Oil pumps for internal combustion engines – conventional, variable and electrical
Virtually all the engine makers use Pierburg Pump Technology oil pumps, customers including the global car and commercial vehicle industries. On an I.C. engine, the oil pump is one of the those components selected at the drawing board stage since the quality of its design and execution is a major ingredient in sustaining the upgradeability of the basic engineering throughout many years of series production.
Highly efficient R&D centers in Italy, France, and Germany, operate large numbers of engine test rigs and dynamometer roller test stands plus product-specific continuous and
functional testing rigs. The engineering design and computations are carried out using customer-specific CAD software and the latest programs for computing pumps and pump
components.
Pierburg Pump Technology pumps have external gearing, internal gearing for direct crankshaft or auxiliary drives as well as gearing engineered to customer specifications.
Oil flow is normally regulated by integrated, piston-type pressure-limiting valves.
