Abstract
A process component having a longitudinal axis is provided. The process component includes a housing that surrounds an interior space and includes a first connector and a second connector, a tappet located in the interior space, a first magnet arrangement located on the tappet, and a second magnet arrangement that is magnetically coupled to the first magnet arrangement and is rotatable on the housing about the longitudinal axis. In order to create a process component that is easily scalable in size and can be easily cleaned, the tappet cooperates with a guide provided in the interior space, displacing the first magnet arrangement towards the second magnet arrangement to convert a rotary movement of the second magnet arrangement into an axial movement of the tappet.
