Abstract
The invention relates to a pump assembly for a hydraulic brake system with traction control, having an electric motor and a piston pump. To reduce a bearing load, the invention proposes rotatably supporting and thereby radially bracing a motor shaft, or an eccentric sleeve pressed onto the motor shaft, on both sides of pump pistons. To economize on installation space, a pump bearing is disposed in an end of the eccentric sleeve that protrudes past the motor shaft.
Claims8
A pump assembly for a hydraulic vehicle brake system, having an electric motor and having a piston pump driven by the electric motor, the electric motor having a motor shaft that is supported rotatably, on a side toward the piston pump, by a motor bearing near the pump, and the piston pump has an eccentric sleeve which is fixed against relative rotation to the motor shaft of the electric motor and protrudes axially past the motor shaft and by rotation drives a pump piston of the piston pump to execute a reciprocating motion, and the eccentric sleeve is supported rotatably by a pump bearing, on a pump shaft that is mounted in a pump housing and protrudes into the eccentric sleeve, characterized in that the eccentric sleeve (36) is pressed onto the motor shaft (18), and that the motor bearing (26) near the pump and the pump bearing (38) are disposed axially offset to the pump piston (48), with the motor bearing (26) near the pump disposed on one side of the pump piston (48), and the pump bearing (38) disposed on the other side of the pump piston.
