Abstract
Abstract A system for supplying a liquid at constant pressure for use in a liquid chromatograph characterized by a pump having a cylinder and a piston reciprocably disposed therein for drawing liquid into and discharging liquid from the cylinder, wherein a tachogenerator is connected to an electric motor which is controlled by an automatic control circuit for detecting the hydraulic pressure in the cylinder having a differential amplifier therein, and in which a signal from the tacho-generator is fed back to the differential amplifier for controlling the movement of the piston being effected by the motor through a gearing arrangement, and a screw drive means connecting the motor and the piston.
