Abstract: An inventive cylinder liner of the present invention includes a dual phase graphite morphology. An outer diameter of the cylinder liner is comprised of ductile (nodular) and vermicular iron while an inner diameter of the cylinder liner is comprised of predominantly gray iron. A transition region of predominantly vermicular iron is preferably disposed between the inner diameter and the outer diameter. The inventive cylinder is preferably made using a centrifugal casting process, which provides a transition in the cylinder wall between the ductile and vermicular iron at the outer diameter to the predominantly gray iron at the inner diameter.

Abstract: A piston pump for a hydraulic brake system of a vehicle with slip control. The piston pump has a piston which is received in a bush that is inserted into a cylinder bore of a pump housing that is closed in pressure-tight fashion by a closure part. For simpler assembly, the closure part is connected to the bush by means of a snap or detent connection. As a result, a preassembled unit that can be manipulated easily before insertion into the pump housing is obtained in a simple way.

Abstract: A piston-cylinder unit including a cylinder in which a piston is guided so as to be displaceable axially, wherein the piston separates the cylinder into two work spaces which communicate via at least one bypass groove in the cylinder depending on the stroke position of the piston, wherein the cylinder is formed of multiple parts and a portion of the cylinder with the at least one bypass groove is displaceable axially relative to at least one further portion of the cylinder.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a method for manufacture and assembly as well as a capless quick-grip cylinder manufactured by this method with a feed nipple for clamping a carrier plate, also called a pallet, which on a machine tool serves to fix work pieces.

Abstract: The invention relates to a piston pump, in particular for an antilock and slip-controlled vehicle brake system. In order to embody a filter, the invention proposes providing a bushing of the piston pump with a bushing that encompasses it, wherein the bushing has beads on its ends, which are provided with grooves after the fashion of a knurling, through which incoming brake fluid flows between a wall of a pump bore and the bead into the piston pump and is therefore filtered.

Abstract: The liner retainer assembly includes a cylinder that is mounted on a module of the fluid end of a pump. The cylinder has an aperture for receiving a liner and a retaining piston. A retaining nut is secured on the end of the retaining piston and engages one end of the liner. The retaining piston forms a fluid cavity and a spring cavity within the cylinder. The spring cavity houses a plurality of springs which bias the piston, retaining member, and liner towards the module, thus providing a resilient securing force. The fluid cavity communicates with a supply of hydraulic fluid for biasing the piston away from the module to relieve the springs. By pressurizing the fluid cavity, the springs are compressed to disengage the retaining member from the liner and allow the unthreading of the retaining member and then the removal of the liner.

Abstract: The invention relates to a piston pump with a piston, which is guided so that the piston can move axially in a liner that has been inserted into a pump housing and is driven into a reciprocating stroke motion by means of a cam that is driven to rotate. The invention uses a liner that is manufactured as an injection-molded plastic part. The plastic liner has advantages with regard to manufacture, damping behavior when there are pressure changes, and noise generation. Furthermore, the invention proposes affixing a filter integral with the liner when the liner is injection molded.

Abstract: A device for securing a cylinder liner (3) to a respective pumping module (2) in a reciprocating pump has a set of arrangements each with a hydraulically activated piston (8), a rod (11) of which is adapted to receive a nut (12), the retraction of which forcibly compels in attraction the cylinder liner (3) and the pumping (2).
