Claim Text:
1. A switching valve comprising: (a) a stator arranged in a housing, the stator including multiple connection ports; (b) a rotor configured to be rotated, is arranged in the housing and, in which the rotor has predetermined switching positions and interacts with the stator to form a fluidic connection or a fluidic disconnection of predetermined connection ports; (c) the rotor being mounted rotatably via a bearing and pressing device, where the bearing and pressing device is arranged in the housing and loaded with a predefined pressing force in a direction of the stator; (d) in which the bearing and pressing device includes a spring unit, the spring unit being supported against a receiving part, the receiving part being positionally fixed in an axial direction and mounted to rotate about a rotor axis via a single radial bearing of the bearing and pressing device without the use of other bearings, where the bearing and pressing device loads the rotor axially, and (e) in which the receiving part is coupled rotationally conjointly to the rotor and the receiving part has a drive region which faces away from the stator and is coupled to an output of a drive device.
