Currently, electronically controlled fuel injection systems have become standard in diesel engines. There are two main approaches to achieving electronic control in these systems: one involves upgrading the traditional fuel injection pump-oil pipe-nozzle system with advanced electronic controls for the governor and fuel timing mechanism; the other is based on a completely new fuel injection concept, where the injector itself is directly controlled by an electronic system.
1. **Electronically Controlled Inline Fuel Injection Pump**
The most advanced electronically controlled inline fuel injection pumps offer multiple control functions, including fuel injection quantity and timing. Some models also include features like injection pressure and injection rate control. These systems typically use an electronic governor to manage fuel delivery, which allows for more precise control over fuel supply as engine speed changes. Compared to mechanical or electro-hydraulic governors, electronic governors respond much faster, making them ideal for a wide range of applications. Different manufacturers, such as DKK (Japan), Heinzmann (Germany), and Barber Colmann (USA), have developed various types of electronic governors. Additionally, electro-hydraulic governors like Bosch’s ESR type are widely used in high-performance systems.
2. **Electronic Unit Pump System**
Germany’s Bosch has developed the Electronic Unit Pump (EUP) system, which uses short high-pressure fuel lines to achieve injection pressures as high as 160 MPa. This system employs high-speed solenoid valves to precisely control both the timing and amount of fuel injected, improving efficiency and reducing emissions.
3. **Electronically Controlled Distributor Pump**
In distributor-type systems, fuel quantity and timing are generally controlled via high-speed solenoid valves. The closing time of the valve determines the start of injection, while the duration between closing and opening sets the injection amount. Examples include Toyota’s ECD-type VE pump and Audi’s electronically controlled distributor pumps. Stanadyne’s DS and RS series pumps have also been used in high-performance diesel engines, reaching injection pressures up to 140 MPa.
4. **Electronically Controlled Pump-Nozzle System**
As emission and noise regulations become stricter, modern truck diesel engines require injection pressures of up to 150 MPa. To meet this demand, major automakers are developing high-pressure electronic fuel injection systems. These systems can be divided into mechanically driven and accumulator types, both capable of achieving high injection pressures, improving atomization, and reducing turbulence in the combustion chamber.
5. **Mechanically Driven Electronically Controlled Pump-Nozzle Systems**
These systems are among the most mature in the industry, with examples like Detroit Diesel’s DDEC, Bosch’s PDE27 and PDE28, Caterpillar’s electronic pump nozzles, and Lucas CAV’s EUI. Current models already reach 150 MPa, while research engines can go beyond 200 MPa. These systems are used across a wide range of engine sizes, from small single-cylinder units to heavy-duty engines, delivering excellent performance.
6. **Electronically Controlled Accumulator Pump-Nozzle System**
Recent developments in accumulator-based systems have focused on eliminating the need for mechanical drives. These systems combine electronic and hydraulic controls to regulate injection timing and pressure independently of engine speed. Caterpillar’s HEUI system, for example, can maintain high injection pressure (up to 150 MPa) and offers precise control over the injection rate, leading to better performance and lower emissions. BKM started developing these systems in 1975 and began mass production in 1983, with injection pressures reaching 160 MPa. Other notable systems include Komatsu’s KOMPICS, Denso’s ECD-U2 common rail, and Bosch’s common rail accumulator system.

Tips for Assembling Ball Screws with Dropped Balls
Â
First and foremost, it must be emphasized that users are not recommended to disassemble or install the nut by themselves, especially for high-Precision Ball Screws. If the balls in the nut accidentally fall out or the nut has already been disassembled, it is best to send it back to our company for after-sales maintenance. If urgent use is required, please follow the steps below to reinstall the nut.
Â
1. Prepare a hollow sleeve: Fabricate a hollow sleeve with an outer diameter slightly smaller than the ball screw raceway diameter (about 0.1mm smaller) and an inner diameter slightly larger than the outer diameter of the ball screw end. The length of the sleeve should be slightly longer than the nut.
2. Block one end of the sleeve: Seal one end of the hollow sleeve with a soft material (such as foam packaging). Insert the sleeve into the cleaned nut (with no balls inside).
3. Load the balls: Fill the balls into each circular groove one by one. After filling a full circle (leave a gap equivalent to 0.5-1.5 ball diameters), gently rotate the hollow sleeve to ensure smooth movement. Then push the sleeve forward to load the next circle of steel balls, repeating until all grooves are filled.
4. Remove the blocking material: Take out the filler from the end of the sleeve. Slide the sleeve (with the nut attached) over the end of the linear ball screw shaft.
5. Install the nut onto the linear motion screw: Hold the hollow sleeve firmly with one hand and slowly screw the nut onto the ball screw kit with the other hand until the nut smoothly engages the entire effective thread raceway of the ball screw set.
6. Lubricate and test: Inject grease or lubricating oil through the nut’s oil hole. Rotate the nut to move it back and forth for at least 2 full strokes to confirm smooth operation. Finally, inject lubricating grease once more to complete the process.Hojama ball screw assemblies will be installed before shipment and we will give them a full inspection to ensure the quality of the product.
