A self-sealing and self-centering piston has a domed piston plate and a substantially cylindrical skirt section. The skirt section joins the rear of the piston plate. A gap having a depth is formed between a first portion of the skirt section and a front lamella. A rear lamella adjoins the front lamella. In addition, a second section of the skirt section has a first seal and a second seal.

A fluid actuator includes housing defining a cylinder bore and first and second fluid passages. A circumferential detent groove extends into the housing from the cylinder bore. The cylinder bore receives a piston having a top face and a skirt in sliding engagement. A circumferential detent ring groove extends radially inwardly into the skirt. The detent ring groove has a first portion of a first depth and a second portion of a second, greater depth. An o-ring is at least partially received in the second portion. A wear ring is at least partially received in the first portion and overlies the o-ring. The o-ring biases the wear ring outwardly of the detent ring so that the wear ring may be selectively engaged with the detent groove.

The invention relates to a die casting ring (1) internally fitted with radial teeth (11) to be engaged into matching seats (22) provided on a piston (2). This piston-ring assembly prevents mutual rotation or axial translation, in addition to ensuring an optimal seal against infiltration of liquid metal during the die casting process. When the ring has a cutout (10), it can be mounted accurately onto the piston because the teeth (11) allow the cutout to be positioned anywhere relative to the piston.

A pump assembly for generating pressure in a brake circuit of a controllable power brake system of a motor vehicle. The pump assembly has, as a pressure generator, a piston-cylinder unit in which a piston is actuated with the aid of a piston drive. The piston drive converts a rotational movement, with which a nut of this piston drive is driven, into a translatory movement of a spindle, which is in turn connected to the piston in a rotationally fixed manner. The piston is a steel component in which a plastic deformation at a piston head forms a device for connecting the spindle to the piston in a rotationally fixed manner.

Piston (1) of an internal combustion engine, which piston is designed in structured construction, comprising two oppositely arranged load-bearing skirt wall portions (2), wherein a connecting wall (3) respectively extends, starting from a pin boss (4), in the direction of the side edge of the load-bearing skirt wall portions (2), characterized in that in an interior of the piston (1) is (are) disposed at least one rib (5, 6, 7), preferably three ribs (5, 6, 7), and the material of the regions around the at least one rib (5, 6, 7) is reduced.
