  • Patent number: 4605197
    Abstract: A proportional pressure control device having a motor with a housing and a reciprocably movable armature oriented in the housing for movement between first and second limit positions. A valve body is secured to the motor housing. A platelike poppet valve member is secured to the armature on at least one end thereof. The valve body has a fluid pressure port thereon and it extends into the interior of the valve body to a chamber. A flow restrictor device is provided in the pressure port to restrict fluid flow from an external pressure source into the pressure port and the chamber. A nozzle outlet structure is provided in the chamber and has an annular flat valve seat thereon directly opposing the poppet valve member. The spacing between the valve seat and the poppet valve member effects a controlling of the magnitude of the fluid pressure developed in the chamber.
