  • the bearing shell has a bearing shell recess in which the roller is rotatably mounted. Furthermore, the bearing shell on a side facing away from the LagerschalenausEnglishung a pin which is received in a housing bearing of the plunger housing. The bearing shell is coupled via an outer circumferential surface of the pin and an inner circumferential surface of the housing bearing with the plunger housing fixed by means of press fit.
  • the roller is supported on a drive device of the pump.
  • the roller tappet device has a VerFDbegrenzung of the bearing shell with respect to the plunger housing, for example by at least one bearing shell portion of the outer circumferential surface of the bearing shell and a respective housing portion of the inner circumferential surface of the plunger housing are formed parallel to each other curved such that a torque with respect to the longitudinal axis of the bearing shell on the Tappet housing is transferable, it is helped that a compression of the bearing shell can be directed with the plunger housing.
  • the bearing shell is initially aligned by means of the VerFDbegrenzung with respect to the plunger housing and then pressed.
  • a roller tappet device 1 for a pump in particular for a high-pressure fuel pump, comprises a tappet 3 with a longitudinal axis L (FIG. FIG. 1 ).
