Abstract
A mounting assembly for mounting a pump to a fluid cylinder comprising a tie rod threaded at one end and providing a second end drivingly engageable with a sleeve-like threaded connection for clamping attachment directly into the cylinder block by the direct thread engagement of the connector internally of the cylinder block. The invention eliminates the requirement of machining a fluid cylinder block to provide engageable flanges and form nut pockets, thereby minimizing fabrication time and costs, while increasing strength, stability and alignment accuracy between pump pony rods and plunger assemblies of fluid cylinders generally of the type used for high pressure industrial applications.
