Abstract
An injection valve may include: a valve needle moving from a closed position to an open position; a calibration spring biasing the needle towards the closed position; an armature moving toward the pole piece to take the valve needle towards the open position with respect to the valve needle; and a pole piece. Some valves include a magnetic ring moving between a first position, with a top side spaced apart from the pole piece and an underside in contact with the valve needle, and a second position where the top side is in contact with the pole piece. A second spring is in parallel to the calibration spring. An upper retaining element connected to a shaft extends in radial direction to limit movement of the armature relative to the valve needle so that the armature connects to the upper retaining element to displace the valve needle towards the open position.
