Provided is a high-pressure fuel pump that ensures oil tightness even at high fuel pressure and has a small and lightweight inexpensive discharge valve structure. Therefore, a high-pressure fuel pump according to the present invention includes: a discharge valve arranged on a discharge side of a pressurizing chamber; a discharge valve seat on which the discharge valve is seated; and a facing member configured independently as a separate member from the discharge valve seat and located on an opposite side of the discharge valve seat with the discharge valve interposed therebetween, in which a stroke direction regulating portion that regulates displacement of the discharge valve in a stroke direction is formed on a tapered surface of the facing member.

The invention relates to an electromagnetically actuatable intake valve for a high-pressure pump of a fuel injection system, in particular a common rail injection system, comprising a magnet coil (1) for acting on an armature (2) which is received and guided such that it can be moved with a reciprocating movement in a central recess (3) of a valve body (4), wherein a pole core (6) which is connected via a sleeve (7) to the valve body (4) lies opposite the armature (2) at a working air gap (5). According to the invention, the valve body (4) has a circumferential cut-out (9) within an inner circumferential surface (8) which delimits the recess (3), which cut-out (9) divides the inner circumferential surface (8) into an upper and a lower guide region (10, 11). The invention also relates to a high-pressure pump for a fuel injection system, in particular a common rail injection system, comprising said type of intake valve.

An outlet valve includes an outlet valve housing with an outlet valve bore including an outlet valve seating surface. The outlet valve also includes an outlet valve member which moves within the outlet valve bore second portion between a closed position and an open position. A surface of the outlet valve bore guides the outlet valve member during movement between the closed position and the open position. The surface of the outlet valve bore and the outlet valve seating surface are provided on a continuous piece of material of the outlet valve housing. An outlet valve spring biases the outlet valve member toward the closed position and a retainer is fixed to the outlet valve housing which grounds the outlet valve spring to the outlet valve housing.

A shuttle valve for a control valve coupled to an electronic fuel injector is disclosed. The shuttle valve may include a shuttle valve first end including an armature attachment portion operably coupled to an armature of the control valve and a shuttle valve second end opposite the shuttle valve first end defining a sealing portion of the control valve including an annular sealing surface. A valve guide portion may extend axially along a portion of the shuttle valve between the first and second ends. Furthermore, an engagement surface portion may be defined along the valve guide portion that is slidably engaged with a valve bore. Moreover, the shuttle valve may include a non-engagement surface portion defined along the valve guide portion, wherein the non-engagement surface is a non-continuous surface around a circumference of the valve guide portion and wherein the non-engagement surface is interspersed between portions of the engagement surface.

The present disclosure relates to internal combustion engines. Various embodiments of the teaching thereof may include a fluid injection device for internal combustion engines, for example: a valve body with a valve needle; a spring element compressed in a radial direction between the valve body and the valve needle; the spring element supporting the valve needle on the valve body; and the spring element guiding the valve needle to at least substantially prevent tilting of the valve needle relative to the longitudinal axis during operation of the fluid injection device.

Movement of a valve body in an unspecified direction due to a minute clearance existing between a valve body and a guide changes the flow of fuel flowing into injection holes every injection, thereby leading to variation in respective beams of spray from the injection holes and the flow rate of injection between the injection holes. Provided are a valve body that sits on or separates from a seat; a plurality of guides that slidably guide the valve body; and a plurality of flow channel portions each formed between each guide adjacent circumferentially. Then, among the plurality of flow channel portions, the cross-sectional area of the first flow channel portion on a horizontal plane orthogonal to the central axis of the valve body is smaller than each of the cross-sectional areas of the remaining flow channel portions on the horizontal plane.

Arrangement comprising: a chamber that is formed between a first receptacle and a second receptacle for a rod-shaped element, wherein the receptacles open out to the chamber on opposite end-face sides thereof; a rod-shaped element that is accommodated in the receptacles via a respective section with radial play, in this regard with a receptacle radial play, the rod-shaped element passing through the chamber; and an annular body that is situated in the chamber and through which the rod-shaped element passes with radial play, in this regard an annular body radial play, wherein the annular body radial play is less than the receptacle radial play, wherein the arrangement has a first media side and a second media side that are connected to the chamber via the first receptacle and second receptacle, respectively, wherein the annular body is provided to be pressed into contact against an end-face side of the chamber.

A subassembly for a high pressure fuel injector control valve includes a control valve member and a sleeve attached to a stem of the control valve member, the sleeve extending along at least a partial axial length of the stem of the control valve member, and wherein a clearance, provided between the sleeve and the control valve member, is in fluid communication with the control chamber such that during use, pressure compensation occurs, as the sleeve is caused to expand and seal against the control valve bore, thereby preventing leakage of fuel within the control valve assembly.

An electromagnetic actuator for a valve mechanism, in particular in a common rail system of a motor vehicle, comprising an armature tappet for actuating a valve element located in a channel, and comprising a pole core, the armature tappet being movable axially along a central axis of the actuator when an excitation coil of an excitation system is energized. The pole core therefore has a tubular shape and has a circumferential flange in the area of the pole core end facing the channel, said flange extending inward in relation to the central axis.

There is disclosed a solenoid valve for a fuel injection system, in which solenoid valve a closing element which interacts with a valve seat in order to close and open the solenoid valve is actuated by a control pin, the control pin being formed by way of a solenoid plunger. Furthermore, a high pressure fuel pump is disclosed which has a solenoid valve of this type.
