Release Date:2026-05-12

Advantages: High pressure (up to 35 MPa+), high volumetric efficiency (92%–98%), stable flow, strong self-priming capability, and suitability for high-viscosity or corrosive fluids. Disadvantages: Extremely stringent requirements for fluid cleanliness (ISO 4406 class 18/15 or better), complex structure, high cost, difficult maintenance, and relatively high operating noise.
