Pump and Compressor Technologies: Comparison, Performance and Applications
Compare piston, diaphragm, rotary vane and peristaltic pump technologies. Clear performance data on pressure, vacuum and flow rates.
Piston PumpsPiston technology has remained one of the most popular and most widely used pump and compressor technologies in the world. Discover the highest-quality WOB-L® and articulating piston technologies designed for a broad range of demanding pressure and vacuum applications. | Rotary Vane PumpsRotary vane vacuum pumps and compressors use centrifugal force to compress the volume of the medium in order to increase pressure or create vacuum. | Diaphragm PumpsDiaphragm pumps operate by reducing the volume of the medium through a flexible membrane driven by a crank. These positive displacement pumps can pump gas and liquid. |
Linear Diaphragm PumpsLinear diaphragm and vibrating armature pumps utilize electromagnetic forces for the power transmission on a diaphragm or piston. | Peristaltic PumpsPeristaltic pumps are a type of positive displacement pump that move the liquid through a tube using a series of rollers that squeeze it against the pump housing. | Brushless DC Pump TechnologyThomas offers the broadest range of pumps with Brushless DC (BLDC) motor technology. |
