Abstract: An electromagnetically-actuated piloted valve includes a housing provided with a plurality of cavities through which a pressurized operating fluid can enter or exit the valve, a driving device including an electromagnet, and a plugging device that is longitudinally movable along two opposite parallel directions and driven by the driving device. The valve includes an abutting element provided with at least one through hole arranged for being selectively engaged or disengaged from the plugging device so as to alternatively enable or prevent the operating fluid from traversing the hole and thus alternatively enabling or preventing the passage of the operating fluid through the valve.
