When you're setting up an industrial pumps flow control system, the link between your pump drive and computer can be the difference between manual tweaking and automated oversight. If you own a Masterflex L/S digital process pump drive, the Cinch Connection USB Kit is the accessory that creates that link. This review focuses on that kit alone, not the pump drive itself.
Quick Verdict
At USD 89.56, this is a focused accessory for an existing drive. It comes as a new Masterflex unit sourced from the United States, and it's intended for the L/S Digital Process Pump Drive. If you need USB connectivity for that drive, this is a clean way to get it.
Who It Suits
This kit is for technicians and engineers who already have an L/S digital process pump drive and want to connect it to a computer for control or data logging. It's not a standalone product; it assumes you have the pump drive as part of your flow control setup.
What Stands Out from the Listed Details
The product name clearly identifies it as a kit for the L/S Digital Process Pump Drive, so its purpose is clear. It's a new, unmodified item with a United States country of origin. The Cinch 30-3006-6 designation gives the kit a specific part identity within the Masterflex lineup.
Meaningful Trade-Offs
This purchase covers only the USB connection kit, not the pump drive itself. To use it, you'll need the L/S pump drive and a computer with a USB port. If your flow control setup relies on a different connection method, this kit won't cover that-it's specifically a USB version.
Masterflex L/S Digital Process Pump Drive Cinch USB Kit
Choose this kit if you want a Masterflex-branded USB connection option for your L/S digital pump drive. The trade-off is that it's only a connection kit, so you're not getting a pump drive-it only makes sense as an addition to hardware you already own.
Bottom Line
For the right buyer, this is a practical add-on. It solves the specific problem of connecting your L/S pump drive over USB, and at $89.56, it's a modest cost to complete your flow control setup. If you already have the pump drive, this kit is a straightforward way to bring it into the USB-connected world.
