Switching valve for an air spring arrangement and an air spring arrangement

A switching valve for an air spring arrangement of a motor vehicle, which switching valve has a valve housing arrangement which, in the installed state, is arranged between a first air volume and a second air volume. A valve closing member arrangement is actuatable by an actuator is provided such that the valve closing member arrangement, in a first position, fluidically connects the first air volume to the second air volume and, in a second position, fluidically separates the first air volume from the second air volume. The valve closing member arrangement is designed as a rotary slide arrangement. A rotary slide member with first openings is provided between two valve closing bodies, wherein, in the first position, the first openings correspond with second openings of the valve closing body such that a fluidic connection can be produced between the first and the second air volume.

In embodiments, a gate valve includes a valve body including a flow passage from a first opening to a second opening, and a gate channel having a first end intersecting the flow passage and a second end delineated by a third opening. A valve cover fits over the third opening. A cap fits over a valve cover opening. In embodiments, a valve cover includes a body with a second sealing surface protruding from a first sealing surface, both around an opening of the body. A cap has a third sealing surface to mate with the first sealing surface, and a fourth sealing surface congruent to the second sealing surface. In embodiments, a valve cover cap includes a body with a first sealing surface on an end of a wall. Pin flanges each have a pin hole having a pin hole axis oriented perpendicular to a center axis of the wall.

Gate Valve

A gate valve includes a valve body and a valve cover. The valve body includes a first opening, a second opening, a third opening, a flow passage from the first opening to the second opening, and a gate channel from the flow passage to the third opening. The gate channel has a central longitudinal axis and a ridge defining a perimeter of the third opening. The valve cover can fit over the third opening and, under force on the valve cover, exert a clamping force on the ridge. The clamping force has a first force component perpendicular to the central longitudinal axis and a second force component parallel with the central longitudinal axis. The first force component of the clamping force is toward the gate channel. The ridge includes a first surface configured to mate with a first surface of the valve cover.

Gas valve and flow rate control method for propane gas

A ring base member of a disc seat ring is fixed to a valve disc using a bolt. The valve disc is formed of a first austenitic stainless steel containing 17.0% by mass to 21.0% by mass of Cr and 8.0% by mass to 13.0% by mass of Ni. The ring base member is formed of a second austenitic stainless steel containing 17.0% by mass to 20.0% by mass of Cr and 8.0% by mass to 15.0% by mass of Ni.

Split gate valve with biasing mechanism

A system includes a split gate valve with first and second gate sections coupled together and configured to move together within a cavity of the split gate valve between an open position and a closed position. The split gate valve includes a rolling actuator to reduce friction and to convert a rotational input into a linear motion to move the first and second gate sections between the open and closed positions. The split gate valve also includes at least one expansion bar configured to bias the first and second gate sections from one another to seal against opposite seats of the split gate valve, wherein each expansion bar includes a spring mechanism configured to compress upon moving the first and second gate sections into and beyond the closed position to prevent buckling of the expansion bar.
