Abstract: An injection valve for injecting fuel into the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine has an injector needle guided inside the housing in such a way that it can be displaced longitudinally with a shaft in order to open and close the injection cross-sections. The injector needle is actuated by the fuel pressure which act upon the injector needle and by a closing spring acting in the closing direction of the injection needle. The closing spring is pre-compressed between abutments on the injector needle and the housing and is situated on the perimeter of the injector needle in the area between the injector needle guide and the valve seat. One advantage of the arrangement is the compact construction of the injection valve and the low dead volume of the control chamber on the reverse side of the injector needle.

Abstract: The invention relates to a high-pressure piston cylinder unit, especially an injection pump or an injection valve for an internal combustion engine, and to a method for producing one such high-pressure piston cylinder unit. The high-pressure piston cylinder unit has a piston which is guided inside a cylinder bore and which is coupled to an actuating element. The piston is subjected to a high pressure differential. According to the invention, fine grooves which run very close to one another are configured in at least one part of the guiding surface of the piston. The grooves ensure hydraulic pressure compensation on the periphery of the guiding surface, thus reducing wear, and prevent leakage in a longitudinal guiding direction.
