Abstract:
A valve for metering a fluid, the valve preferably being designed as a fuel injector for internal combustion engines. The valve includes an electromagnetic actuator and a valve needle that is actuatable by the actuator. The valve needle is used for actuating a valve closing body that cooperates with a valve seat surface to form a sealing seat. An armature of the actuator includes a through opening through which the valve needle extends. An annular gap is formed between an inner wall of a housing part and an outer side of the armature. A movable damping element that may have a partial ring shape is situated on the annular gap. The movable damping element is actuatable by a magnetic field that is generated by the actuator. The dynamics of the armature may thus be advantageously influenced in order to in particular reduce an armature bounce.

Claim (Index 11):
A valve for metering a fluid, comprising:\n an electromagnetic actuator; a valve needle which is actuatable by the actuator and which actuates a valve closing body that cooperates with a valve seat surface to form a sealing seat, an armature of the actuator including a through opening through which the valve needle extends, and an annular gap being formed between an inner wall of a housing part and an outer side of the armature; and at least one movable damping element situated on the annular gap, the movable damping element being actuatable by a magnetic field that is generated by the actuator.
