Abstract

A valve for controlling a fluid, in particular for controlling a gas. The valve includes a valve housing which accommodates an electromagnetic actuating unit for a solenoid armature which is guided axially displaceably in the valve housing and which cooperates with a valve seat via a valve-closing member, so that a fluid stream from an inflow side to an outflow side of the valve is controllable. At least one lubricant chamber adjacent to the guide gap between the valve housing and the solenoid armature is provided.
