Abstract: A flow regulator which is capable of suppressing hysteresis and includes a housing which includes a fluid inlet port, a fluid outlet port and a valve seat positioned in a communication channel, through which the fluid inlet port and the fluid outlet port are communicatively connected; a plunger guide cylinder coupled to the housing; a plunger provided at an end thereof with a valve body which moves toward and away from the valve seat, the plunger being inserted into the plunger guide cylinder to be freely movable in an axial direction; a spring which biases the plunger in a direction to bring the valve body into contact with the valve seat; and an electromagnetic device which moves the plunger in a valve opening direction against the spring.

Abstract: A pressure reducing valve includes a opening/closing valve between primary and secondary pressure chambers, a diaphragm body, a valve hole through which the secondary pressure chamber is communicatively connected with the atmosphere, a relief valve which opens/closes the valve hole, and a linkage member which links the opening/closing valve with the relief valve so as to open/close in association with each other. The linkage member includes a valve guide having a valve passage through which the primary and secondary pressure chambers are communicatively connected, and a pintle inserted into a pintle hole and guided thereby. The opening/closing valve and the relief valve are provided on lower and upper ends of the pintle, respectively. The valve hole has a common axis with those of the valve passage and the pintle hole. One and the other of the valve guide and the pintle are made of resin and metal.

Abstract: The objective of the invention is to achieve a general-purpose relief valve which can be used irrespective of the diameter or thread shape of an associated relief conduit and whose relief pressure can be easily adjusted. A relief valve includes a valving element, a spring device for seating the valving element onto a valve seat so as to close a flow channel, and a connecting portion which is connected to a relief conduit, wherein the valving element is released from the valve seat upon an internal pressure of the relief conduit exceeding a valve-closing force applied by the spring device, wherein a cylindrical valve body which includes the valve seat, the valving element and the spring device, and a retainer body which is connected to the relief conduit are formed as separate members, and the cylindrical valve body and the retainer body are connected to each other.
