Abstract
Abstract A fuel injection pump for internal combustion engines is proposed, which is realized as a radial piston pump. To supply eight-cylinder engines or multi-cylinder engines at high rpm or to realize a pre-injection with large angular intervals, a radial piston pump is proposed the pump pistons of which are firmly connected to the roller shoes driving the pump pistons, and the rollers carried by the roller shoes roll off simultaneously on a first cam track of a first, outer roller ring and on cam tracks of second, inner roller rings and are thereby compulsorily guided between the cam tracks of the two roller rings.
