A fuel injector provided with an injection jet, an injection valve, the latter having a mobile plunger for regulating the flow of fuel through the injection jet, and an electromagnetic actuator, which is capable of displacing the plunger between a closed position and an open position of the injection valve and has a pair of electromagnets, each having a coil, a fixed magnetic armature, and a mobile armature; on the outer surface of a tubular supporting body of the injector, there are produced two annular slots, in each of which there is wound a corresponding coil of an electromagnet.

Fuel injector with electromagnetic actuation of the plunger

The injector has a cylindrical body, which houses an injection nozzle regulated by an injection valve provided with a moveable pin, a fuel supply line, an injection chamber communicating with the supply line, housing a lower portion of the pin and delimited below by a valve seat of the injection valve, a control chamber communicating with the supply line and housing an upper portion of the pin, and a control valve, which is capable of putting the control chamber in communication with a drain for the low-pressure fuel and is controlled by an electromagnetic actuator provided with a pair of electromagnets identical with each other and arranged mechanically in series with each other so that their respective thrust forces are added together.

Fuel injector with hydraulic pin actuation

The injector has a cylindrical body, which houses an injection nozzle regulated by an injection valve provided with a moveable pin, a fuel supply channel, an injection chamber communicating with the fuel supply channel housing a lower portion of the pin and delimited at the bottom by a valve seat for the injection valve, a control chamber communicating with the fuel supply channel and housing an upper portion of the pin, and a control valve, which is of the poppet type and is actuated by an electromagnetic actuator in order to move between a closed position and an open position, in which it puts the control chamber in communication with a low-pressure fuel exhaust passage.
