Abstract
A fuel injector for fuel-injection systems of internal combustion engines having a piezoelectric or magnetostrictive actuator, includes a hydraulic coupler which actuates a valve-closure member () formed on a valve needle. The valve-closure member cooperates with a valve-seat surface to form a valve-sealing seat. The coupler includes a master piston and a slave piston which are guided in bores of a guide sleeve. Located between the master piston and the slave piston is a pressure chamber filled with a hydraulic fluid. A corrugated tube is positioned around the guide sleeve which is sealingly joined to the master piston at one end and to the slave piston at the other end, and which seals a supply chamber for the hydraulic fluid from a surrounding fuel chamber.
