An oscillating displacement pump, particularly a diaphragm pump (P) for
liquid or gaseous delivery media, having a delivery space which on the
one side is delimited by a pump head and on the other side by a delivery
element, particularly formed by a diaphragm (6). The delivery element is
drivingly connected to an eccentric drive, and an inlet valve connected
to an inlet connection and an outlet valve connected to an outlet
connection are connected to the delivery space. The pump has a pulsation
damper (45) on the pressure side, and also an excess pressure limiting
device (27) between the pressure and suction sides, these devices being
integrated into the pump head. In use as a liquid pump, an oscillation
chamber (16) is integrated into the suction side of the pump head.
Pressure peaks are thereby diminished both on the suction side and the
pressure side, and a pressure rise on the pressure side is limited to a
predeterminable value.
