Abstract: A gas metering valve for an internal combustion engine. The gas metering valve includes a housing in which a gas chamber is formed, which includes an inlet opening and an outlet opening. A movable valve element is situated in the gas chamber, which is movable by an electrical actuator against the force of a return spring and which cooperates with a valve seat for opening and closing the inlet opening. A blocking valve is situated between the valve element and the outlet opening, which opens in the flow direction to the outlet opening and blocks in the opposite flow direction.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a valve (1) that can be electromagnetically actuated which method comprises an electromagnet (2, 2a, 2b), an armature (3) that can be moved by the electromagnet (2, 2a, 2b), and a valve body (5), having means (4, 4a, 4b, 4c) for converting a movement of the armature (3) into an opening or closing of the valve (1), wherein the electromagnet (2, 2a, 2b) and the armature (3) are inserted into the valve body (5), wherein, before the electromagnet (2, 2a, 2b) is inserted into the valve body (5), a magnetic hysteresis curve (10) of a combination (6) of the electromagnet (2, 2a, 2b) having a test armature (3a) lying against said electromagnet (2, 2a, 2b) is recorded, the slope m1 of a first, substantially linear curve segment (11) of the hysteresis curve (10) is determined in the unsaturated state, and, from the slope m1, the slope m1* of a curve segment (31) of a hysteresis curve (30) of the finally assembled valve (1) having the armature (3) lying continuously agains

Abstract: An activation signal for activating a solenoid valve, in particular, a fuel injector of an internal combustion engine, has a pickup phase and a holding phase. The pickup phase has a comparatively high current and a maximally permissible duration, and the holding phase has a comparatively low current and a minimally permissible duration (MHD). The minimally permissible duration (MHD) of the holding phase is at least periodically dependent on a nominal total duration (GAD) of the activation signal.
