520REL low-pressure LoadSure element pumphead features large swept volume with sprung rollers for high accuracy

Chemically-resistant polyphenylene sulphide track and rotor, and stainless steel rollers and bearings

Low rotational speeds greatly increase tube life and system reliability

Clutched rotor for rapid, effortless tube loading

Rugged, tool-unlockable guard
