Abstract: A fuel injection system having a high pressure fuel injection pump whose high-pressure pumping is determined by an electrically controlled valve that controls a relief conduit, and the phase of the fuel injection is determined by the closure of this valve. To execute an injection that is subdivided into a preinjection and a main injection, and to simplify triggering of the electrically controlled valve, a cam that drives the pump piston is shaped such that the cam furnishes a range (P), in which the pump piston, to interrupt the injection between the preinjection and the main injection, remains in or moves back to its then-reached position.

Abstract: The invention relates to a braking apparatus having an electric service motor, which serves to actuate a brake via an actuating device. To enable adjusting an air clearance, the invention sets forth a helical gear and a load moment block, which blocks the helical gear against adjusting itself independently and allows adjustment by means of a readjusting motor. To adjust or establish the air clearance, the brake is actuated with the readjusting motor, until a brake lining contacts a brake body, such as a brake disk, and then moves backward by a defined distance. If the service motor and/or the actuating device fails, the braking apparatus can be released with the readjusting motor. In order to achieve a parking brake function, the invention sets forth a second load moment block for the actuating device.

Two sealing element regions disposed in sealing seams located between the head of the hollow screw and the annular stub and between the component and the annular stub, are joined via a substantially cylindrical portion, and this cylindrical portion. This portion extends in the seam concentric with the largely cylindrical wall of the hollow screw. It has at least one radial opening.

Abstract: The invention relates to a quantity control valve for a fuel injection system, used in internal combustion engines, with a longitudinal slide that is movable in a valve housing between a restoring spring chamber and a control chamber and that allocates the fuel, flowing in from at least one low-pressure pump, to at least one high-pressure pump. For driving the longitudinal slide, the inflowing fuel in the control chamber is delivered past the longitudinal slide via a throttle or baffle valve. In the closing position, firstly, a cylindrical guide region of the longitudinal slide bounded on both sides by annular grooves blocks off an inlet bore. The guide region is wider than the diameter of the inlet bore. Secondly, it covers an outlet bore except for a partial intersection with the relieved annular groove shifted into the return in the opening direction of the longitudinal slide.

Abstract: A fuel injection valve for internal combustion engines, having a fuel inflow conduit, which discharges at an injection opening, and into which inflow conduit a rodlike filter body is inserted, preceding the injection opening, which filter body on each of its face ends has one collar of enlarged diameter compared with a middle portion of the filter body, and into whose jacket face two groups of longitudinal grooves axially closed on one end are machined. A first group begins at an upper end face of the filter body remote from the injection opening and a second group begins at a lower end face thereof toward the injection opening, the longitudinal grooves of the first and second groups being distributed in alternation over the circumference of the filter body. To reliably prevent dirt particles from passing through the filter body, the lower collar extends past the axially closed end of the longitudinal grooves of the first group.

Abstract: The invention relates to a housing block into which a piston pump is inserted. For sealing off and fixing a cylinder of the piston pump in the housing block, the cylinder is provided with a radially outward-protruding annular shoulder, which when the cylinder is press-fitted in the housing block displaces material of the housing block and deforms the housing block plastically radially inward until material rests sealingly on the cylinder and fixes the cylinder in the housing block. The invention makes it possible to accomplish securing and sealing in one operation in an economical way, without requiring additional securing means and economizing on one high-pressure-proof sealing ring.

Abstract: A brake system that includes a power-actuated service brake and an auxiliary brake that is actuated by muscle power. To achieve a desired characteristic curve of the pedal when the service brake is actuated, a path simulator is provided in a master cylinder. This path simulator has compression springs disposed in a pressure chamber. The pressure chamber is defined by a floating piston with a seat valve, which controls a pressure fluid-carrying connection of the pressure chamber to a pressure fluid reservoir of the master cylinder. The function of the seat valve is dependent on the stroke of a rod piston, which can displace pressure fluid from a first pressure chamber when the auxiliary brake is actuated. The path simulator is active if pressure fluid is not displaced from the first pressure chamber during the actuation of the service brake and therefore the seat valve assumes its open position.
