Abstract
A radial piston pump has a support ring disposed on an eccentric longitudinal section of a pump shaft for rotation relative to the pump shaft. The support ring has at least three mutually offset flat support faces uniformly distributed about the circumference and adapted to contact piston shoes connected with pistons that extend radially from the pump shaft. The piston shoes engage from behind with radial flanges support rails disposed on the support ring. Spring-supported pressure rings prevent the piston shoes from rotating relative to the support ring. The pistons extend through guide bushing with an outside diameter that is greater than the diameter of the radial flanges and also greater than the outside diameter of the pressure rings.
