Abstract: A pressure regulating valve having a compression spring fixed in a valve housing for positioning a valve plunger connected to a magnetic armature in the position above a valve seat and not electromagnetically excited, in order to create a connection between at least two pressure medium channels opening into the valve housing, and having a further compression spring disposed coaxially to the first compression spring in the valve housing, having the characteristic that the first compression spring is designed as a control spring forming a stroke and force-specific spring drive by adjusting the spring rates of both compression springs to the force/distance curve of an electromagnet by varying the current in an exciter coil, wherein the further compression spring is designed as a variably adjustable spring acting opposite to the control spring.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a pressure control valve including a valve housing which houses a valve seat in a housing opening, a valve closure member which is movable into abutment on the valve seat and adapted to interconnect or isolate pressure fluid channels connected to the valve seat, a bore in a guide element for the accommodation of the valve closure member which is axially movably supported on the wall of the valve housing. The valve closure member is attached in the guide element by way of a simplified press fit in conformity with the demands of automation. The assembly of the valve coil is simplified in addition.
