Abstract: A method for producing a throttle point, particularly in a channel of a valve piece of a fuel injector is disclosed. The following are performed: first, the outlet channel is created by machining. Then, the throttle point is stamped by a stamping die inserted into a guide hole. The pre-stamped throttle point is electrical-discharge machined in such a way that said throttle point has an electrical-discharge machined inlet area and comprises a stamped outlet area, which lies before a continuous cross-section expansion of the outlet channel as viewed in the flow direction.

Abstract: A control valve module (14?) for a fuel injector assembly (10) has a conduit arrangement where a high-pressure passage (108) has a first portion (110) extending linearly between an annulus (106) surrounding the control valve cylinder (42) and an upper edge (34), and a second portion (112) extending linearly between the annulus (106) and a lower edge (35?).

Abstract: A fuel injector assembly comprising an engine camshaft driven piston plunger in a plunger body, a control valve, an electromagnetic actuator for stroking the control valve between limiting positions and a valve stop assembly establishing a first limiting valve stroke position when the control valve is fully open and a second valve stroke position corresponding to a reduced fuel delivery pressure prior to a main fuel pressure pulse in a fuel injection event.

Abstract: A fuel injector comprising a pumping chamber pressurized by an actuator responsive to an engine controller for delivering pressurized fuel from the pumping chamber to a control valve module to control pressure applied at the outlet of an injector nozzle. The control valve module includes at least one control valve. Valve actuators are in a stator core plate that is independent of the control valve module. Machining operations during manufacture of the injector are simplified by a separation of the stator core plate and the control valve module. Mating, juxtaposed surfaces of the control valve module and the stator core plate are fixed by an indexer.

Abstract: Fluid in a chamber, through which a fuel control armature is moving, is used to dampen armature vibrations. This dampening effect is achieved by forming a passage through which the fluid flows as the actuator moves to a steady state position. This passage may be implemented in a control module for controlling fuel delivery in a fuel injector. The control module includes a control module housing defining the cavity. The armature is disposed at least partially within the cavity. The armature affects the flow of fuel in the injector by changing the area of a fuel port through which fuel passes. The fluid passage is formed as the armature moves towards a contact wall defining the cavity.
