Abstract: In a fuel injection pump, a helical gear is attached to an end of a camshaft and rotatable with the camshaft. The camshaft is biased in one axial direction thereof by a driving force that the helical gear receives from an engine crankshaft. A disk is provided in a position of the camshaft extending forward from a cam to the direction in which the camshaft is biased. An axial movement of the disk is restricted via a washer by an end of a bearing cover. The disk is formed in the same axis to a portion of the camshaft that is held by a journal bearing. An outer diameter of the disk is larger than that of the cam. An area where the disk and the washer are in sliding contact with each other is relatively large and the sliding regions thereof are constant so that hammer noises are prevented and frictional wear thereof are limited.

Abstract: A piston pump for a hydraulic brake system for a vehicle with a slip control system. For economical production, the piston pump includes a piston as a composites part with a core of steel that is surrounded by a lubricant jacket of plastic. By way of example, the lubricant jacket is applied to the core by spray-coating, or is pressed onto the core or slipped onto the core. The lubricant jacket economizes by dispensing with expensive post-machining of the piston surface by grinding, for instance, and improves the sliding properties of the piston.

Abstract: A reciprocating piston-type pump for a brake system, such as an antilock brake system, includes a housing having an inlet and an outlet connected by a bore containing one or more pistons driven by an eccentric shaft for pumping high pressure brake fluid to one or more vehicle brakes. Each pump piston includes a directional seal for selectively sealing the gap between the piston and the bore permitting high pressure to be developed on a pressure stroke of the piston but permit fluid to pass by the seal during an intake or return stroke. The directional seal can have a cup shape to achieve these functions. Accordingly, the need for a one-way inlet check valve inside the piston is eliminated. The overall pump design can therefore be reduced in size and associated manufacturing costs are reduced.

Abstract: In the inventive plunger pump, a plunger is pressed on a shaft by a spring via a thrust bearing having rolling elements clamped by a pair of bearing washers. By such a configuration, the motion of the shaft is immediately transmitted to the plunger, irrespective of whether the radius of the profile of a cam for driving the shaft back and forth is in the increment phase or decrement phase, so that the suction and discharge of liquid is performed without delay, since no play (or gap) exists in the transmission mechanism between the cam and the plunger. Thus, the fluctuation in the pressure is minimized during the operation of the pump and, when a low pressure gradient elusion is carried out, the solvents are supplied at the desired flow rates accurately.

The vacuum producing outstroke is powered by a spring having sufficient force to draw a vacuum no higher than the desired upper safety limit, and the reset stroke is powered manually. The pump is constructed to provide an inherent vacuum limit by selecting a spring which, when fully compressed during a reset stroke, exerts a force against the piston which is less than the force exerted against the piston head by the differential pressure between atmospheric pressure and a preselected maximum vacuum pressure inside the cylinder. Thus, when the maximum vacuum pressure is reached, the piston is not returned for successive pumping.
