A method for controlling a high-pressure pump for the injection of fuel into a combustion engine, the high-pressure pump being connected to a camshaft of the combustion engine, wherein the high-pressure pump is controlled in a camshaft-synchronous manner by ascertaining an angular offset between the flank positions of a camshaft pulse-generating wheel and a predefinable point above the bottom dead center of a cam of the high-pressure pump on the camshaft.

The invention relates to a reciprocating pump (1) comprising a roller tappet (2) and a pump plunger (10) that is operatively connected to the roller tappet (2). The roller tappet (2) has a roller support (3), a roller (4) and a pin (5). A first bearing eye (6) and a second bearing eye (7) are formed in the roller support (3), the pin (5) being supported in the first bearing eye (6) and in the second bearing eye (7). The roller (4) is rotatably mounted on the pin (5). The pin (5) is mounted more resiliently in the first bearing eye (6) than in the second bearing eye (7).

A rotary compressor or pump has a cam with a plurality of lobes mechanically engaging a plurality of pistons. The lobes urge the pistons from an open to a closed position within a piston void, the closure of the piston into the piston void creating compression or pressure of a material. Each piston is linked to another piston, and as one piston is closed by the cam, the other piston is opened by a linkage.

Systems and methods including spacers comprising a first face configured to engage with a cam shaft, a second face, and a third face operationally coupled to the first face and the second face, wherein the third face is configured to displace a lubricating fluid and permit rotation of the cam shaft are disclosed.

A method is provided for controlling operation of a fueling system including a fuel pump driven by an engine geartrain and a fuel accumulator supplied fuel by the fuel pump, comprising: determining whether an operating parameter of the engine is less than a threshold value; responding to the operating parameter being less than the threshold value by causing an inlet valve of the fuel pump to operate in a 100 percent fill mode, whereby a pumping chamber in the fuel pump is approximately fully filled for at least one pumping cycle; determining whether a fuel pressure in the fuel accumulator is greater than a desired value while the inlet valve is in the 100 percent fill mode; and responding to the fuel pressure being greater than the desired value by activating an outlet valve of the fuel accumulator to drain fuel in the fuel accumulator to a fuel tank.

The piston compressor comprises a cylinder as well as a piston arranged therein, a carrier housing with a crosshead mounted in the carrier housing, a spacer which connects the cylinder to the carrier housing, as well as a piston rod extending in a longitudinal direction (L) which connects the crosshead to the piston, wherein the spacer comprises a plurality of support arms, wherein the support arms are connected to and support the cylinder.

A pressurized fluid supply apparatus and method of supplying pressurized fluid is provided. The pressurized fluid supply apparatus includes a housing configured to rotate about an axis, at least one fluid pump coupled to the housing and configured to pressurize a fluid therein, and at least one movable element disposed within the housing. The at least one movable element is configured to move within the housing when the housing rotates about the axis, which causes the at least one movable element to be in periodic driving engagement with the at least one fluid pump to cause the fluid to be pressurized.

According to at least one aspect, the present disclosure provides a piston pump comprising: a piston unit configured to reciprocate by driving of a motor cam; a sleeve unit disposed to surround at least a part of the piston unit and having a space in which brake oil is stored; and a check valve unit facing the sleeve unit and discharging the brake oil to an outside of the sleeve unit when a pressure of the brake oil increases, wherein the piston unit includes a first piston having a first end in contact with the motor cam and reciprocating, a second piston having a first end coupled to a second end of the first piston and configured to press the brake oil, and a spring cap coupled to a second end of the second piston and disposed to accommodate an inlet spring therein.

Present examples provide a fluid ejection apparatus which may comprise a pump having a pump body and a plurality of diaphragms disposed in the pump body. A plurality of fluid chambers are each associated with the plurality of diaphragms. A timing mechanism may open a leading fluid chamber of the plurality of fluid chambers and close a trailing fluid chamber of the plurality of chambers simultaneously with movement of corresponding pairs of the diaphragms. A third fluid chamber may be in a dwell mode. The movement of the timing mechanism causes discreet packet transfer of fluid between the leading and trailing fluid chambers or between a fluid chamber and a coupling.

An apparatus for treating a tissue site with negative pressure having a pump and a pump actuator. The pump may include a chamber wall that may define a pump chamber. The pump actuator may include a mechanism to actuate the pump. The pump actuator may be releasably coupled to the pump. In some examples, the chamber wall may include a drive surface and the pump actuator may include a cylindrical cam having a working surface configured to engage with the drive surface of the pump. In some examples, the pump actuator may have an actuator arm configured to couple to the pump to actuate the pump. Actuation of the pump may create a negative pressure in the pump chamber that may be delivered to a tissue site.
