An overfill valve associated with a drop tube segment fluidly connected to a fluid reservoir is described. The overfill valve includes a valve body positioned within the drop tube segment and a non-contact valve actuator positioned exterior to the drop tube segment and operable to actuate the valve body from an open position to a closed position without requiring any physical penetration through the wall of the drop tube segment. The non-contact valve actuator has a first position in which the non-contact valve actuator does not actuate the valve body from the open position to the closed position in a second position, achieved when the liquid reservoir reaches a predetermined level approaching the capacity of the liquid reservoir, the non-contact valve actuator actuating the valve body from the open position to the closed position when the non-contact valve actuator obtains the second position.

A coil assembly, e.g., for use a valve, is disclosed. The coil assembly includes a coil arrangement including at least one electrically energizable coil, a coil ring carrier receiving the coil arrangement, and a flux conducting device for conducting magnetic field lines of a magnetic field provided via the coil arrangement. The flux conducting device includes a one-piece ferromagnetic pole ring that includes a ring base plate and a plurality of pole ring outer teeth arranged on an outer edge of the ring base plate and angularly bent over on fold-over outer edge regions of the ring base plate. The flux conducting device further includes a one-piece ferromagnetic counter-pole ring that includes a counter-ring base plate and a plurality of counter-pole ring outer teeth arranged on a counter-outer edge of the counter-ring base plate and angularly bent over on counter-fold-over outer edge regions of the counter-ring base plate.

The present disclosure relates to a fluid supply system for a machine. The fluid supply system includes a throttle assembly having a first shaft attached to a valve member and a fluid shutoff assembly. The fluid shutoff assembly includes a second shaft, a locking member having an axis parallel to an axis of the second shaft and comprising a locking arm extending toward the second shaft, a biasing member fixedly attached to the second shaft, a releasing mechanism adjacent to the locking member that rotates the locking member about the longitudinal axis of the locking member, and a coupler comprising a first coupling hub attached to the first shaft and a second coupling hub attached to the second shaft and interfaced with the first coupling hub.

An example solenoid tube of a solenoid actuator for a valve includes: (i) a cylindrical body includes: a first threaded region formed on an exterior peripheral surface of the cylindrical body, and a second threaded region formed on an interior peripheral surface of the cylindrical body; and (ii) a pole piece formed as a protrusion from the interior peripheral surface of the cylindrical body and configured to divide a hollow interior of the cylindrical body into a first chamber and a second chamber, where the pole piece defines a channel therethrough, such that the channel fluidly couples the first chamber to the second chamber, where the first chamber is configured to receive an armature of the solenoid actuator therein, and where the second chamber is configured to a component such as a sensor or a manual actuator therein.

This disclosure relates to a valve assembly for a motor vehicle, such as a pressure relief valve (i.e., an air extractor), and a method of using the same. In an example, the valve assembly includes a flap moveable to between an open position and a closed position, a slider moveable along an axis and including an integrally formed arm in contact with the flap, and an electromagnet configured to be selectively activated to move the slider along the axis.

An anti-surge recycle valve system for a natural gas line using a pipeline rotary control valve for controlling gas flow through the gas line and a valve controller having a surge-programmable feature including a threshold setpoint deviation limit, which is used to control first and second control valve loops. The first solenoid valve loop drives a rotary high-pressure piston actuator when the linear position sensor determines a setpoint deviation in gas flow below the threshold deviation, and the second solenoid valve loop drives the rotary high-pressure piston actuator when the linear position sensor determines a setpoint deviation in gas flow above the threshold deviation. The system provides ultra-rapid stroking speed in tandem with highly accurate and stable positioning.

A valve opening and closing timing control apparatus includes a drive-side rotational body, a driven-side rotational body, an intermediate lock mechanism which selectively switches between a lock state where displacement of a relative rotational phase of the driven-side rotational body relative to the drive-side rotational body is restrained in an intermediate lock phase and an unlock state where the lock state is released, and an electromagnetic valve. At a time of predetermined operation of an internal combustion engine, a value of the drive current is set as a boundary current, and the value of the drive current to be set as the boundary current differs, by a predetermined value, from a value of the drive current at a time when the unlock state was switched to the lock state due to the change of the drive current.
