Abstract
A valve assembly and a method of assembling a valve assembly. The valve assembly may be an exhaust gas recirculation valve assembly and may include a sealing assembly to inhibit flow of gas from a flow passage into an electronics housing. The sealing assembly includes a first seal along a shaft and disposed between the flow passage and a shaft bearing, a second seal along the shaft and disposed between the shaft bearing and the electronics housing, a plate engaged between a valve housing and the electronics housing, and a sealed bearing supported by the plate and pivotably supporting a pinion. A coolant jacket may be formed in the valve housing around the shaft bore proximate the shaft bearing and the first seal. A butterfly member may be connected to the shaft by a pin rammed into a hole extending through the butterfly member and the driven shaft.
