  • Publication number: 20220325706
    Abstract: An electrically-actuated linear pump includes a linear actuator housing coupled to a screw housing. A rod is configured to linearly translate within screw housing and the linear actuator housing, the rod includes a threaded portion disposed axially between a first plunger portion and a second plunger portion. A linear actuator is disposed within the linear actuator housing and includes a drive mechanism in meshed engagement with the threaded portion of the rod, the meshed engagement operable to linearly translate the rod, the linear actuator being electrically-actuated. The pump includes a first fluid end and a second fluid end disposed opposite the first fluid end, each fluid end configured to receive and discharge a fluid. Translation of the rod toward the first fluid end discharges the fluid from the first fluid end and simultaneously draws the fluid into the second fluid end.

  • Publication number: 20210190053
    Abstract: A reciprocating pump assembly includes a fluid end section having a pressure chamber and a plunger bore that fluidly communicates with the pressure chamber. The reciprocating pump assembly includes a plunger configured to be held within the plunger bore of the fluid end section, and a linear actuator operatively connected to the plunger such that the linear actuator is configured to reciprocate the plunger within the plunger bore during operation of the reciprocating pump to thereby pump fluid through the fluid end section.
