A combination electric motor-pump unit which is installed on a body of a vehicle. The pump unit includes motor fastening screws with which the electric motor is fastened to the pump housing and which connect the pump unit to the vehicle body. This significantly reduces the number of required parts. The pump unit is provided for a brake system of a vehicle.

A reciprocating piston pump having a housing, pistons disposed opposite one another in the housing, an eccentric between the pistons, annular grooves that fit around the piston necks machined into piston ends oriented toward the eccentric, and a U-shaped hoop spring curved radially outside the eccentric in the circumferential direction thereof. The hoop spring includes forklike hoop spring ends which engage the annular grooves and press the piston ends toward the eccentric. In the circumferential direction of the substantially U-shaped hoop spring, a continuation is formed on the hoop spring and together with a stop disk aligned transversely to the eccentric shaft, forms a device that limits the pivotability of the hoop spring about the piston necks. The reciprocating piston pump is usable for instance in hydraulic motor vehicle brake systems and in other hydraulic equipment.

In a piston with an encompassing seal, which is seated slidably in a cylindrical receiving bore of a structural part such as a housing block and which can be acted upon by pressure on at least one end, the piston is intended to have a shoulder for receiving the seal. This shoulder divides a cylindrical running face of the piston of a segment having a jacket face, and a groove is formed into the jacket face for receiving a ring that secures the seal in the axial direction and also acts as a stripper ring protecting the sealing ring.
