  • Patent number: 6886509
    Abstract: The invention relates to a hydraulic actuator for actuating a gas exchange valve (1) of an internal combustion engine, which valve is especially closed by the effect of a spring. The actuator is configured by a feed pump (6) with intermittent and thus variable delivery. The feed pump (6) has a high frequency and can be equipped for this purpose with piezoelectric, magnetorestrictive and/or electrochemical actuators as the feed elements. Optionally, the feed pump (6) can be operated with a stop valve (7) that is disposed downstream of the gas exchange valve (1) and that is controlled or regulated depending on the feed pump.
