A piston pump for the hydraulic energy supply in a motor vehicle, comprising a piston that is movably arranged in a stepped bore of an accommodating member that is provided with a closure, the piston carries a seat for an elastic sealing element which accommodates the sealing element with axial play, and with radial elastic preload for the purpose of sealing between piston and cylinder. The seat for the sealing element has a structure which generates forces pointing radially towards a piston axis and expanding the sealing element in a radial direction, and that the structure produces an elastic deformation of the sealing element for an increased and dosed sealing contact pressure between piston and cylinder.

Piston pump

The present invention relates to a valve assembly whose first valve accommodating member is conformed to the inside diameter of a second valve accommodating member in such a fashion that the first valve accommodating member is inserted without clearance so far into the second valve accommodating member that the first valve closure member is supported either on a bore step of a second pressure fluid passage or on the first valve accommodating member.

Valve mechanism, especially for anti-skid automotive brake systems

The present invention relates to an electromagnetic valve which includes a valve tappet that is axially movably arranged in a valve housing and fastened to a magnetic armature, and a valve piston axially movable in the valve housing, a diaphragm-type pressure fluid passage in the valve piston that is closed or opened by the valve tappet, another unthrottled pressure fluid passage arranged between the valve piston and the valve housing that is closed or opened by the valve piston, pressure fluid channels which open into the valve housing on either side of the valve piston, with both pressure fluid passages closed in the initial position of the electromagnetic valve. The valve piston will open the other, unthrottled pressure fluid passage only if, on the one hand, the hydraulic pressure acting on the valve piston in the valve closing direction is lower than the pressure of a spring fitted to the valve piston and active in the valve opening direction, and if, on the other hand, the pressure fluid passage in the valve piston is opened by the electromagnetic energization of the valve by means of the valve tappet.
