A piston pump assembly for a hydraulic power vehicle braking system including an electric motor, a planetary gear, a worm gear, and a piston displaceable in a cylinder. For an anti-rotation protection of the piston in the cylinder, the piston includes a ring rotationally-fixed thereto by a form fit and connected thereto by forming, including semicircular grooves at its outer circumference, in which cylinder pins engage, which are situated fixed axially-parallel in the cylinder.

A modular multi-channel syringe pump assembly includes a chassis in which are mounted two or more parallel syringe banks. Each syringe bank includes a syringe for retaining a fluid in a chamber with a syringe plunger for drawing fluid into or forcing fluid out of the chamber. A syringe drive actuator includes a syringe drive motor and a mechanical linkage for activating the syringe. At least one position sensor detects syringe position and generates a position signal corresponding to the syringe position. A controller receives the position signal for each syringe bank and generates control signals for operation of the two or more syringe banks.

A direct drive air pump has a motor and a pumping mechanism connected to an end of the motor, and further has an auxiliary pumping mechanism connected to the other end of the motor, and a tube connected with the pumping mechanism and the auxiliary pumping mechanism. In each one of the pumping mechanism and the auxiliary pumping mechanism, a cylindrical body has a top plate having an exhaust hole. A single O-ring is used to seal between the cylindrical body and a cylindrical cover for reducing the sealing portions. A valve block of a non-return valve can co-work with a spring for opening and closing the exhaust hole. The valve block is soft for closing the exhaust hole well and reducing the noise of collision between the valve block and the top plate.

A linear compressor includes a piston that reciprocates on a spring central axis extending in an axial direction and a spring that axially elastically supports the piston. The spring includes a plurality of spring strands. The spring strands each include a spring body spirally extending along a spring central axis C, a front spring link forming an end of the spring body by extending from a side of the spring body, and a rear spring link forming the other end of the spring body by extending from the other side of the spring body. Of the spring strands, the front spring links are disposed axially in the same plane P1 and the rear spring links are disposed axially in the same plane P2.

Apparatus that prevent side load in hydraulic override pumps are disclosed herein. An example apparatus includes a lever rotatably mounted to a support, a pump cylinder rotatable about a first end of the pump cylinder, and a pump rod operatively coupled to the lever to move within the pump cylinder based on rotation of the lever, wherein the pump cylinder rotates when the pump rod moves within the pump cylinder.

An example pumping system includes a head having an opening and an injection port. The head is for holding content to be forced through the injection port. A bladder is within the head. The bladder is between the content and the opening. A plunger is configured to move through the opening of the head and to apply force within the bladder. The plunger may be movable in a discharge stroke to force the bladder against the content and thereby force the content through the injection port.

A rapidly modulated hydraulic supply is disclosed. The rapidly modulated hydraulic supply can include a chamber for receiving fluid. The rapidly modulated hydraulic supply can also include a displacement member operable to displace the fluid from the chamber. In addition, the rapidly modulated hydraulic supply can include a flow modulation system operable to vary the flow rate of the fluid output from the chamber. A first flow rate corresponds to a first output pressure, and is different from a second flow rate corresponding to a second output pressure for a like movement of the displacement member.

There is described a patch pump comprising a cartridge, a power source, a pump system, a drug delivery device and a control system configured to operate in particular the pump system and the drug delivery device. The pump system comprises, on the one hand, a pump having a pump housing containing a pump piston and a valve piston and, on the other hand, a pump drive comprising a piston motor and a valve motor for driving the pump piston and the valve piston independently from each other through a first and a second transmission. The drug delivery device comprises a transdermal delivery system having a needle actuation mechanism configured for transdermal insertion of a cannula.

An air pump apparatus is provided which uses an electric actuator that can electrically operate a pneumatic device such as a suction pad or air chuck. The air pump apparatus includes an air cylinder having a built-in piston, and an electric actuator configured to move the piston linearly and relatively to the air cylinder, using the electric motor as a drive source. Air under negative pressure and/or positive pressure generated by the electric actuator causing the piston of the air cylinder to move linearly is used to operate a pneumatic device.
