A mechanical pump includes a motor with an output shaft, a cam coupled to the output shaft for rotating the cam when the motor is energized, and a driver with spaced ledges engaging the cam and driven linearly by the rotating cam. The piston is driven by the driver. A cylinder receives the piston therein and includes an inlet section for drawing fluid into the cylinder and an outlet section for pumping fluid out of the cylinder as the piston reciprocates in the cylinder.

An apparatus for the automated filling of cartridges of e-vapor devices may include a filling drum configured to receive at least one cartridge of an e-vapor device. The apparatus may additionally include a needle assembly including at least one hypodermic needle. The needle assembly is configured to transition between a lowered state and a raised state. The lowered state is where the hypodermic needle is moved down into the cartridge, while the raised state is where the hypodermic needle is lifted up and away from the cartridge. The apparatus may further include a pump assembly configured to pump a pre-vapor formulation into the cartridge when the needle assembly is in the lowered state. The pump assembly may include a variable amplitude cam system configured to adjust an amount of the pre-vapor formulation for pumping to the cartridge without changing start and stop times for the pumping.

Displacement control device for variably adjusting the displacement of an axial piston hydraulic pump including a rotary shaft rotatable around a shaft axis. A torque can be applied for rotating the rotary shaft to open and close servo pressure lines to adjust the displacement volume of the axial piston hydraulic pump. Concentric to the shaft axis in a mid-portion of the rotary shaft a detent sleeve is positioned having an abutment area onto which, in the neutral position, a sliding element abuts. The detent sleeve, in operating conditions is rotatably fixed with the rotary shaft and turns with the rotary shaft and for neutral position adjustments in non-operating conditions, the detent sleeve and the rotary shaft are detachable from each other such that the rotary shaft can be turned relative and independently within the detent sleeve, which is held in its neutral position by the sliding element.
