The 16 watt version is also available with an operating voltage of 12 V. A wide range of gear ratios from 12.80 to 104 can create output speeds from 46 to 455 RPMs to provide the versatility necessary to meet a wide range of peristaltic pump requirement. Professional encoders are available on some versions from 1 to 48 pulses for accurate flow pump rate control, and service life is rated at up to 2000 hours. The gear motor mates easily with many types and sizes of peristaltic pumps via a variety of face plate configuration options.

The new gear motor is offered with a variety of customized adaptations to meet specific requirements. Options include variations on shaft diameter and shape, gear material, ratio/speed value, connections, mounting options centering pilot diameters, and number of encoder pulses.
