ABSTRACT:
A valve, particularly a switching cylinder, for opening and closing a pipe, especially for use in an intake manifold for a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine having an air distribution chamber and individual intake pipes positioned next to one another which terminate in a flange, in which the valve is positioned in an individual intake pipe to close or open the respective intake pipe, and the valve has at least one sealing system mounted in a radially movable manner such that, in the closed position, it presses against the pipe inner wall to form a seal, and in the open position and in the pivot range from the closed position to the open position, it forms a gap between the valve and the pipe inner wall.
