Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1586747A1] A reverse spring hydraulic valve, e.g. for a self adjusting valve control for an IC engine, has a hydraulic control piston (1) in a bore and with a reverse spring hydraulic valve (5) in its base (2). The spherical, or half spherical valve element (7) moves axially inside a cylindrical guide (20) which is part of a retaining cap (13) which limits the axial and radial movement of the valve element. The cap has an outer flange (11) pressed into a stepped recess (14) of the piston base by a large spring (10) while the valve element is pressed into the open setting by a smaller spring (17) between the valve element and a stepped profile in the base of the piston. The base (24) of the cap limits the displacement of the valve element and has a ring of flow holes (21) around the contact point with the valve element. For extended life the valve element can be made of titanium or ceramic.
