Abstract: A solenoid valve includes a main valve having a valve seat and a main valve body configured to open or close a main flow passage, a pilot passage that branches from the main flow passage, an orifice provided in the pilot passage, a back-pressure chamber configured to bias the main valve body to a closing direction by virtue of an internal pressure, a pilot valve configured to control an internal pressure of the back-pressure chamber, and a solenoid configured to control a valve opening pressure of the pilot valve. There is a time difference between a valve opening timing of the main valve and a valve opening timing of the pilot valve such that the valve opening timing of the main valve is delayed from the valve opening timing of the pilot valve.

Abstract: A damping valve includes a valve element member, a disc spring, and a solenoid. The valve element member opens and closes an upstream side and a downstream side of a pilot passage by a pressure control valve element seated on and liftable from a pressure control valve seat and an open/close valve element seated on and liftable from an open/close valve seat. The disc spring is interposed between a stepped part and the valve element member. The disc spring biases the valve element member in a direction in which the pressure control valve element separates from the pressure control valve seat and in which the open/close valve element approaches the open/close valve seat. The solenoid is configured to drive the valve element member against a biasing force by the disc spring. In a state in which the disc spring has a natural length, a clearance is formed between the open/close valve element and the open/close valve seat.
