Abstract (en)

[origin: DE4410153C1] A piezoelectric fluid valve has a valve housing (10) with a valve chamber (13), at least one connection channel (14) that opens into the valve chamber (13) and a valve seat (18) that surrounds the channel opening (16) and co-operates with a valve member (19) for closing and releasing the channel opening (16). The fluid valve has a piezoelectric multilayered transducer (20) secured at one side on the valve housing (10) and that bears the valve member (19) at or next to its free end opposite to its fastening site (103, 104). In order to increase the adjustment force of the transducer and thus the tightness of the fluid valve thanks to a higher closure force, the transducer (20) is further secured against swivelling to the valve housing (10) at a distance from its fastening site (103, 104).
