Abstract: A fluid spraying system includes a displacement pump configured to mount to a drive housing. A reciprocating drive is connectable to a pump rod of the displacement pump and includes a connecting rod and a drive link that receives a head of the pump rod. A tightening ring that includes threading is configured to rotate about a cylinder of the pump and shift axially along the cylinder and engage with a bottom side of the drive housing to secure the displacement pump to the drive housing.

Abstract: A displacement pump is configured to mount to a drive housing. A reciprocating drive is connectable to a pump rod of the displacement pump and includes a connecting rod and a drive link that receives a head of the pump rod. A flange projects from a pump body of the pump and a ring projects from the pump body of the pump. A portion of the drive housing is received in a gap between the flange and the ring.

Abstract: A tire uniformity testing machine includes an upper spindle including an upper rim portion, a lower spindle including a lower rim portion, and a spindle actuator such as a servo actuator adapted to vary a distance between the upper and lower spindles along a y axis. The tire testing machine also includes a conveyor adapted to move an associated tire to be tested along an x axis in a conveying direction. The conveyor is driven by a conveyor actuator said as a servo actuator. A motion controller is provided and receives x axis position feedback indicating a conveying distance moved by the conveyor along said x axis and that uses the x axis position feedback to control the spindle actuator to vary the distance between the upper and lower spindles along the y axis according to a function y=F(x) for coordinated synchronous variation of the distance between the upper and lower spindles along the y axis in response to movement of the conveyor along the x axis.

Abstract: A tire building drum having collapsible and expandable segments that form a cylinder upon which a tire is built. The segments are connected to a cam, which when rotated with respect to them, causes the segments to expand or collapse.
