Abstract An electro-magnetically operable valve serving especially as fuel injection valve for a fuel injection device of internal combustion engines. The valve is composed of a valve housing, in which a magnetic coil is disposed around a core. The core has a concavely formed stop face against which, during excitation of the magnetic coil, a ball rests. The ball serves as an armature and movable valve part and cooperates with a fixed valve seat. The radius (r 1 ) of the concavely formed stop face of the core is larger by about 0.1 to 1 mm than the radius (r 2 ) of the ball. This causes a sufficient hydraulic cushion between the end face of the core and the ball when the ball is attracted toward the core upon magnetic energization of the latter and thus prevents a bouncing movement of the ball or its sticking to the core, when the ball is biased toward the valve seat upon de-energization of the core.
An electro-magnetically operable fuel injection valve for a fuel injection device of an internal combustion engine, said injection valve having a valve housing, a guide bore, a fixed valve seat in said guide bore, a core of ferro-magnetic material and a ball, said ball cooperating as a movable valve part with said fixed valve seat, said guide bore forming a guide for said ball, said ball being of a soft magnetic material and, during excitation of the magnetic core, being moved away from the valve seat and against a concavely formed stop face of the core, and the radius (r 1 ) of the concavely formed stop face of the core being larger by about 0.1 to 1 mm than the radius (r 2 ) of the ball.
