A dual pumping fluid pump which significantly reduces vibration and noise generation. When a cam installed on a rotating shaft of a single electric motor is rotated, a pair of first and second diaphragms installed in connection to an eccentric shaft portion formed on both the left and right sides of the cam alternatingly rise and descend in opposite directions and cause first and second intake check valves and first and second discharge check valves provided on a fluid passage box integrally and connectedly installed on the top surface of a pump housing to open or close first and second intake holes and first and second discharge holes to admit fluid through a fluid inlet and simultaneously discharge fluid through a fluid outlet, so that the simultaneous effects of the intake pressure and discharge pressure of fluid causes pressure balancing to occur.

Hydraulic pumping system with piston displacement sensing and control

A hydraulic pumping system can include a hydraulic actuator with a magnet that displaces with a piston, and a sensor that continuously detects a position of the magnet. A ferromagnetic wall of the hydraulic actuator is positioned between the magnet and the sensor. A hydraulic pumping method can include incrementally lowering a lower stroke extent of a rod string reciprocation over multiple reciprocation cycles of the rod string, and automatically varying the lower stroke extent or an upper stroke extent of the rod string reciprocation, in response to a measured vibration. Another hydraulic pumping method can include solving a wave equation in the rod string, and automatically varying a reciprocation speed of the rod string in response to a change in work performed during reciprocation cycles of the hydraulic actuator or a change in detected force versus displacement in different reciprocation cycles of the hydraulic actuator.
