    Functional description Functional description Power end The cam for the stroke movement is guided in an eccentric disc. Pumps of this size do not therefore require conventional return springs – the suction and pressure stroke are positively driven. The stroke length can be adjusted by a latched slide (9) from 100% to 0 in increments of 10%.
