Abstract

The invention relates to a lift valve (1; 1.1; 1.2; 1.3), particularly for process technology. The aim of the invention is to design a process valve of the type in question which acts as a lift valve, has a uniform (monolithic or multi-piece) closing part or member, is altogether shorter than all previously known, comparable valves, has a very simple design, and can be used for various embodiments such as check valves, tank bottom valves, or reversing valves. Said aim is achieved by the fact that the closing part (4; 4.1) opens towards the actuator (3; 3*) while the ends of the driving spring (7; 7.1, 7.2) directly or indirectly rest against the actuation rod (4a/4b) and a cover part (3b), respectively, said cover part (3b) delimiting the driving housing (3a) on the side of the driving piston (5; 5*) that faces away from the closing part (4; 4.1).
