Abstract

An injector for a fluid, particularly for fuel, is provided having a valve housing, a fluid intake, a valve chamber having a spray-discharge orifice, a piezoelectric or magnetostrictive actuator situated in the valve housing and a fluid-guiding pipe connecting a fluid intake and a valve chamber, which is situated in the valve housing running along the actuator. In order to create structural space in the valve housing for guiding through the fluid-guiding pipe which has a sufficiently large diameter for reducing pressure drops in the intake region, a hollow cylinder surrounding the actuator and developed as a prestressed spring is provided with a cylinder wall opening that extends axially through the entire length, and the positioning of the fluid-guiding pipe in the valve housing is undertaken so that it extends radially into the cylinder wall opening.
