  • Publication number: 20230096056
    Abstract: A high pressure fuel pump includes (i) a pump housing, (ii) a pump piston, (iii) a high pressure seal which is disposed between the pump piston and the pump housing and seals the pump piston with respect to a high pressure region, and (iv) an annular guide element which guides the pump piston in a sliding fit and which is disposed towards the high pressure region when seen from the high pressure seal. The annular guide element has at least one fluid connection which fluidically connects a first region to a second region. The first region is adjacent to a first end face of the guide element. And the second region is adjacent to a second end face of the guide element.

  • Patent number: 9074474
    Abstract: The pump comprises at least one pump element which has a pump piston that is at least indirectly driven in a stroke movement by a drive shaft. A plunger having a plunger body is arranged between the drive shaft and the pump piston and is movably guided in a receiving device in the direction of the stroke movement of the pump piston and is supported on the drive shaft by means of a support element. Lubricant is supplied to the receiving device via a supply line and lubricant is conducted out of the receiving device via a discharge line into the plunger body to the support element. An annular gap filter is provided between the plunger body and the receiving device and is arranged between the supply line for supplying lubricant to the receiving device and the discharge line for discharging lubricant into the plunger body.
