  • the control device 8 executes a first control phase Ila, which causes magnetization of the valve catcher 6.
  • the suction valve 1 can now be kept open over an arbitrary period of time.
  • a signal from the angle of rotation sensor 10 is preferably again used, the control device 8 receiving a second signal after this signal
  • Activation phase Ilb of the electromagnet 9 is initiated by using a modulation device 8a to generate a decaying alternating current which is applied to the solenoid 9 in order to demagnetize the valve plate 3 and / or the valve catcher 6.
  • Demagnetization prevents any holding force between the valve plate 3 and the valve catcher 6, and in particular prevents the two parts from sticking together due to remaining magnetic forces.
