An aircraft fluid delivery device (10) including a piston assembly (20), a pilot assembly (22), and a control assembly (24). The control assembly (24) includes non-contact proximity sensors (S1, S2) that sense the positionof the piston (28) and a controller (80) that controls the pilot assembly (22), and thus the piston assembly (20), based on information received from the sensors (S1, S2). Specifically, the controller (80) energizes a solenoid (72) to cause fluid to flow through the pilot assembly (22) into a large portionof the piston chamber (30) during the compression stroke of the piston (28). When the solenoid (72) is deenergized during the return stroke of the piston (28), or when the delivery device is electrically turned off, an ejector (60) in the pilot assembly (22) generates a vacuum on the pressure side of the wide portion of the piston chamber (30). |
