  • Publication number: 20110073078
    Abstract: The invention relates to a high-pressure fuel pump for a fuel injection system of an internal combustion engine, having a pump housing and with at least one pump element of a piston which is driven by a cam which interacts with a roller. The free ends of the roller are bounded by two side run-on surfaces which come into contact with mating surfaces during the operation of the high-pressure fuel pump. In order to provide a high-pressure fuel pump which can be produced cost-effectively and has a long service life, the side run-on surfaces are designed as circular ring disc surfaces and, in a central internal region, are released from contact with the mating surfaces.
