Abstract: A solenoid valve is for controlling an injection valve of an internal combustion engine, including a housing part, an electromagnet having a magnetic coil and a magnetic core, an armature acted upon by a valve spring and axially movable between the electromagnet and a valve seat, and a control valve member moved by the armature and cooperating with the valve seat for opening and closing a fuel passage, in which the armature is situated in the housing part movable in the radial direction free from mechanical guiding means. A further development provides that, when a current is applied to the electromagnet,the armature may be aligned in the radial direction, by magnetic reluctance forces then acting upon the armature, into a centrical position with reference to the centerline of the electromagnet.

Abstract: A preinjection valve with a valve body, in which an inlet conduit is embodied which can be filled with fuel at high pressure via a high-pressure pump. An outlet conduit is embodied in the valve body and discharges laterally into the inlet conduit and communicates with a fuel injection valve via a high-pressure line. A preinjection valve member is guided sealingly in the inlet conduit and is moved counter to a closing force by the fuel pressure in the inlet conduit and after executing a preinjection stroke (hv) comes to rest on a deflection valve member guided, likewise sealingly, in the inlet conduit. By the motion of the preinjection valve member, a preinjection quantity is pumped into the outlet conduit and delivered to the fuel injection valve.
