Abstract: A valve module for fluidic connector strips is furnished in each case with a base plate (1). Parallel disposed, fluidic connector channels (2) are placed in the base plate (1). The base plate (1) is furthermore immediately connectable with a main valve (3), communicating with the connector channels (2). The valve module further exhibits a precontrol pilot valve (4) disposed on the main valve (3). The motion of the valve member of the main valve (3) is controllable by the precontrol pilot valve (4) based on a passage flow through a control channel (5) of the main valve (3). The precontrol pilot valve (4) includes an electromagnetic valve with electrical plug contacts (6). The electric plug contacts (6) are protected against humidity and moisture.

Abstract: A tappet for slide valves, in particular for pneumatic multi-way valves, is generally made of steel and has a basic cylindrical shape with control segments located on the basic cylindrical shape and with smaller-diameter intermediate segments, whereby control edges are formed at the transitions between the segments. To be able to manufacture a lightweight tappet using more economical methods, the tappet body is made of plastic and is hollow all the way through, the outer control segments and the smaller-diameter segments between the outer control segments have wall thicknesses which are equal for each type of segment, and the plastic comprise polyoxymethylene or polyamide with a proportion of fillers.
