Abstract
A radial piston pump for a high-pressure fuel supply in fuel injection systems of internal combustion engines includes a drive shaft, supported in a pump housing, and a plurality of pistons disposed radially with respect to the drive shaft in respective cylinder chambers. The pistons are movable back and forth in the radial direction, and for each piston, one metal insert part forming the respective cylinder chamber is provided inside the housing and radially to the drive shaft to communicate with the intake side and with the high-pressure side. The respective insert part in the direction of the drive shaft between two flangelike metal housing parts with bearing faces extend perpendicular to the drive shaft and rests on these faces. The respective insert part has a fuel delivery opening and a fuel discharge opening, which discharges in the region of the bearing faces and are aligned with a further respective delivery and discharge opening in the housing parts. The flangelike housing parts are tightened against one another, with the interposition of the insert parts, in such a way that the bearing faces of the respective insert part and housing parts effect high-pressure sealing with the interposition of sealing elements.
