Zusammenfassung:The fuel pump valve assembly comprises a valve member 32 defining a valve axis (A), and an electromagnetically controlled armature assembly 48 c to reciprocate along the valve axis within an armature chamber 54 of the pump. The pump further comprises a spring 52 to engage a first side 66 of the armature assembly to provide a spring force acting in a first direction along the valve axis, and a lift stop 56 provided on a floor surface of the armature chamber to engage a second side 70 of the armature assembly to limit movement of the armature assembly. The armature assembly comprises an armature body 60 formed of a magnetic material, a spring-interfacing portion 68 formed of a different material to the armature body, and a lift stop-interfacing portion 72 formed of a different material to the armature body. The armature assembly provides improved wear resistance characteristics.
