The disclosure relates to a valve, in particular a solenoid valve, having an optimized seat geometry. The valve comprises a sealing element and a valve seat which surrounds a passage opening having a nominal diameter, the valve seat having on a side facing the sealing element a closed circumferential rounding which, in a cross-sectional plane which extends through a central axis of the passage opening, has a seat radius, a distance of a radius center of the seat radius from a wall inner side defining the passage opening being smaller than the seat radius.

Valve having an optimized seat geometry

A valve armature of a solenoid valve includes an armature body having a blind hole in which an elastomer seal is vulcanized in. The armature body is manufactured in a cold forming process, in which a final axial linear dimension of the armature body is also determined. Furthermore, a valve having such a valve armature is presented.

Method of manufacturing a valve armature of a solenoid valve, valve armature and solenoid valve

A solenoid valve has a housing which comprises a first and a second housing part, wherein a flexible diaphragm is arranged between the first and the second housing part. A movably mounted actuating element is provided which is connected to the diaphragm and detaches the diaphragm from a valve seat in an operating position of the first and the second housing part upon movement into an open position, and which presses the diaphragm onto the valve seat upon movement into a closed position. The first and the second housing part can take up a service position in which the diaphragm is accessible. The diaphragm is connected with a positive fit to the actuating element in a nondestructively detachable manner such that in the service position, the diaphragm can be removed from the actuating element by releasing the positive fit and can be connected thereto by establishing a positive fit. An assembly and a method of replacing a diaphragm are furthermore proposed.
