Abstract

Electromagnetically actuated valve, comprising an actuating device, a movable plunger and a valve chamber with an opening for the medium passing through it, which opening may be closed by the plunger. In order to ensure safe functioning of the valve at small closing forces, the valve chamber is totally sealed against the actuating device and the movable plunger by means of a flexible diaphragm, the diaphragm being fitted into the housing along its circumference and being pressed against the edge of the opening by the movable plunger.
