Provided for may be a motor speed control apparatus for use with a piston pump. The piston may be adapted to create a plurality of compressions and the piston may have a compression path and a decompression path. Further, the piston cylinder may include a proximal end, a distal end, and a piston length. The piston cylinder may have a proximal threshold position and a distal threshold position. In an embodiment, the apparatus includes a proximal and a distal hall effect sensor. The apparatus may comprise a computer, wherein instructions instruct the piston to decelerate at the distal threshold position during the compression path and the proximal threshold position during the decompression path, and/or wherein the computer executable instructions instruct the piston to accelerate at the distal threshold position during the decompression path and the proximal threshold position during the compression path.
