precise pumps - smart solutions. 

HNP Mikrosysteme offers pumps that dose the smallest amounts of liquid extremely precisely. Our well established micro annular gear pumps allow smallest dosing volumes from 0.25 µl and volume flow rates from 1 µl/h to 1152 ml/min.
Applications of mzr®-pumps are in laboratory automation, pharmaceutical production, medical and analytical technology, sample preparation and more.
At Actuator 2022 we will show a new design of a magnetic shape memory alloy pump prototype for volume flows in a range up to 1 ml/min. This msm®-pump consists of a replaceable pump head and a fixed drive unit, which forms a travelling cavity on the magnetic shape memory alloy stick by a rotating magnet.
Applications of msm®-pumps can be found in bio-, chip and medical technology, where a disposable pump element is mandatory.

The SMA-network is a platform for companies currently working with shape memory alloys or simply those interested in this exciting field of technology.The main goal is to establish SMAs and their advantages in new markets as “multi-functional material” through innovative processes, products and services. Such a network is, however, only successful through the active exchange of knowledge and experience from its partners.
