A roller lifter includes a lifter body having a cylindrical peripheral wall and a roller rotatably mounted on the lifter body via a shaft member and brought into contact with a cam. The peripheral wall has an outer periphery formed with a sliding surface which is slid on an inner wall of a cylinder. The lifter body has a rotation stopper formed by outwardly protruding a part of the peripheral wall, and an opening formed in another part of the peripheral wall which another part is radially opposed to the rotation stopper. The opening is open so that the rotation stopper oppositely faces the opening.

A connecting device for fuel injection systems is used for joining a fuel injector to a cup and to a fuel-conveying component. In this context, connecting elements are provided, which are insertable into the cup in such a manner, that they are situated at least approximately in one plane, which is oriented perpendicularly to a longitudinal axis of a cup. Connecting elements take the form of pin-shaped connecting elements. In addition, the connecting elements are formed in such a manner, that they are inserted into the cup, inside an outer cross-section of the cup. A securing element is also provided for securing the connecting elements. Furthermore, a fuel injection system having such a connecting device is provided.

An object of the present invention is to provide a fuel rail which can realize weight reduction while enhancing the strength of a cross-hole portion. A fuel rail for an internal combustion engine according to the present invention includes a cylindrical fuel rail body 1 and an injector mounting portion 2 in which a hole 2d to supply a fuel to an injector is formed, and the injector is mounted. The injector mounting portion 2 is integrally molded in the fuel rail body 1 such that the fuel supply hole 2d crosses a center hole 1a of the fuel rail body 1. plurality of injector mounting portions 2 is included along a longitudinal direction of the fuel rail body 1. A thickness of a root portion of the injector mounting portion 2 is thicker than a thickness of the fuel rail body 1 disposed between two adjacent injector mounting portions 2.

A fluid distributor rail for an injection system for mixture-compressing, externally ignited internal combustion engines for metering a highly pressurized fluid. The fluid distributor rail includes a base body, and at least one connector configured on the base body. The base body with the at least one connector configured on the base body is formed by single stage or multistage forging. At least one interior space of the base body and a hydraulic fluid passage which leads into the interior space via the at least one connector configured on the base body are formed on the base body by machining after the forging. At least one element for connection is formed at least in part by mechanical cold-forming on at least one connector configured on the base body.

There is provided a damper device that can be held in a housing space with simple work. A damper device, which is disposed and used in a housing space formed in a device unit, includes: a damper body that is filled with gas and includes a diaphragm provided with a deformable-action portion formed at a central portion thereof; and an annular clip that holds an outer peripheral edge portion of the damper body and causes a biasing force to act on an inner wall of a cover member, which forms the housing space, in a radial direction.

A fuel pump, is disclosed, including a power group having a housing, a coil, a pole piece and a movable armature; a valve group including a valve body, a plunger connected to the armature, a bushing in which the plunger is disposed, an inlet chamber, an outlet chamber, a pump chamber, an inlet valve disposed between the inlet chamber and the pump chamber and an outlet valve disposed between the pump chamber and the outlet valve; and an inlet filter coupled to a fluid inlet of the valve group. The inlet filter is disposed relative to the coil such that when the fuel pump is disposed within a fuel tank, a bottom of the inlet filter as oriented in the fuel tank is disposed above a fuel level in the fuel tank and the coil is at least partly submerged in the fuel.

A method for treating a pipe, in particular a motor vehicle pipe, wherein a flare is generated at least at one pipe end of the pipe. At least areas of the flare are provided with at least one layer, which changes the friction properties of the coated surface of the flare. The flare is coated by means of plasma coating.

A component for an injection system, in particular a fuel injection rail for a fuel injection system. The component includes a main body that is processed by a single-stage or multi-stage forging, at least one fastening element being provided on the main body. The fastening element is formed at least partly by a residual flash. An injection system having such a component, and a method for producing such a component, are also described.

A cylinder head assembly includes a cylinder head casting, and an injector sleeve within an injector bore in the cylinder head casting. The injector sleeve includes a first sleeve end, and an injector clamping surface formed by an inner sleeve surface adjacent to a cylindrical second sleeve end. The injector sleeve further includes a sleeve clamping surface in contact with an upward facing middle deck surface of the cylinder head casting, and a reaction wall extending between the injector clamping surface and the sleeve clamping surface to transfer an injector clamping load to the upward facing middle deck surface.
