Selecting the right motor for
miniature pump applications
Proper motor selection is critical to the efficient operation of miniature pumps in
demanding flow or pressure/vacuum tasks. But with the spectrum of applications
covering a huge range of different price to performance needs, the design
considerations can be complex. Dave Beckstoffer of Portescap, offers this guidance
for selecting the right motor for a given pump application.

Fportable medical devices, there are a or indeed by customising the pump, it is the pump’s
