A pumping system for fracking fluid is designed to provide nearly constant flow rate. The pumping system includes a set of linear actuator pumping units, each driven by at least one electric motor. Each pumping unit includes a hollow threaded shaft driven by the linear actuator, two hollow cylinders fixed to an interior of the hollow shaft, and hollow pistons in each of the hollow cylinders. The hollow cylinders and hollow pistons form two pumping chambers. A first pumping chamber expels fluid when the linear actuator is moving in a first direction and a second pumping chamber that expels fluid when the linear actuator is moving in an opposite direction. The speeds of the actuators are coordinated such that a total flow rate of the pumping system is substantially constant.

The present invention relates to an actuator system with a magnetic lead screw, comprises a magnetic rotor and a translator cylinder, the translator cylinder comprises a magnetic stator, the translator cylinder has a closed first end and a second end confined by a lid, the lid having a shaft opening for a shaft coupled to the magnetic rotor, wherein the magnetic rotor, when inserted in the translator cylinder, is arranged to translate a linear movement of the translator cylinder into a rotational movement of the magnetic rotor by using magnetic flux interacting between the magnetic stator and the magnetic rotor, said rotational movements is being transferred through a shaft, the lid with a shaft opening arranged for receiving the shaft, wherein the shaft is arranged to make both the linear and the rotational movement in the shaft opening, the lid being arranged for confining the second end of the translator cylinder, the translator cylinder confined by the lid forms, when divided by the magnetic rotor, a first chamber with a first volume and a second chamber with a second volume, wherein the first volume and the second volume changes as a function of the linear movement. The invention also relates to a method of operating an actuator system with a magnetic lead screw.

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.

Disclosed is a piston pump for a brake system installed in a bore of a modulator block communicating with an inlet port and a discharge port, wherein the piston pump includes: a cylinder unit provided to reciprocate within the bore; a piston unit having one end fixed and the other end dividing the inside of the cylinder unit into a first chamber and a second chamber and configured to expand or reduce the internal spaces of the first chamber and the second chamber by reciprocating movement of the cylinder unit; a first inlet valve installed in the cylinder unit to open and close an one-way flow of fluid from the inlet port to the first chamber; a second inlet valve installed in the cylinder unit to open and close an one-way flow of fluid from the inlet port to the second chamber; and an outlet valve to open and close an one-way flow of fluid from the first chamber or the second chamber to the discharge port.

A hydraulic unit is provided that includes a ball screw, which is driven by a servomotor, and both are configured to raise and lower two hydraulic sleeves of two hydraulic piston pumps, mounted in parallel and separately from one another. This is to draw hydraulic oil from an oil reservoir and pump this pressurized oil into one or more hydraulic pressure accumulators. When the hydraulic pressure accumulators are full, there can be an increase in hydraulic pressure activating a pressure sensor that can control the halting of the servomotor.
