Piston and Cylinder for Hlpc Pumps

Piston and Cylinder for Hlpc Pumps

In HPLC systems, pistons and cylinders are critical components responsible for creating precise fluid displacement in reciprocating pumps. As the piston moves within the cylinder, it draws and dispenses ultra-small volumes of sample or solvent at controlled high pressures.

Ceramic versions of these components outperform metal or polymer counterparts by offering, superior wear resistance under continuous motion, inertness to aggressive mobile phases (acidic, basic, or organic solvents), tight sealing with sapphire or ceramic check valves for micro-flow control and noncontaminating performance critical for analytical accuracy.

CeramForge pistons and cylinders are designed with ultra-fine tolerances to ensure smooth, lowfriction movement and long service life—ideal for both binary and quaternary pump systems.
