An engine device having a flywheel housing in which a flywheel that is rotated integrally with a crankshaft is accommodated on one side portion of a cylinder block, in which the cylinder block is integrally formed with housing bracket portions each protruding in a direction away from the crankshaft from each of opposite side portions of the cylinder block extending along a crankshaft axial direction, the housing bracket portions protruding from end portions of the opposite side portions close to the one side portion, and a space surrounded by the one side portion, the housing bracket portions, and the flywheel housing constitutes a gear case for accommodating therein a gear train.

A supercharged engine is provided, which includes an engine body having cylinders, an intake passage disposed outside the engine body and connected to the cylinders via intake ports, a supercharger provided in the intake passage and spaced apart from an intake-side side surface of the engine body, the intake-side side surface being connected to the intake passage, and a fuel pump disposed on the intake-side side surface. A portion of the intake passage constitutes an intervening part located between the supercharger and the engine body. The intervening part overlaps with the fuel pump in one of vertical and lateral directions of the engine body.

A roller for a mechanical fuel pump assembly includes an elongate body extending from a first axial end to a second axial end of the elongate body over an overall length of the elongate body. The elongate body defines an effective length that is less than the overall length. The elongate body defines a uniform circular cross section over a second length of the elongate body. The second length is 75 to 90 percent of the effective length and the second length extends between a first plane and a second plane. A first area of reduced cross section extends axially outward from the first plane to a third plane located axially inward of the first axial end; and a second area of reduced cross section extends axially outward from the second plane to a fourth plane located axially inward of the second axial end.

Disclosed is a pump, in particular a high-pressure fuel pump, comprising at least one pump element (10) that has a roller tappet (20) inside which a roller (42) is rotatably mounted on a bearing bolt (44) by means of a bearing sleeve (46), said roller (42) rolling off a cam (22) of an input shaft (24). The bearing sleeve (46) is made of a plastic material, especially polyether ether ketone (PEEK) or polyphthalamide (PPA).

Methods and systems are provided for a gear driven diesel fuel injection pump of an engine. In one example, a front end of an engine includes an idler gear in meshing engagement with a first end of a crankshaft and a fuel pump drive gear in meshing engagement with the idler gear. The front end of the engine may further include a fuel pump, where an input shaft of the fuel pump is directly coupled to the fuel pump drive gear.

Provided are a pump and a fuel injection device, in which fuel discharge failure and fuel pressure failure are prevented by suppressing generation of vapor, thereby enabling vehicles, agricultural machines, generators, and the like, which are provided with internal combustion engines, to operate stably. A pump is provided with: a pump body having a pump chamber defined therein; a plunger reciprocating in response to the rotation of an eccentric cam, thereby feeding fuel sucked in the pump chamber to an injector; and an input portion to which rotational torque from the outside is applied. The input portion is provided with the eccentric earn coupled to a joint member connected to a rotating member; a boss section for rotatably supporting the joint member; and a bush for restricting the axial movement of the joint member.
