Abstract: A control valve for controlling the supply of pressurized fluid to a working element, such as a pneumatic spring, comprises a housing having a bore comprising first and second bore sections with a smaller diameter middle bore section. A connection for a source of pressurized fluid communicates with the first bore section; an outlet opening with the second bore section; and a working element, such as a pneumatic spring, is fed from the middle bore section. A valve stem is slidable within the middle bore section in response to displacement of the working element, and has a duct therethrough which can interconnect the first and the second bore sections but which can be closed off by a closure member in the first bore section. The closure member can also isolate the middle bore section from the first bore section.
