Abstract

The electromagnetically operated sliding spool control valve particularly for use in connection with an automatic transmission system of a motor vehicle, comprises an armature of the electromagnet which is supported at one end of a plunger the other end of which is formed into a sliding spool. The spool is guided in a valve sleeve integrally connected to a fixed core of the electromagnetic coil. A return spring is arranged around a plunger portion between the core and the armature. The valve sleeve is seated in a central boring of a valve channel plate provided with a plurality of annular grooves communicating via transverse borings with the central passage of the sleeve. The sleeve opens into a pressure space which communicates via a flow return channel with a port for the main pressure so that the main pressure acts against the free end of the spool.
