Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1544454A1] An actuator (2) has an active link with a valve-closing body (7) to combine with a valve seat's surface (13) to seal the seating. A coupler (3) has first (23) and second (24) coupler sections (CS). The first CS moves on-axis to lock in a recess on the second CS but keeps a gap (27) as a throttling point and forms a hydraulic volume (17). Both CS keep an active link via a hydraulic medium.
