A compact 180° opposed piston pump/compressor minimizes axial spacing between its pistons on the drive shaft and has mass-balanced pistons designed to reduce the shaking couple and noise from reciprocation of the pistons. The piston assemblies can have members, such as cup retainers, that are of different masses selected to compensate for the difference in piston masses and thereby equalize the masses of the pistons. Each piston assembly can be mounted to the drive shaft at eccentrics that occupy minimal or no space between the pistons.
