ABSTRACT:
An electro-magnetically operated bidirectional two-way air valve capable of changing state at high pressure differentials or high flow rates in either direction has a body which defines a main bore in which an armature is slidably received. The body has a first port and a second port with a seat between them formed at the end of the main bore and a plastic valve element is secured to a neck portion of the armature to seat against the seat when the valve is closed. Frusto-conical surfaces are formed on the valve element and on the neck portion and a transversely extending pin across the main bore retains the armature in the main bore. In a second embodiment, an end of the armature tapers so as to reduce drag, a powder metal flow restrictor is provided in an axial bore in the armature to reduce shift speed and an elastomer bumper is provided to reduce operating noise.
