The piston is coupled by a rod to a driving member while the piston in an alternating motion along its longitudinal axis. A ring is placed on the pump body which is hollowed out with an annular channel and a deformable thinned part connecting the piston to the ring.

The single-block set is made of a synthetic material that is flexible and mechanically and chemically resistant. The pump can be advantageously used in ink-jet printers.
