Abstract (en)

The pump operates using an electromagnetically vibrated armature (26) with a central through-conduit (4) and passive valves (5,6,). The armature has a narrower extension (32) to operate the valves, through which the conduit also passes. In order to avoid fluid building up between the armature and its guide (13), and impeding the movements of the armature, at least one of these is irregularly shaped, to provide firstly longitudinal through paths for such fluid to be quickly scavenged and removed, and secondly, cooperating guiding surfaces which are bypassed by the fluid, and not subject to fluid build-up between them. Therefore, power losses through fluid build ups is avoided, without necessity for state of the art radial drilling of the armature (13).
