Abstract
The invention relates to a radial piston pump for high-pressure fuel delivery in fuel injection systems of internal combustion engines in a common rail injection system having a drive shaft that is supported in a pump housing. The drive shaft is eccentrically embodied or has a number of cam-like projections in the circumference direction, and a number of pistons are arranged radially in relation to the drive shaft. Each piston reciprocates a respective cylinder chamber and is moved in a reciprocating fashion in the cylinder chamber when the drive shaft rotates. A spring-preloaded check valve is assembled on the intake side and on the high pressure side, and a component that includes a through opening constitutes the respective cylinder chamber. A high-pressure delivery opening leads away from the cylinder chamber and in the sealing seat of the high pressure side check valve, opens out into a mounting opening of the component. The mounting opening contains the valve components. In order to achieve a simplified assembly in a vicinity of the high pressure side check valve, with the exception of a valve body which is placed against the sealing seat, the high pressure side check valve is inserted into the mounting opening as a preassembled unit and is tightened against the component to form a high-pressure seal.
