A device for converting a rotational motion of a valve element into a translational motion of same having a valve element bearing-supported such that it is translationally movable along a translation axis, a cam element with a cam curvature. The cam element is rotatable about an axis of rotation, wherein connected with the valve element is a stem by means of which the valve element can be moved translationally along the translation axis and which comprises an engagement element in engagement with the cam curvature. The engagement element is braced from two sides of the cam element by the stem, and wherein, by rotation of the cam element about the axis of rotation, the engagement element is guided along the cam curvature such that the stem executes a translational motion whereby the valve element executes a translational motion.

Side load free EGR valve actuation

An actuator comprising a drive, at least one rotatable threaded element and at least one output element driven in translation thereby is described, characterized in that the threaded element has at least two regions of differing pitch and a rotational axis of the threaded element is inclined relative to a translational axis of the output element.

Actuator and exhaust gas recirculation valve, wastegate or variable turbine geometry device of a turbocharger comprising an actuator

An actuator for a lever that is connected, with a valve or a wastegate or a variable turbine geometry of an exhaust gas turbocharger. The actuator includes a connecting rod between a drive and the lever. The connecting rod is rotatably supported at a location some distance from the lever. The connecting rod is further guided between the support and the lever on a circular arc.

Actuator

An actuator has a rotary drive and a threaded element for converting the rotary motion of the rotary drive into a reciprocating motion of a tappet connected to a hinged wastegate and/or to a variable turbine geometry device of an exhaust gas turbocharger. The tappet and/or an axle between the tappet and the threaded element is received in at least one guide comprising at least one web and allowing for at least a slight tilting or pivoting movement of the tappet in at least one direction. At least some play is present between the web and at least one broadened portion on the tappet and/or on the axle. Methods of actuating a wastegate and/or a variable turbine geometry device.

Actuator for a wastegate or a variable turbine geometry device and method of actuation

An exhaust gas recirculation system having at least one cooler with a housing and at least one valve with a pivotably actuated valve member on an inlet side is characterized in that an actuator for the valve is mounted to the housing of the cooler, which is connected to the valve via at least one lever and at least one connection member such as a coupling rod, a ball-and-socket joint being provided between at least one lever and at least one connection member such as a coupling rod.

Exhaust gas recirculation system

An exhaust gas recirculation valve comprises a drive, at least one rotatable drive element and at least one translationally drivable driven element. The drive element comprises a thread element that is configured to convert rotational motion of the drive element into translation of the driven element. A rotational axis of the drive element is inclined with respect to a translational axis of the driven element.

Exhaust gas recirculation valve

An exhaust-gas recirculation (EGR) valve includes a rotary drive. The rotary drive includes a cam member that has a cam profile. The rotary drive permits operation of a valve member that can be rotated around a rotational shaft. During the course of a closing movement, the EGR valve can, toward the end of the closing movement, move towards a valve seat in a direction that is generally parallel to a direction of flow through the valve seat.

Exhaust-gas recirculation valve

An exhaust-gas recirculation (EGR) valve () comprises a valve opening (), a valve member () that can be moved between a position which closes the valve opening () and a position which releases the valve opening (), and further comprises a flow-guidance member (), wherein the valve member (), in the position that releases the valve opening (), is disposed at least in part behind said flow-guidance member (), when viewed from the central flow axis.

A cooler of an exhaust gas recirculating system comprises a housing including coolant inflow and outflow ports and at least one bypass pipe arranged within said housing.
