A disposable single-piston dual-action reciprocating pump part includes a single piston, an output port, and a balloon damper. The output port is configured for outputting fluid pumped by the single piston. The balloon damper is fitted in the output port, and the balloon damper is configured to suppress a pulsation in a flow rate of the outputted fluid.

A method for operating a double-action piston pump of an application system for applying a fluid medium to a substrate, wherein the piston pump has a piston which is movable between a first reversal point and a second reversal point for delivering the fluid medium, wherein on reaching the first reversal point and the second reversal point, the movement direction of the piston is reversed, wherein during an output period, the fluid medium is output by means of an output device, and during an interruption period, an output of the fluid medium by means of the output device is interrupted, wherein during the interruption period, the movement direction of the piston is reversed, wherein on reversal of the movement direction during the interruption period, the piston is situated at an intermediate position between the first reversal point and the second reversal point.

Disclosed is a piston pump for a brake system installed in a bore of a modulator block communicating with an inlet port and a discharge port, wherein the piston pump includes: a cylinder unit provided to reciprocate within the bore; a piston unit having one end fixed and the other end dividing the inside of the cylinder unit into a first chamber and a second chamber and configured to expand or reduce the internal spaces of the first chamber and the second chamber by reciprocating movement of the cylinder unit; a first inlet valve installed in the cylinder unit to open and close an one-way flow of fluid from the inlet port to the first chamber; a second inlet valve installed in the cylinder unit to open and close an one-way flow of fluid from the inlet port to the second chamber; and an outlet valve to open and close an one-way flow of fluid from the first chamber or the second chamber to the discharge port.

An injection assembly configured to supply an additive from a reservoir to a fluid in a pipe has a pipe portion and an injection pump. The injection pump has a linear motor comprising a stator and an armature reciprocatingly driven by the stator, and a pump portion comprising an additive inlet chamber. A piston coupled to the armature is configured to reciprocate in said inlet chamber, thereby alternatingly compressing and decompressing a volume of said inlet chamber, an additive outlet chamber in fluid communication with the pipe portion, and a bypass channel between the inlet and outlet chambers.
