Abstract (en)

The invention relates to a metering device for dosing pressurized fluids, particularly an injection valve for a fuel injection system in an internal combustion engine, comprising an axially extending housing (12) having an end part provided with an outlet passage (20) terminating with a metering opening (22) and a fluid inlet (16; 161) for supplying the fluid under pressure, arranged at the end part of the housing (12) opposite to the end part provided with the outlet passage (20), an axially moveable valve needle (24) passing through the outlet passage (20) and controlling opening and closing of the metering opening (22) by its axial movement, a piezoelectric actuator assembly (30) in axial alignment with the valve needle (24) and cooperating with the valve needle (24) to control its axial movement, and a fluid supply duct (14) communicating with the fluid inlet (16; 161) and the outlet passage (20) for transmitting the pressurized fluid to be dosed to the outlet passage (20). According to the invention the fluid supply duct forms an axially extended annular supply duct (14) within the housing (12). <IMAGE>
