Hi,
sorry for the confusion.
If i will find a bit time between christmas and new year, i will make a revised version of the pump build thread here in english.
The screw is the limiting stop for the piston, the screwhead + shims makes the pre-stressing. So in fact it is not an "adjustable"
limiting stop, but i can change the value just by change the screw.
Here are some more details from the VP37 stuff, which i used:
The VP37 spring has a free length of 50,7 mm and a solid length of 25,7 mm.
The stock pr-stressing is 6,1 mm, by using 2,2 mm shims.
If i would have put that together with the VP37 cover plate in my special VE pump, with the changed static position of the piston,
and use my stock 3,2 mm shims instead of the VP37 2,2 mm, i would came out with a maximum stroke of 18,4 mm
due to the solid length of the spring. The pr-stress would be 6,6 mm in that arrangement.
Due to the fact, that the piston can dip 4mm in the VP37 cover plate, the max. stroke due to the piston would be
19 mm. But both values are only theoretical, becuase even the enlarged channel will not allow that much stroke, so
without a special limiting pin, the stroke were limited due to the channel in the casing, what would be not good.
What i have done, and can be seen on the pictures is, that i have took a coach bolt and grinded the head as long,
as it will fit in the VP37 cover plate. The thread will be inside the spring and the head worked like a shim, due to the
the spring also fixed the position of the bolt. To prevent swarf, i put a small shim between the cover plate (alu) and
the coach bolt. So actualy the max. stroke is limited due to bolt.
With all that done we get following values:
max. stroke due to piston / cover plate: 19,0 mm
max. stroke due to solid length of the spring: 17,0 mm
max. stroke due to piston / coach bolt: 12,7 mm (is less than what would be possible due to the enlarged channel)
By following the math from my previous post, the stroke of 12,7 mm is equal to 14,7° rotating angle IP or 29,4° rotanting angle
crank shaft, which will bring proper dynamik timing up to 5900 rpm.
@ Dieselstink,
to be honest, i did not have checked if the roller cage can hit the governor. But thanks for the chain of thought, i will check next time.
Best Regards
