7C-1512: 34.036mm Outer Diameter Oil Pump Plunger

The Oil Pump Plunger is a cylindrical-shaped piston that is housed within the oil pump. The primary function of the Oil Pump Plunger is to draw oil from the oil sump or oil pan and deliver it under pressure to the engine's lubrication system. As the plunger reciprocates or rotates within the pump housing, it creates a pumping action that draws in oil during the suction stroke and pushes it out during the discharge stroke. Attributes: • Manufactured with steel to withstand the high pressure and temperature encountered within the lubrication system. • Ensures that all moving parts are adequately lubricated • Rockwell hardness is 30N 73 (minimum) and depth ranges from 0.3 - 0.6 • Reduces wear, and heat generation, thereby contributing to the overall performance, longevity, and reliability of the engine Applications: The Oil Pump Plunger is placed within a cylinder or bore in the pump housing, which is sealed to maintain the pressure generated.
