Abstract
A valve (1), preferably a vacuum valve, is provided including at least one closure element (2), at least one valve seat (3), and at least one drive unit (4). The closure element (2) is pressed against the valve seat (3) in a closed position and is raised from the valve seat (3) in a raised position, and the closure element can be moved by a drive unit (4) in a closing direction (5) from the raised position into the closed position, in particular in a linear closing direction. The closure element (2) is mounted on a support body (6) of the drive unit (4) in a movable manner in at least one direction (7) orthogonally or transversely to the closing direction (5) in order to align the closure element (2) when pressing against the valve seat (3).
