A valve device for an internal combustion engine includes a housing with an inlet and an outlet, a passage opening which fluidically connects the inlet with the outlet, a first valve-closing member which controls the passage opening, an actuator, a valve rod on which the first valve-closing member is arranged, a stop element, a spring surrounding the valve rod, and an element. A first end of the spring is supported against the first valve-closing member, and a second end of the spring is supported against the stop element. The element substantially surrounds the spring. The element comprises a first lateral surface and a second lateral surface in mutual engagement with each other. The first lateral surface abuts against the first valve-closing member and is movable therewith. The second lateral surface abuts against the stop element. The first valve closing member moves relative to the stop element.

An exhaust gas recirculation valve for an internal combustion engine includes a housing comprising an exhaust gas inlet and an exhaust gas outlet, and a valve closing body fastened to a valve rod. The valve rod is movable. A valve seat is arranged between the exhaust gas inlet and the exhaust gas outlet. A guide bushing comprising a first section guides the valve rod in the housing. A sealing ring is arranged at an end of the guide bushing remote from the valve closing body. The valve closing body is lowered onto the valve seat by a movement of the valve rod and lifted from the valve closing body by an opposite movement of the valve rod. A circumferential gap is formed between the valve rod and the guide bushing in the first section of the guide bushing directed toward the sealing ring.

An actuating device including a housing that is closed by a cover in such a way that both an electric motor and a gearbox unit are completely enclosed. An internal gear segment, arranged on an output shaft in a rotationally fixed manner, is positioned on a borehole of the cover. An axle on which a double toothed gear is arranged is then mounted on the output side, an a pocket hole in the cover. This reduces the overall length, as well as the number of components and the cost.
