  • Patent number: 8353691
    Abstract: A piston pump for the hydraulic energy supply in a motor vehicle, comprising a piston that is movably arranged in a stepped bore of an accommodating member that is provided with a closure, the piston carries a seat for an elastic sealing element which accommodates the sealing element with axial play, and with radial elastic preload for the purpose of sealing between piston and cylinder. The seat for the sealing element has a structure which generates forces pointing radially towards a piston axis and expanding the sealing element in a radial direction, and that the structure produces an elastic deformation of the sealing element for an increased and dosed sealing contact pressure between piston and cylinder.

  • Patent number: 6846049
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a valve assembly whose first valve accommodating member is conformed to the inside diameter of a second valve accommodating member in such a fashion that the first valve accommodating member is inserted without clearance so far into the second valve accommodating member that the first valve closure member is supported either on a bore step of a second pressure fluid passage or on the first valve accommodating member.

  • Patent number: 6435210
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an electromagnetic valve which includes a valve tappet that is axially movably arranged in a valve housing and fastened to a magnetic armature, and a valve piston axially movable in the valve housing, a diaphragm-type pressure fluid passage in the valve piston that is closed or opened by the valve tappet, another unthrottled pressure fluid passage arranged between the valve piston and the valve housing that is closed or opened by the valve piston, pressure fluid channels which open into the valve housing on either side of the valve piston, with both pressure fluid passages closed in the initial position of the electromagnetic valve.

  • Patent number: 5567128
    Abstract: The invention provides a pump including a pressure valve which is formed within a carrier element capable of being inserted into the pump casing, with the carrier body including a channel leading into a chamber which, in turn, is in communication, through a restrictor, with the brake circuit to be energized. The carrier element, substantially, is of a cylindrical configuration, with the channel leading to the side wall of the cylinder, and the carrier element, in part, being inserted into a cup-shaped retaining element, and with the outer diameter of the carrier element being only slightly smaller than the inside diameter of the closure member.

  • Patent number: 5209553
    Abstract: An anti-locking hydraulic brake system is described which includes a pump, the output of which flows through a pressure valve (20), a damping chamber (24), a check valve (28) and a throttle (3I) and is delivered to a pressure connection in communication with the wheel brake conduit. To ensure, in a compact structural design, a noise-minimizing hydraulic pressure source, while avoiding a flow back of pressure fluid from the brake system into the damping device, a check valve (28) is integrated into the damping device. A pressure valve is integrated with the check valve and damping chamber, with an elastomeric elastic member disposed in the damping chamber to absorb pressure pulsations.

  • Patent number: 5096400
    Abstract: A hydraulic pump which is furnished with a bushing-type closing element (11) for the purpose of damping pulsations of pressure and of the delivery flow. The closing element (11) turns the delivery flow several times and contains a damping chamber. An optimum adjustment of the damping device is possible by varying the external diameter of the end portion (12) of the closing element (11) and by varying the reach of screw of the closing element (11).

  • Patent number: 4807945
    Abstract: In a hydraulic motor vehicle brake system with slip control comprising a pressure accumulator (13), a hydraulic pump (23), a non-return valve (2) and a brake power booster (17). The pressure outlet of the pump (23) is connected with the pressure accumulator and with an inlet of the brake power booster (17) via the non-return valve (2). The outlet side of the non-return valve (2) is connected with the inlet of the brake power booster (17) via the pressure accumulator (13) in order to reduce noises caused by pressure pulsations in the fluid flow of the pump (23).

  • Patent number: 4758134
    Abstract: A radial piston pump includes an axially slidable rotor which is rotatably connected to a connected shaft through a spring clutch engaging one end face of the rotor. The rotor is located in a housing or in the stator so as to constitute a frontal gap between the rotor and the housing or stator on the pressure side of the machine, through which frontal gap, during operation of the device, pressure fluid of the pressure side is permitted to be supplied to at least one sector area of that end face of the rotor opposite the spring clutch. This causes centering of the rotor by the spring clutch and by the pressure of the pressure side in such a manner that no metallic contacts occur in an axial direction and, thus, no friction losses.

  • Patent number: 4555223
    Abstract: In a radial piston machine, there is provided an outer stator and an inner rotor rotatable on a control pintle provided with supply and discharge channels. The rotor contains at least one radial bore in which is slidable a spherical piston comprising an outer ball and an inner cylindrical sleeve. The radially inward end of the sleeve, which end is adapted to be acted upon by the outlet pressure of the machine, includes a sealing lip which, during operation, in particular at higher pressures, expands circumferentially and, under certain circumstances, moves in sealing abutment with the inner wall of the radial bore.

  • Patent number: 4477125
    Abstract: Hydraulic brake systems are known which comprise antiskid control valves and a pressure fluid source where pressure fluid is fed via a valve device and an antiskid control valve to a wheel brake cylinder. The pressure fluid source includes two jointly driven pumps. The disadvantage of such a system is the constant presence of a high pump output although this high output is only rarely required. Therefore, according to the present invention, an energy saving is realized by having the suction connection of a first of two jointly driven pumps connected to a pressure fluid reservoir and the suction connection of a second of two jointly driven pumps connected to the pressure fluid outlet of an antiskid control valve.
