A control valve including: a valve housing including a piston space; and a control piston which is movably arranged in the piston space and sub-divides the piston space into at least a first valve space and a second valve space, the control valve including at least a leakage path which sets a desired leakage between the first valve space and the second valve space. A motor vehicle device including an adjustable rotary pump including an adjusting means, for adjusting a delivery volume of the rotary pump, and the control valve, using which a pressure for adjusting the adjusting means can be governed, the motor vehicle device including a means which presses the control piston into a first position and holds it there, and the at least one other inlet of the control valve is connected to a high-pressure side of the rotary pump when the rotary pump is in operation.

A first valve mechanism is a valve mechanism provided in a flow path coupled to a liquid ejecting head that ejects a liquid, and including a valve that opens/closes the flow path, a first communication liquid chamber that communicates with the flow path, and a first pressure receiving body that converts a pressure difference between a pressure of the first communication liquid chamber and a reference pressure into an operating force of the valve, in which a threshold pressure of the first communication liquid chamber for determining opening/closing of the valve is variable.

A valve includes an inlet and an outlet, a body including a first seat and a second seat, wherein the first seat and second seat are spaced apart from each other at a predetermined distance, a cavity in the body, a piston positioned in the cavity, wherein the piston rests against the first seat and the second seat when in the closed position, and a pilot ball adjacent the piston.

An example valve includes a main stage, a pilot stage, and a solenoid actuator. The main stage includes a sleeve and a piston axially movable within the sleeve. The piston defines a cavity therein. The pilot stage includes a pilot pin received at, and axially movable in, the cavity of the piston, where the piston forms a pilot seat at which the pilot pin is seated when the valve is in a closed state. The solenoid actuator includes a solenoid coil, an armature, and a solenoid spring. The solenoid spring applies a biasing force in a distal direction on the pilot pin to seat the pilot pin at the pilot seat. Energizing the solenoid coil causes the armature to move in a proximal direction, thereby reducing the biasing force that the solenoid spring applies on the pilot pin.

A valve assembly for an inflation system that includes a pressure relief valve and a vent valve. The pressure relief valve has a pressure relief housing and a pressure relief valve poppet. The pressure relief housing defines a first pressure relief cavity that is disposed between a first end wall defining a first flow port and a first wall defining a passageway and a second pressure relief cavity disposed between the first wall and a second wall. The pressure relief valve poppet is movably disposed within the first pressure relief cavity and the second pressure relief cavity. The vent valve has a vent housing and a vent valve poppet. The vent housing defines a vent cavity that is disposed between the second wall defining a vent flow port and a second end wall. The vent valve poppet is movably disposed within the vent cavity.

An example valve includes: (i) a pilot seat member comprising a first channel and a second channel, a pilot seat, and a pilot sleeve portion comprising a pilot chamber and a cross-hole; (ii) a pilot check member disposed in the pilot chamber and subjected to a biasing force of a setting spring, wherein the pilot check member is configured to be subjected to a fluid force of fluid in the second channel; and (iii) a solenoid actuator sleeve slidably accommodated about the pilot sleeve portion, wherein the solenoid actuator sleeve comprises a cross-hole and an annular groove, wherein the cross-hole of the solenoid actuator sleeve is fluidly coupled to a second port of the valve, and the annular groove is configured to selectively fluidly couple the first channel to the second channel based on a position of the solenoid actuator sleeve.
