A device including a valve array which is adapted to allow and block a fluid flow, wherein the valve array includes: a fluid channel; a valve seating; and a closing body, for example a rotationally symmetrical or spherical closing body, which is arranged in the fluid channel. The valve array is configured to allow a fluid flow when the closing body is lifted off the valve seating, and to prevent a fluid flow when the closing body rests against the valve seating. The valve seating is formed by a valve seating body, for example an annular valve seating body, which is arranged in or on the fluid channel.

Valve assemblies and related pumps and methods may include an insert disposed in an internal flow path of a casing where an outer surface of the insert is fixedly engaged with an inner surface the casing with fluid sealing. The insert includes protrusions, each individually extending into the internal flow path of the casing and converging at an apex of the insert to define a cage in which the restriction element is configured to move axially through the internal flow path.

An overflow valve is built into a metering head for a metering pump used with aggressive media and under high pressure. The overflow valve follows the suction valve or expands it, and directly lowers a critical pressure that occurs in the metering head, using an overflow line. In this way, the safety of the arrangement is improved, and at the same time, less construction space is used up by the additional valve.

According to at least one aspect, the present disclosure provides a piston pump comprising: a piston unit configured to reciprocate by driving of a motor cam; a sleeve unit disposed to surround at least a part of the piston unit and having a space in which brake oil is stored; and a check valve unit facing the sleeve unit and discharging the brake oil to an outside of the sleeve unit when a pressure of the brake oil increases, wherein the piston unit includes a first piston having a first end in contact with the motor cam and reciprocating, a second piston having a first end coupled to a second end of the first piston and configured to press the brake oil, and a spring cap coupled to a second end of the second piston and disposed to accommodate an inlet spring therein.

In a piston pump, for example, a piston sub assembly includes a columnar plunger that lies along an axial direction, a cap that is fixed with the plunger to cover an adjacent region between a first end surface at one end in the axial direction of the plunger and the first end surface at a first outer circumferential surface of the plunger, and provided with an intake passage extending from an inlet on an outer side of the first outer circumferential surface to an outlet on an outer side of the first end surface outside the plunger, and a first valve seat of a first intake check valve located at the outlet, and a seal member that is a member different from the cap and that prevents leakage of hydraulic fluid from the first chamber through a gap between the first cylinder and the piston sub assembly.

One or more systems are disclosed for a diaphragm pump. The diaphragm pump includes a valve inlet portion elongated in a first direction along a longitudinal axis, and a valve outlet portion coupled to the valve inlet portion. A ball check valve is arranged between the valve inlet portion and the valve outlet portion. The ball check valve includes a sealing ring arranged over the valve inlet portion, and a ball arranged over the sealing ring. The ball is configured to move between a seated position and an unseated position, wherein a central axis of the ball extends through a center of the ball and in the first direction, wherein the central axis is coincident with the longitudinal axis when the ball is in the seated position, and wherein the central axis is offset from the longitudinal axis when the ball is in the unseated position.

A double-acting reciprocating pump comprises a piston assembly comprising at least one piston disposed within at least one piston cylinder for undergoing opposite reciprocal movements within said at least one piston cylinder, an upper pump chamber disposed above the piston, and a lower pump chamber disposed below the piston. A fluid inlet is fluidically connected to one of the upper and lower pump chambers so as to supply fluid thereto, and a fluid outlet dispensing port is defined within a lower end portion of the double-acting reciprocating pump assembly for permitting fluid to be dispensed out from the double-acting reciprocating pump assembly during both of the opposite reciprocal movements.
