Abstract
A roller pump including a pump head operably connected to be driven by a pump drive, wherein the pump head includes: a pump stator; a pump rotor disposed to rotate within the pump stator, wherein the pump rotor includes one or more rollers, wherein each roller is connected to a respective roller block that is moveable radially with respect to a central axis of the pump head; an occlusion adjustment mechanism, connected to the roller block of each roller, wherein the occlusion adjustment mechanism operates to move each roller block radially with respect to the central axis of the pump head in order to compress and partially occlude a compressible fluid conduit disposed within the raceway; and a sensor arrangement configured to measure a pressure exerted by the roller block of at least one roller when the compressible fluid conduit is compressed by one or more of the rollers.
