In 2025, China’s role as a global supplier of miniature pumps is under pressure. The United States has proposed import tariffs up to 145% on mechanical and electromechanical products from China. These changes have led to slower customs clearance, increased logistics complexity, and higher landed costs—forcing many OEMs to reconsider their sourcing strategies. For pump […]

Diaphragm vs. Rotary Pump: Which Is Better for Portable Gas Sampling?

Diaphragm and rotary pumps comparison for portable gas sampling – BODENFLO miniature pumps in hand

Many OEM engineers assume that any miniature pump will suffice for portable gas sampling. But when a device begins to fail—showing signs of unstable flow, poor vacuum, excessive noise, or even gas contamination—the issue often comes down to one critical oversight: selecting the wrong pump type. In compact analyzers, leak detectors, and environmental sensors, choosing […]

Double-Head Gas Diaphragm Pumps: Parallel vs. Series Configuration – What’s the Difference?

Comparison of parallel and series configurations in double-head diaphragm pumps

When a system underperforms—delivering low airflow or failing to reach the required pressure—the issue is often related to the pump configuration. Many engineers overlook the importance of choosing between parallel and series setups when using a double-head gas diaphragm pump. This mistake can lead to energy waste, premature wear, and unstable performance. As someone deeply […]
