  • ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY OF A DIGITAL INLET VALVE
    Publication number: 20180238281
    Abstract: An actuator assembly of a digital inlet valve for a fuel pump adapted to cooperate with an inlet valve member includes an actuator body in which is fixed a coil, a cover closing the body and, a magnetic core arranged in a core guiding bore provided in the actuator body. The magnetic core is slidable along a main axis in order, in use, to close an air gap under the influences of a first compression spring, and of a magnetic field, the core cooperating with the valve member.

  • PRESSURE REGULATING SOLENOID VALVE
    Publication number: 20170248111
    Abstract: A solenoid valve which regulates the pressure in a pressurized fuel injection system includes a body containing a needle that is pressed by an electromagnet including a coil and a magnetic core. The core has a cavity that is in fluid communication via an internal channel with a counterbore in the body into which the needle protrudes and into which fuel flows during use. The core also has a restriction which restricts the fluid communication and which attenuates pressure waves propagating in the fuel to prevent the waves from moving the core.
