Abstract: The invention relates to a solenoid valve having an actuator body (17), in which a magnet coil (15) that interacts with a magnet core (16) is arranged and which interacts with an armature (14) that can be moved relative to the magnet core between two end positions and is acted upon by the spring force of an armature spring (13) in a movement direction pointing away from the magnet core (16). The magnet core and the armature have stop surfaces (18a, 18b) which are interrupted by a recess (29) that receives the armature spring. According to the invention, a solenoid valve is provided which is improved with respect to the function of the solenoid valve and the stress on the stop surfaces (18a, 18b) that causes wear. This is achieved in that the magnet core (16) and/or the armature (14) have/has a design (30, 31), in particular a spherical or toroidal design, which reduces the stress on the edges in the region of the stop surfaces (18a, 18b).

Abstract: The high pressure pump includes a drive shaft with at least one cam or eccentric and at least one pump element with a pump piston driven in the reciprocating direction by the cam or eccentric on the driveshaft in a reciprocating motion. A support element is arranged between the pump piston and the cam or eccentric on the driveshaft and also a roller running on the cam or eccentric is mounted to rotate therein. A support for the roller in the direction of rotation is arranged adjacent to the same in the direction of the rotational axis of the roller. The roller and/or the support include a surface with high wear resistance at least in the contact region between the roller and the support.

Abstract: A method for microstructuring surfaces of a workpiece includes the following steps: a) placing a workpiece to be structured into a liquid medium; b) providing a light source for producing a cavitation bubble in the liquid medium; and c) producing a cavitation bubble using the light source in such a way that the subsequent collapse of the cavitation bubble structures the surface of the workpiece, in particular material is removed from the surface.
