Abstract: An injection valve, including a valve body having a longitudinal axis; a valve needle axially movable in the valve body between closed and open positions; and an actuator having a movable armature coupled to the valve needle in order to move same, and a pole element fixed in the body, wherein an armature surface contacts a pole surface when the valve needle reaches the open position. The valve needle has a needle sleeve arranged in a through opening of the pole element such that a lateral surface of the needle sleeve is in sliding contact with the surface of the through opening for guiding valve needle movement. At least one of the surface of the through opening and the lateral surface of the needle sleeve is formed by a chromium nitride layer. The pole surface includes plural annular surfaces, only one of which contacts the armature surface.

Abstract: A valve assembly for an injection valve includes a valve body having a cavity with a fluid inlet portion and a fluid outlet portion, a valve needle axially movable in the cavity between a closing position preventing a fluid flow through the fluid outlet portion and further positions releasing the fluid flow through the fluid outlet portion, an electro-magnetic actuator unit that actuates the valve needle, and includes an axially movable armature in the cavity and a disc element fixedly coupled to the valve needle and configured to limit the axial movement of the armature relative to the valve needle towards the fluid outlet portion. An armature spring biases the armature away from the disc element for establishing a fluid-filled gap between the armature and the disc element. The armature is axially displaceable towards the disc element against the armature spring bias to reduce an axial size of the gap.

Abstract: A fuel injector may include a central longitudinal axis and may be arranged in a cylinder head of a combustion engine. The fuel injector has an injector body and an adjustment device, the adjustment device including a ring element configured to be arranged in a recess of a cylinder head between the injector body and the cylinder head to align the fuel injector relative to the recess in radial direction. The ring element comprises a magnetic material. A fuel-injection system is also disclosed that includes a cylinder head of an internal combustion engine and a fuel injector as disclosed above.

Abstract: A valve assembly includes a valve body, a movable valve needle, a movable armature, and an elastic member. The armature is axially moveable with respect to the needle so that, when the needle is in the closing position, the armature is movable from a first position further in the second direction to a second position against the bias of the elastic member. The elastic member has a plurality of beams, each beam having a first end and a second end which are axially and radially offset with respect to each other, and the armature is operable to reduce the axial offset between the first end and the second end when moving from the first to the second position.

Abstract: An injection valve (62) has an injection body (38) with a first cavity (7), wherein a valve body (4) is at least partially disposed and wherein an armature collar (28) is axially movable. The valve body (4) has a second cavity (8), wherein a valve needle (10) is axially movable. An armature (12) is axially movable at least partially within the first cavity (7) and has a first cylindrical portion (32) and a second cylindrical portion (34), which is mechanically coupled to the valve needle (10). A coil assembly (40) is operable to magnetically actuate the armature (12) and the valve needle (10). The armature collar (28) partially takes in the second cylindrical portion (34). An armature collar spring (20) is adopted to supply the armature collar (28) with a spring load to push the armature collar (28) towards the first cylindrical portion (32).
