Abstract: A hydraulic master cylinder for a clutch or brake of a motor vehicle is simultaneously optimized for cost-effective mass production and for functional properties.

Abstract: The invention concerns a radial piston pump comprising a rotating pump shaft having an end portion connected to a rotationally fixed eccentric ring, said radial piston pump further comprising an eccentric bearing arranged on an outer peripheral surface of the eccentric ring, the eccentric bearing comprising a needle roller bushing having radially inward directed flanges between which bearing needle rollers are arranged for rolling, at least one pump plunger arranged in a pump housing and extending radially of the pump shaft being supported by an end face on the needle roller bushing, while the end portion of the pump shaft is supported in a housing via an adjacent second support bearing.

Abstract: A finger lever (1) is made as a sheet metal part without chip removal and, seen in transverse cross-section, it has a U-shaped profile opening downwards. An upper crosswall of this finger lever (1) comprises an opening (10) of essentially rectangular shape as viewed from above, a roller (3) which can be contacted by a cam (6) being arranged in the opening (10). Side walls (8 and 9) which extend downwards from the crosswall (7) receive a pin (5) which serves to mount the roller (3). Upper edges (11 and 12) of the side walls (8 and 9) have a convex shape. The rigidity of such a finger lever (1) is increased by the fact that the vertical extent of the side walls is increased to such an extent that the roller (3) is situated entirely within this vertical extent of the side walls (8 and 9).

Abstract: A sleeve-like element (14) is arranged inside a hydraulic support element to secure against drainage. In axial direction, the sleeve-like inner element (14) bears a shoulder (13) of a piston (4), formed by a rolled-in step (12). In this manner, the inner element (14) can be secured while the piston (4) maintains a uniform wall thickness.
