These innovations are transforming home beauty technology, allowing users to access professional-grade treatments in portable, wearable formats.
2. How Miniature Pumps Power Innovation in Wearable Technology
Precision Fluid Control for High-Performance Wearables
Wearable devices require precise control over gas and liquid flow. Miniature pumps equipped with pulse modulation and PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) regulation achieve microliter-scale flow accuracy (mL/min), ensuring stable performance in medical, sports, and beauty devices.
Low Power Consumption for Extended Battery Life
Since most wearables are battery-powered, energy efficiency is critical. Brushless DC motors (BLDC) combined with PWM control allow miniature pumps to run efficiently at ultra-low power (<1W), extending battery life and improving usability.
Lightweight and Ultra-Quiet Operation
To maintain wearable comfort, miniature pumps must be compact and lightweight. For example, BODENFLO’s BD series miniature pumps weigh only 14 grams, making integration seamless. Additionally, advanced vibration isolation and noise-reduction designs enable quiet operation, reducing sound levels.
