  • Piston pump for a vehicle brake system
    Patent number: 6471496
    Abstract: To enable economical production of a piston for a piston pump, the piston is made from a tubular deformed part and a closure plug, which is press-fitted with a protrusion into the deformed part. The piston has the advantage that the piston can be made without metal cutting in the form of deformed parts, for instance by extrusion, and hence can be produced quickly and economically.
