  • the single ones Sections represent separately manufactured sections Items that are only by means of joining processes, e.g. B. by Laser welding, can be connected to each other.
  • the anchor encompasses the connecting tube completely radially and at least partially axially, since the connecting tube in one through the longitudinal opening of the anchor is attached.
  • the Connection tube itself also has a continuous inner Longitudinal opening in which fuel towards Valve closing member can flow, which is then close to the Valve closing member through in the wall of the Connecting tube inserted, radially extending Cross openings emerges.
  • the fuel flow therefore takes place first inside the valve needle and leaves the First push the valve needle towards the valve seat.
  • valve needle known, particularly in an electromagnetic actuable fuel injector usable and off profiled rod material is made.
  • the needle blank is subsequently elaborated in several Processing steps to the final desired needle shape brought.
  • Several short sections of the Valve needle (guide sections, stop plate, needle head) processed very precisely, since they perform management tasks in the valve have to take over.
  • Others profiled axially between these Sections of the valve needle are marked by Cutting diameter processes reduced. All in all, there is a multitude of processing steps necessary to the different short profile sections of the Manufacture valve needle in accordance with management. Due to the with several short profiled sections of the valve needle the grooves provided there for the axial flow through the There is only one fuel towards the valve seat partial guidance of the fuel so that the flow is not can run optimally quietly.
