  • Publication number: 20210277857
    Abstract: A piston pump, in particular a high-pressure fuel pump for an injection system of an internal combustion engine, has a piston and a working chamber which is delimited by the piston. The piston has a running surface section, via which the piston is guided with a guide element, and is configured and developed in such a way that the running surface section of the piston tapers in cross section towards its end which faces the working chamber.

  • Publication number: 20150071762
    Abstract: A turbine for a supercharging device of an internal combustion engine may include a control device for performance control of the turbine. The control device may include at least one actuator, which is pivotably mounted about a pivot axis relative to a turbine housing. The actuator may have a bearing shaft, which is mounted in a bearing of the turbine housing. The bearing shaft may include at least one bearing sleeve, which is radially in contact with the bearing.

  • Patent number: 8747058
    Abstract: The invention relates to a charging device, more preferably an exhaust gas turbocharger for a motor vehicle with a variable turbine/compressor geometry (1) with a plurality of adjustable guide blades, which are each engaged with an adjusting ring (2) via a corresponding lever (3, 3?) and which are preferentially jointly adjustable through said adjusting ring. Through a reinforcement (10) of a plurality of engagement regions (7, 7?) of the adjusting ring (2) which are in contact with an adjusting lever (3, 3?) each, higher force transmission from the adjusting ring (2) to the adjusting levers (3, 3?) is made possible without disadvantageous plastic deformation of the adjusting ring (2) or of the adjusting levers (3, 3?).

  • Patent number: 8257027
    Abstract: An exhaust-driven turbocharger for a motor vehicle may include a bearing housing and a turbine housing, which are mounted in the bearing house by means of a common shaft. A guide vane cage surrounds the turbine wheel. The guide vane cage may have at least two arms. The arms may be used to help secure the guide vane cage between the bearing housing and the turbine housing such that it can move in the radial direction.

  • Publication number: 20090317247
    Abstract: The invention relates to an exhaust-driven turbocharger (1) for a motor vehicle, with a bearing housing (2) and a turbine housing (3), a turbine wheel (18) and a compressor wheel, which are mounted in the bearing housing (2) by means of a common shaft, a guide vane cage (9), which surrounds the turbine wheel (18) with a defined gap, Essential to the invention is that the guide vane cage (9) has at least two arms (10), by means of which it is clamped between the bearing housing (2) and the turbine housing (3) in such a manner that it can only move in the radial direction, so that the guide vane cage (9) can expand in a stress-free manner in the radial direction (16).
