Piston pumps belong to the group of oscillating displacement pumps, here with a hydraulic control unit. A hydraulic pump (13) drives a hydraulic cylinder (7). The KORTHAUS reversing block guarantees a smooth reversal of the end loads. The pump piston (6) is attached to the cylinder rod and pumps on the slurry side. The delivery valves (3) are designed as automatic check valves or as positively switched poppet valves with hydraulic cylinder drive. The start-stop valve can be used to stop the pump while the engine is running. The pressure relief valve (14) simultaneously protects the hydraulic side and the slurry side. The hydraulic circuit is hermetically sealed and insensitive to dusty environments.
