Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating a piston pump (10) which is driven by means of a coil (1) of an electromagnet. A piston (2) of the piston pump (10) can be moved in a cylinder (3) for pumping purposes by means of the electromagnet. A voltage (U) is applied to the coil (1) during a switch-on period such that a current flows through the coil (1) and the piston (2) is accelerated, said voltage being applied by means of an actuation device (11). A time curve of an electric state variable (I, U) of the coil (1) is qualitatively detected, and the curve or a curve derived therefrom is analyzed in order to detect an impact of the piston (2) against a stop. The invention further relates to an actuation device and a piston pump.

Abstract: The invention relates to a piston pump, in particular for injection systems for motorized two-wheeled vehicles and/or for motorized three-wheeled vehicles, having a compression chamber, a piston, an inlet valve, and an outlet valve.

The invention is characterized in that a piston end face facing the channel has a region which can be immersed into the channel.
