Abstract: A method for controlling an electromagnetic valve, in particular for an automatic transmission of a motor vehicle. With known methods, electromagnetic valves are triggered with a pulse-width-modulated signal having a constant clock frequency. The object is to provide a method by which a rapid response characteristic and a high adjustment precision of the electromagnetic valve are made possible. The specific properties of a hydraulic system in which electromagnetic valves are used, in particular the rigidity and damping, are not constant but instead change considerably under different operating states of the hydraulic system and/or with different performance quantities of the electromagnetic valve. These different properties are taken into account through the change in the clock frequency as a function of performance quantities of the electromagnetic valve.

The cross-section of this throttle is dimensioned such that an entry and exit of fuel into the housing of the temperature compensation device is enabled when there is a temperature-caused change in length of components of the fuel injector.

Abstract: The invention relates among others to a method for producing outlet openings (32) in a valve, in particular a fuel injection valve. The injection valve has a fuel inlet (2), an excitable actuating device (1, 2, 19) by which a valve closing member (28) is movable, a fixed valve seat (27) embodied on a valve seat element (26), with which seat the valve closing member (28) cooperates to open and close the valve, and at least one outlet opening (32), as a fuel outlet, provided downstream of the valve seat (27). The at least one outlet opening 32 is produced in such a way that in a first method step, a through hole is created in the valve seat element (26), and in a second method step, from the ejection end of the through hole, an outlet region is created that is altered in shape and/or size and/or contour compared to the through hole.
