Abstract (en)

[origin: JPH0320104A] PURPOSE: To compensate for machining errors and temperature-based dimensional changes of a hydraulically operated valve, by pressing a flying setting plunger that divides the interior of a cylinder into a pressure chamber and an actuating chamber against a stop during a maximum valve lift such that the starting positions of all operation cycles are reset. CONSTITUTION: Within a cylinder 6 integrated with a cage 5, a flying setting plunger 7 and a stopper 8 are installed to divide an actuating chamber 9 and a pressure chamber 10. The pressure chamber 10 is connected to a pressure- generating unit 13 via a high-pressure line 18 controlled by a valve 19, while the actuating chamber 9 is to the pressure-generating unit 13 via a low-pressure line 21 controlled by another valve 22. When a valve element 2 biased by a spring 11 in a closing direction reaches its maximum lift by the action of another plunger 4, the setting plunger 7 is pressed against the stopper 8. The setting plunger 7 therefore resets its starting position for all operation cycles to compensate for machining errors and temperature-based dimensional changes.
