A method for manufacturing a component with moulded-on seal, in particular a pump component. The component is laid in an injection-moulding tool, then a sealing material is injected from an injection gate into the injection-moulding tool and fills a cavity on one side of the component. Sufficient sealing material is injected for a part of the sealing material to pass from the cavity, via an overflow channel connected to the cavity, into an overflow chamber which is provided inside the contour of the component. A component can includes the moulded-on seal.

Component with moulded-on seal

A fluid pump, in particular an oil pump, for supplying a clutch actuator, a gearbox actuator, a lubrication system, and/or a cooling system of a drive train, includes a pump unit, an electrical drive unit, and a one-piece sealing element. The pump unit is arranged in a first housing part of the fluid pump, and the electrical drive unit is arranged in a second housing part of the fluid pump. The one-piece sealing element seals the first housing part against the second housing part, and seals the first housing part against a housing cover arranged on a side opposite the second housing part. Furthermore, a method for producing such a fluid pump includes arranging a pump unit in a first housing part of the fluid pump and moulding a sealing element onto the first housing part.

A device is for producing a component from a plastics material by injection moulding. The device includes two mould halves that can be pressed together releasably and, in the pressed-together state, form at least one gate region and at least one common cavity for moulding the plastics material. The gate region is fluidically connected to the cavity for the purpose of introducing the plastics material into the cavity. At least one insert part is provided which is arranged at least partially in a partial region of the gate region and is formed to prevent or at least to impede flowing of the plastics material through this partial region.
