  • Patent number: 9677521
    Abstract: In a component (1), in particular a housing of a high-pressure fuel pump, in which at least one first high-pressure channel (4) and one second high-pressure channel (5) are present, the longitudinal axis of the first channel (4) is at an acute or right angle to the longitudinal axis of the second channel (5), wherein the second channel (5) leads into the first channel (4), such that an intersection is formed. The first channel (4) is formed by a central bore (10) and at least one secondary bore (11) that enlarges the cross-section of the central bore (10), wherein the longitudinal axis of the secondary bore (11) and the longitudinal axis of the central bore (10) extend parallel to one another.

  • Patent number: 9339858
    Abstract: A method for roller burnishing a cylindrical component part surface of a workpiece includes using a roller burnishing tool including at least one rolling element. The at least one rolling element is pressed by hydrostatic pressurization radially outwardly against the component part surface and is left to roll down on the component part surface by rotating the roller burnishing tool or the workpiece. The torque arising as a result of the friction between the at least one rolling element and the component part surface is detected and sent for evaluation.

  • Patent number: 9279403
    Abstract: A closure bolt for an injector of a modular common-rail fuel injection system includes at least one high-pressure port for high-pressure fuel and a bolt-like portion which is configured to be inserted into an opening of the injector and which has a first, preferably conical, sealing surface for closing the opening in a high-pressure-tight manner. The bolt-like portion has a high-pressure bore which is hydraulically connected to the high-pressure port and which issues into the injector. The closure bolt further includes a throughflow limiter configured to limit the flow rate of fuel delivered into the injector. The bolt-like portion has an insert in which the throughflow limiter is formed and which bears the first sealing surface.
