A three-stage variable color paste pump, comprising: a differential pump, which includes: a rodless cavity, a rod containing cavity, and a piston rod; configuring a control valve, which comprises a valve body and a valve core, wherein the valve body is provided with a rod containing cavity opening which is in communication with the rod containing cavity; configuring a rodless cavity opening as in communication with the rodless cavity, configuring a color paste tank opening as in communication with a color paste tank, and configuring an injection outlet; configuring a channel on the valve core, moving the valve core to different positions may form three communication structures. The pump uses one differential pump to achieve three-stage injection output, thus ensuring the accuracy of the injection output of the color paste pump. The pump has a simple structure, takes up a small surface area, and is easy to use.

A reciprocating plunger pump fluid end having increased material thicknesses in typical high stress concentration areas includes locating valves in spherically segmented shaped suction and discharge bores adjacent to chamfered transition areas to provide for reduced stress concentrations, resistance to fatigue failure and erosion and ease of access for maintenance. Among other features the housing includes a valve retainer assembly integrally mounted inside the housing which includes a profile to reduce stresses in the bores and facilitate access for replacement of internal components.

An injector generator for use in geomechanical pumped storage systems includes a power end and a fluid end. The fluid end has one or more fluid chambers each having a fluid inlet and outlet that are controlled by rotary valves. The fluid end can function as a pump or as a motor driven by fluid pressure from the geomechanical storage formation.

A continuous flow pumping system which provides a continuous flow of materials out of an outlet while eliminating rough stroke shift and boom bounce. The continuous flow pumping system generally includes a container for storing a material to be dispensed such as concrete. Cylinders are fluidly connected to the container such that the materials may be alternatively pulled into the cylinders or pushed out of the cylinders. A diverter valve is connected to the container adjacent the cylinders which includes a valve inlet through which the materials may be pushed to be dispensed and a pair of blocking portions which selectively cover the cylinders and also serve to cut through the materials. By rotating the diverter valve through a plurality of positions while independently controlling the intake and exhaust strokes of the cylinders, a continuous flow of materials may be ensured across all intake/exhaust strokes of the cylinders.

A container for accommodating high-viscosity materials, such as liquid concrete. The container has at least one bearing sleeve, which extends through a wall opening and is fastened in the container wall in a liquid-tight manner. A shaft extends through the bearing sleeve in such a way that an annular gap is left open. A shaft seal, which bridges the annular gap and is made of elastomeric material, is located at the container-interior end of the bearing sleeve. A lubricant is applied to the annular gap from the container exterior. The invention is characterized in that the shaft seal has, on the side thereof radially facing the shaft, a conveying thread that supports the conveying of the lubricant in the direction of the container interior, which conveying thread advantageously communicates with the container interior via a check valve open to the container interior.

A piston pump is described for pumping a fluid. The pump includes at least one cylinder having a piston movable inside the cylinder along the longitudinal axis of the cylinder by a drive, each cylinder having at an end face a mounting flange having at least one cylinder opening, and a chamber having a volume that changes when the associated piston is moved in the cylinder. The piston pump has an inlet port for supplying and an outlet port for draining the fluid. A rotatable valve plate is arranged on the other side of the mounting flange. The mounting flange has at least one passage in the region of the inlet port and the outlet port, respectively, through which the fluid can flow between the inlet port and/or the outlet port and the other side of the mounting flange. The valve plate has fluid-transporting means by which, upon rotation of the valve plate at least one cylinder opening can be connected to a passage of the inlet and/or the outlet port.

An electric-to-hydraulic conversion machine includes an axial flux electric motor and a hydraulic pump. The motor includes a spindle, at least one rotor configured to rotate about the spindle, and at least one stator configured to drive rotation of the at least one rotor about the spindle. The hydraulic pump includes a piston block having a plurality of cylinders, a plurality of pistons each supported in one of the cylinders of the piston block, and a cam ring. The piston block is attached to the at least one rotor and is configured to rotate about the spindle with rotation of the at least one rotor. The cam ring is configured to radially drive the pistons during rotation of the piston block about the spindle, which drives a fluid flow.
