Kinitics Automation Announces KPP05 Piston Pump

Kinitics Automation announces the availability of the KPP05 Piston Pump, a shape memory alloy-based positive displacement pump that uses proprietary Bundled Wire technology to deliver a precision stroke. Driven by the company’s KLA05 Linear Actuator, the product requires AC or DC electrical power to operate, and allows for displacement or pressure control when additional sensors are used. This fluid power product offers the functionality of a motor, pump, and proportional valve in a single unit.

The Kinitics KPP05 Piston Pump is compatible with a range of fluids and provides a high pressure-to-size ratio. Equipped with a standard 25 mm bore, the KPP05 Piston Pump offers a number of features:

  • Piston positional accuracy of +/- 5 µm
  • Rated pressure to 10 Bar (145 psi)
  • Displacement up to 3.3 cc (0.2 cu. in.)
  • Flow rates up to 10 LPH (2.6 GPH).
  • Configurable ports
  • IP67 environmental protection

The KPP05 Piston Pump may also be configured with alternate bore sizes when higher pressures or displacements are required. The product can also be equipped with a variety of accessories, including a range of mounting brackets and an adjustable home position switch.

Potential applications for the Kinitics Automation KPP05 Piston Pump include acting as a master cylinder for brake and clutch control, a hydraulic pump for grippers and clamps, and as a precision metering pump.

Also introduced with the KPP05 Piston Pump is the Kinitics KCD125 Controller, which allows the actuator to be used in anything from the simplest to the most elaborate of control strategies. The Kinitics KCD125 Controller utilizes 6-24 VDC power and interfaces with standard control hardware using discrete I/O. A 4-20 mA input is provided for control using pressure and/or displacement feedback strategies. The KPP05 Piston Pump can also be used with the Kinitics Automation KCA020 Controller, which utilizes single-phase 120 VAC 60 Hz power.
