DriveSure is highly adaptable, offering 24V and 48V dc options, a 51:1 control ratio between 408-8 rpm, and directly accepts market-standard analogue control signals. With DriveSure, OEM engineers can bring products to market faster and with less engineering cost by eliminating the time, design uncertainty and risks associated with the separate specification of pump motor, gearbox and drive.

Driving down complexity

Building on Watson-Marlow's extensive experience of providing peristaltic cased pumps, DriveSure for the first time brings a range of panel-mount brushless DC motor gearboxes and controllers as a package. This innovative range offers market leading speed control range and precision, guaranteed torque and long service life ideal for OEMs wishing to panel-mount Watson-Marlow’s proven pumpheads, including the 102R, 114, 313D, 501RL and 520R series for a flow range from 0.1 to 6100 ml/min. It also interfaces with the market-standard analogue control signals.

DriveSure helps OEMs to reduce their time-to-market significantly, so providing valuable competitive gain. Furthermore, the inherent risks of buying various system components from different manufacturers are eliminated, with the safety net of a single, comprehensive two year warranty.
