A fuel pump includes a fuel pump housing made of stainless steel and having a pumping chamber therewithin, a plunger bore extending thereinto, an inlet passage extending thereinto, and an outlet passage extending thereinto. A pumping plunger reciprocates within the plunger bore such that an intake stroke of the pumping plunger increases volume of the pumping chamber and a compression stroke of the pumping plunger decreases volume of the pumping chamber. An outlet valve controls fuel flow from the pumping chamber out of the fuel pump housing. The outlet valve includes an outlet valve seating surface formed by the fuel pump housing within the outlet passage such that a nitrided layer extends from the outlet valve seating surface into the fuel pump housing. The outlet valve also includes an outlet valve member within the outlet passage which is moveable between a seated position and an unseated position.

Various embodiments include a valve comprising a valve body including a valve seat; and a valve element movable along a longitudinal axis to close the on-off valve by sealing against the valve seat. The valve body includes a conical lateral surface. The valve body includes a radially extending spring projection which is resilient in an axial direction and projects radially beyond the lateral surface.

The invention relates to a high-pressure fuel pump (10) having a housing (12) in which a pressure-limiting valve (38) is arranged in a bore (36), wherein the bore (36) leads into an inflow volume (30) of a low-pressure inflow (22).

A valve assembly for a fluid pump includes a valve body; a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet defined in the valve body; a valve seat; and an inlet disk disposed in the valve body having an inner portion, an outer portion fixed within the valve body, and a plurality of legs connected between the inner portion and the outer portion so that the inner portion is movable between a first position against the valve seat and a second position spaced apart from the valve seat. The connection between the legs, the inner portion and the outer portion provides a spring bias force to the inner portion against movement of the inner portion from the first position. The plurality of legs, the inner portion and the outer portion are configured such that the spring bias force is asymmetric as applied to the inner portion of the inlet disk.

Disclosed herein is a high-pressure fuel pump. The high-pressure fuel pump includes a housing including a chamber provided to compress fuel supplied thereinto, an inlet flow passage that communicates with the chamber to draw fuel into the chamber through the inlet flow passage, and a discharge flow passage that communicates with the chamber to discharge the fuel out of the chamber through the discharge flow passage. The high-pressure fuel pump further includes a piston disposed in the housing and configured to linearly reciprocate to compress the fuel supplied into the chamber; and a discharge valve disposed in the discharge flow passage of the housing and configured to open when a pressure of fuel stored in the chamber is equal to or greater than a first pressure, the discharge valve including an open-and-close member that makes line contact with an inlet of the discharge valve to close the inlet.

The present invention provides an inexpensive valve unit fixing structure that enables a valve unit to be easily fixed without the need for unitization in advance, and a fluid pump that enables a discharge valve and a relief valve to be incorporated in a compact manner. The valve unit fixing structure includes a main body (3), a discharge communication passage (9) provided inside the main body (3), a discharge valve unit (10) which is provided in the main body (3) and which opens/closes the discharge communication passage (9), and deformed fixing parts (35) which are formed by plastically deforming the main body (3) and which fix the discharge valve unit (10) to the main body (3).

A fuel injection pump includes a cam rotating with a camshaft, a tappet reciprocating in response to rotation of the cam, a cylinder, a plunger, and a thrust washer. The thrust washer is located between the cam and a casing housing the camshaft at both ends of the cam in an axial direction of the cam. The tappet includes a tappet body, a roller, a supporting member, and a contact surface formed at an outer peripheral part of the tappet. The thrust washer includes a rotation restricting part that protrudes toward the tappet over a maximum lift position. The rotation restricting part restricts rotation of the tappet relative to a center axis of the tappet body by being contact with the contact surface.

A piston fuel pump for an internal combustion engine includes a pump housing, a piston, and a non-return discharge valve. The non-return discharge valve has a valve element and a guide element configured to guide the movement of the valve element. The guide element is at least indirectly pressed in a radial manner into an opening in the pump housing.

A pump body of a high pressure fuel pump defines a compression chamber in fluid communication with a first recess dug in a first outer face. A second recess is dug in a second outer face of the body. An inlet channel opens in a conduit extending between the first recess and the second recess.

The invention relates to a line termination element (4) for a ventilation outlet of a fluid container (5), having a main body (2) which is formed as a closure element for a free end (3) of the ventilation outlet and which is cross-sectionally matched to the cross section of the ventilation outlet, comprising at least one flow passage as an insect barrier, which flow passage is smaller than a mouth cross section (17) of the ventilation outlet, and also at least one valve body (10), which, in a first position, closes off the mouth cross section (17) of the ventilation outlet and, in a second position, opens up the mouth cross section (17) of the ventilation outlet.
