Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Whatever deformation or scale you are applying, do not attach it to the ring. If it is just a scale and the ring is a child of the object that is animating, unparent it. Then you could attach a locator to the tip of the pump, and assign a point constraint so that the ring follows the constraint, but does not deform with the rest of the object.
