  • 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.

  • Patent number: 10288025
    Abstract: A piston fuel pump for an internal combustion engine includes a pump cylinder, a pump piston, and a seal. The pump piston is configured to be moved axially in the pump cylinder, wherein a working chamber is delimited by the pump piston. The seal is disposed on the pump piston and seals off the working chamber from a low-pressure region. The seal seals off an end section of the pump piston adjacent to the working chamber from the working chamber.

  • Patent number: 9828959
    Abstract: A high-pressure fuel pump includes an outlet valve, a valve ball, a valve spring that acts on the valve ball in a closing direction, and a stop body for the valve ball. The stop body has a stop section that limits the opening stroke of the valve ball, and the valve spring is supported by the stop body. The stop body has a cut-out section that at least partially accommodates the valve spring and that has a radial inner periphery which forms a guide for the valve spring.
