Abstract
Switching valve with a valve body, which separates two working spaces filled with a fluid. The valve body has pass-through openings which are covered except for an inlet cross-section, where the inlet cross-section is controlled by a switching disk as a function of the direction of flow in the switching valve. Between the switching disk and the inlet cross-section, at least one spacer disk is provided, which has at least one opening, which communicates with the inlet cross-section, where the opening has a larger two-dimensional area than the inlet cross-section.
