Abstract (en)
A valve assembly (10) for regulating air flow to an internal combustion engine comprises a valve body (12) having a valve bore (14) forming an induction passage, and a shaft (16) extending across the valve bore. A valve member (18) is secured to the shaft for rotation between a non-actuating position and a maximum actuating position. A ball bearing arrangement (36,38) rotatably secures one end of the shaft in a shaft socket (30) which opens into the valve bore.
