Abstract: The invention relates to a radial piston pump for high-pressure fuel delivery in fuel injection systems of internal combustion engines, particularly in a common rail injection system. The pump includes a drive shaft that is supported in a pump housing and is embodied eccentrically or has a number of cam-like projections in the circumference direction. A number of pistons that are disposed radially with regard to the drive shaft are each disposed in a respective cylinder chamber and are set into a reciprocating motion in the radial direction in the cylinder chamber upon rotation of the drive shaft. Each respective cylinder chamber is sealed on the radial outside in relation to the drive shaft by a valve plate that has an intake side check valve and a high-pressure side check valve.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for lubricating the teeth of a gear unit having a hollow wheel with an inner set of teeth and at least one pinion with an outer set of teeth that meshes with the inner set of teeth, and a gear unit with a hollow wheel with an inner set of teeth and at least one pinion with an outer set of teeth, which meshes with the inner set of teeth. To assure reliable supply of lubricant to the teeth during the operation of the gear unit, the invention proposes that the lubricant is introduced in a targeted way into the interior of the hollow wheel. The invention further proposes a gear unit, which has a device for the targeted delivery of lubricant into the interior of the hollow wheel.

Abstract: A piston pump of the roller tappet type for high-pressure fuel delivery in fuel injection systems of internal combustion engines, particularly in common rail injection systems. A drive shaft that is supported in the pump housing and has a number of cam-like projections in the circumference direction. At least one tappet that is disposed in a cylinder chamber radially with regard to the drive shaft and in its radially inner end region has a rotatable roller which is supported so that it can roll in the circumference direction against the drive shaft in the region of its projections in order to reduce the wear in the region of the roller bearing. The pump is embodied so that a lubricant supply opening that leads from the circumference of the tappet and feeds into the radially inner tappet end region supporting the roller and at least during a part of the stroke, communicates with a lubricant supply line of the housing, which line feeds into the cylinder chamber.

Abstract: The invention relates to a quantity control valve for a fuel injection system, used in internal combustion engines, which includes a longitudinal slide that is movable in a valve housing between a first and a second control chamber and that allocates the fuel, flowing in from at least one low-pressure pump, to at least one high-pressure pump. For driving the longitudinal slide, the inflowing fuel is delivered into the first control chamber via a throttle or baffle valve, past the longitudinal slide. In the second control chamber, there is either a restoring spring that urges the longitudinal slide in the direction of its closing position, or the longitudinal slide there has an effective face-end surface area upstream of which a control line containing a throttle valve ends; this end face is smaller in surface area than the effective surface area of the face end in the first control chamber.

Abstract: A fuel injection system for internal combustion engines is proposed, in which with the aid of a high-pressure pump fuel is pumped at high pressure into a high-pressure fuel reservoir (6), from which electrically controlled fuel injection valves (9) are supplied. The pressure in the high-pressure fuel reservoir is maintained in such a way that a first pump element (16) pumps fuel into the high-pressure reservoir with a variable pumping quantity, and a second pump element (17) as needed pumps a constant high-pressure fuel quantity into the high-pressure reservoir. A simple, economical system is thus obtained for furnishing high fuel pressure for injection by the fuel injection system (FIG. 2).

Abstract: The invention relates to a quantity control valve for a fuel injection system, used in internal combustion engines, with a longitudinal slide that is movable in a valve housing between a restoring spring chamber and a control chamber and that allocates the fuel, flowing in from at least one low-pressure pump, to at least one high-pressure pump. For driving the longitudinal slide, the inflowing fuel in the control chamber is delivered past the longitudinal slide via a throttle or baffle valve. In the closing position, firstly, a cylindrical guide region of the longitudinal slide bounded on both sides by annular grooves blocks off an inlet bore. The guide region is wider than the diameter of the inlet bore. Secondly, it covers an outlet bore except for a partial intersection with the relieved annular groove shifted into the return in the opening direction of the longitudinal slide.

Abstract: A fuel injection system for internal combustion engines, having a high-pressure pump, whose pump work chamber can be made to communicate on the intake side with a fuel tank via a supply line and on the compression side with a common rail via a high-pressure line, from which common rail a plurality of injection lines lead away to the individual injection valves, and having one pressure valve each in the supply line and the high-pressure line, by way of which a return flow of fuel out of the pump work chamber into the supply line and out of the high-pressure line into the pump work chamber is prevented. The pressure valve of the supply line and the pressure valve of the high-pressure line are disposed in a common valve combination.

Abstract: The invention relates to an internal combustion engine having a cylinder head with a cam drive, which has a rocker arm pivotably supported in the cylinder head. A roller is supported in the rocker arm in which the roller rolls on a cam path of a cam of a camshaft and is intended for the drive of reciprocating components. The roller is supported in the rocker arm on a roller bolt which on at least one face end has a bore leading to the bearing point of the roller, to which bore lubricant can be delivered on the face end upon execution of a reciprocating motion by a lubricant delivery device associated in the region of the reciprocation path executed by the bore.
