Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed is a pump, in particular a high-pressure fuel pump, comprising at least one pump element ( 10 ) that has a roller tappet ( 20 ) inside which a roller ( 42 ) is rotatably mounted on a bearing bolt ( 44 ) by means of a bearing sleeve ( 46 ), said roller ( 42 ) rolling off a cam ( 22 ) of an input shaft ( 24 ). The bearing sleeve ( 46 ) is made of a plastic material, especially polyether ether ketone (PEEK) or polyphthalamide (PPA).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A pump, having at least one pump element ( 10 ), which comprises a roller tappet ( 20 ), in which a roller ( 42 ), which rolls on a cam ( 22 ) of a drive shaft ( 24 ), is rotatably supported on a bearing pin ( 44 ) by a bearing bush ( 46 ), characterized in that the bearing bush ( 46 ) is made from a plastic material, wherein at least one filler is added to the plastic material of the bearing bush ( 46 ) to improve an emergency running characteristic of the bearing bush ( 46 ) in an event of inadequate lubrication. 2. The pump as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the bearing bush ( 46 ) is made from polyether ether ketone (PEEK). 3. The pump as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the bearing bush ( 46 ) is made from polyphthalamide (PPA). 4. The pump as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the bearing bush ( 46 ) is made from polyphenylene sulfide (PPS). 5. The pump as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the bearing bush ( 46 ) is made from polyimide or polyamide imide. 6. The pump as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the at least one filler comprises at least one of carbon fibers, glass fibers, potassium titanate, polyaramid, titanium dioxide, zinc sulfide, graphite, or polytetrafluoroethylene. 7. The pump as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the bearing bush ( 46 ) is produced by an injection molding method. 8. The pump as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the bearing bush ( 46 ) is produced by a method of pressing. 9. The pump as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the bearing bush ( 46 ) is produced as a portion of a bar material. 10. The pump as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the pump is a high-pressure fuel pump.
