  • Patent number: 10662940
    Abstract: A high-pressure fuel pump includes a housing, at least one piston, and a sealing device. The device is positioned on the piston so as to surround the piston, and includes a seal carrier. The carrier is connected, at least in sections, to the housing, and includes at least one radially peripheral portion that is materially bonded to the housing via a capacitor discharge weld connection. Such a pump enables improved cycle times and reduced error rates during production.

  • Patent number: 10428814
    Abstract: A piston fuel pump for an internal combustion engine includes: a pump cylinder; and a pump piston which is movably accommodated in the pump cylinder. The pump piston is guided radially with the aid of at least a first and at least a second guide section which are spaced axially apart from each other, the first guide section being situated in a pump cylinder of the piston fuel pump, and the second guide section being situated radially outwardly in the area of the end section facing the drive. The piston fuel pump has a supporting and sealing unit for the pump piston on the first guide section, which includes a guidance area for the radial guidance of the pump piston in the pump cylinder and a sealing area having a sealing lip.

  • Patent number: 10393112
    Abstract: A piston fuel pump for an internal combustion engine includes a pump cylinder, a pump piston, and a seal. The pump piston is axially displaceable in the pump cylinder. The seal is arranged on a circumference of the pump piston. A radially outer surface of the seal which faces an inner surface of the pump cylinder is configured, in an axial end region, such that the radially outer surface lies against the pump cylinder as the pump piston is at rest relative to the pump cylinder, and such that a relative motion between the pump cylinder and the pump piston in the axial direction causes the seal to lift off from the pump piston in a radially inward direction.

  • Publication number: 20170268472
    Abstract: A high-pressure fuel pump includes a piston and a sealing device. The piston includes an end portion. The sealing device is disposed on the end portion, faces a drive of the fuel pump, and is configured to radially surround the piston. The piston is displaceable along a longitudinal axis relative to the sealing device. The sealing device includes a first and a second sealing portion which extend round in a radially internal manner. The first and the second sealing portions are each located at mutually spaced-apart axial end regions of the sealing device. The first and the second sealing portions are present on an injection-molded component which is subsequently processed in a cutting manner.

  • Patent number: 9726159
    Abstract: An arrangement for throttling a fluid flow includes a throttle element arranged so as to influence a flow cross section in a fluid duct. The throttle element has a resiliently elastic disc-shaped basic body which is arranged with a top side and a bottom side between at least two supports in the fluid duct. The body is arranged in such a way that the flow cross section can be variably adjusted as a function of a pressure difference between the top side and the bottom side of the resiliently elastic disc-shaped basic body. At least one support bears against the top side of the resiliently elastic disc-shaped basic body, and at least one support bears against the bottom side of the resiliently elastic disc-shaped basic body.
