  • Publication number: 20230235729
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a high-pressure fuel pump having barrel sets comprising offset, opposing barrel units within the same plane and having plungers disposed therein. The high-pressure fuel pump further includes a camshaft having at least one offset lobe and a cam ring encircling the lobe and in contact with the plungers, which translate the rotational movement of the camshaft to longitudinal movement of the plungers, controlling inflow, compression, and outflow of fuel within the pump.

  • Publication number: 20230167794
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a high-pressure fuel pump including a barrel unit, a plunger, and a camshaft assembly having an eccentric cam lobe including a surface of the lobe. A follower is provided between the plunger and the surface of the lobe of the camshaft assembly to facilitate translation between the rotational movement of the camshaft assembly to axial movement of the plunger. The follower includes arcuate surfaces configured to mate with corresponding arcuate surfaces of the lobe of the cam shaft assembly and the plunger, respectively.

  • Patent number: 11268485
    Abstract: A fuel pump for an internal combustion engine comprising a barrel having a longitudinal axis that spans between a proximal end and a distal end and a central bore therein. A plunger is disposed at least partially in the central bore and is configured to move along the longitudinal axis. An annular seal assembly is arranged around the circumference of the plunger wherein the annular seal assembly includes a seal retainer housing and a first seal and the seal retainer housing also retains the proximal end of the barrel thereon to form a second seal wherein the first and the second seals reduce the fuel to oil transfer rate and the oil to fuel transfer rate. The plunger and barrel are configured to be removed from and re-assembled with the annular seal assembly to enable service of these parts and the fuel pump.
