A booster actuatormay be positioned between the solenoidand a valve, and increases the energy output from the solenoid to activate the valve. The booster actuatormay include a force input memberand a force output membereach linearly movable with respect to a bodyfrom an initial position to an activated position. A coil springbiases the input member to the initial input position, while a plurality of disk springsbias the output memberto the activated output position. A plurality of linking memberseach pivotable with respect to the body normally retain the force output member in the initial position, but upon movement of the input member to the activated position release the force output member in response to the disk springs.
