassis retaining portion.

Embodiments of an alloy that can be resistant to cracking. In some embodiments, the alloy can be advantageous for use as a hardfacing alloys, in both a diluted and undiluted state. Certain microstructural, thermodynamic, and performance criteria can be met by embodiments of the alloys that may make them advantageous for hardfacing.

A tubing assembly is provided that can comprise a plurality of tubes or lumens that can be disposed within a head of a peristaltic pump. The tubing assembly can provide a flow rate or volume capacity that is generally equal to or greater than that achieved with a comparable prior art tube while operating at higher pressures than that possible using the prior art tube. Further, in accordance with some embodiments, the tubing assembly can achieve a longer working life than a comparable prior art tube, and the load on the pump motor can be reduced such that the pump life is increased and/or a larger pump motor is not required to achieve such advantageous results.

Disclosed herein is a peristaltic pump for medical applications comprising a motor, a rotor coupled to the motor, a housing in which the rotor is arranged and an opening and closing mechanism comprising a tube pressuring portion, a slider and a pivotable cover coupled to the housing and the slider. The opening and closing mechanism is accentuated by the pivotable cover, which pivotable cover is connected to the tube pressuring portion via elastic elements. The elastic elements are thereby connected via at least one adjustable element so that the tension or pretension in the elastic element can be adjusted to tube types and material, to the viscosity of the pumped fluid and to the amount of fluid that needs to be pumped.

The present invention involves a rotary peristaltic pump and associated method employing the relaxation of pressure on flexible tubing between the rotor and stator of the pump to restore the rotor to a start angle while a valve on the output of the pump is closed to avoid progress of fluid through the system. Three different implementations of the pump and method are presented including reciprocating the stator, reciprocating the rotor, and retracting the idler rollers of the rotor into the rotor to relieve the pressure on the flexible tubing. A controller ensures the appropriate switching and timing of the valve and rotor of the pump. The pump and associated method are directed to the precision dispensing of pharmaceutical fluids into containers, including containers held in container nests.

An occlusive peristaltic pump type fluid pump that includes a pump rotor rotatable in the fluid pump. The fluid pump includes a base, a first cover element fastened to an upper side of the base and a second cover element fastened to a lower side of the base, and at least one pressure element accommodated in the base and including a pressure member for occluding a fluid-guiding hollow conductor portion against a rounded bearing surface on a housing portion of the fluid pump. The at least one pressure element is linearly guided in the effective direction of an occlusion force by the first cover element and the second cover element.

Disclosed is a fluid isolating pump. The fluid isolating pump includes a rotating cage, one or more roller assemblies mounted on the rotating cage, a cam plate, and a non-rotating central shaft. The cage includes a front plate and a back plate connected by multiple connecting rods. Each roller assembly is rotatably attached to a corresponding connecting rod of the cage. Each roller assembly includes one or more arms rotatably attached to the connecting rod, a connecting bar coupled to the one or more arms, one or more levers rotatably attached to the connecting rod, one or more suspensions, and a roller. Each suspension is coupled to at least one arm and to at least one lever. The roller is coupled to the one or more levers. The cam plate includes multiple openings having a first end and a second end. The connecting rod of each roller assembly is configured to slide from the first end of the opening to the second end of a corresponding opening.
