Abstract

Disclosed is a piston pump having a pump housing with a cylinder head comprised of a first plate and a second plate. The plates which rest against each other and are screwed to the pump housing, have a first conduit which carries low-pressure fuel and leads to a first check valve disposed between the two plates. The check valve communicates with a cylinder chamber of the radial piston pump. A second conduit carrying high-pressure fuel leads from this cylinder chamber to a second check valve, which is disposed between the first plate and the pump housing. Seals that are appropriate to the load, in fact low-pressure seals, are provided in the region of the cylinder head that is subjected to low pressure and high-pressure seals are provided in the region of the cylinder head that is subjected to high pressure.
