Abstract: An electromagnetic actuator having at least one electromagnetic actuator unit, the actuator unit comprising a coil and a plunger, which plunger is axially movable relative to the coil via energization of the coil, and the actuator unit being arranged in a housing. In order to achieve a particularly simple design, the plunger is arranged approximately coaxially with the coil according to the invention.

Abstract: Valve device, in particular for an exhaust gas section of an internal combustion engine, includes a valve housing with an inlet and outlet, a valve seat arranged between the inlet and outlet and having a valve opening, closeable by a valve closing member pressed against the valve seat by a predetermined force, and a diaphragm acting on the valve closing member. A first control chamber is separated from a second control chamber by the diaphragm so that the valve is switched by a pressure difference between the first control chamber and second control chamber. For reliable opening even under adverse operating conditions, the diaphragm is connected to the valve closing member, at least over a partial range of a possible stroke of the valve closing member, via a gear mechanism to translate movement of the diaphragm into movement of the valve closing member at a lower speed.

Abstract: A valve, comprising a housing with an inlet and an outlet, a closure, which is displaceable between a first position and a second position, wherein in the first position, a flow path from the inlet to the outlet is formed or interrupted, and wherein the flow path is interrupted or formed in the second position, and an actuation unit having a coil and an armature. The armature displaces the closure between the two positions subject to a current applied to the coil, wherein the armature has a cone, wherein a force on the armature is modifiable via an ascent of the cone.
