Abstract

An apparatus controls flow of a fluid from at least one inlet port to at least one outlet port. A support (12) has a rigid, non-flexible portion (16), at least one pivotable relatively rigid, non-flexible, folded-back arm portion (18, 20) extending from the rigid portion, at least one surface (22, 24) connected to folded-back arm portion (18, 20) for movement relative to the support (12), and a rigid, non-flexible force transfer member (26) operably positioned for driving the pivotable folded-back arm portion (18, 20) with a loss of motion of less than 40 %. An electrically operated actuator (24) operably engages between the rigid portion (16) and the force transfer member (26) to pivot the folded-back arm portion (18, 20) in response to an electrical activation of the actuator (24) . A manifold includes a fluid passage communicating with at least one valve seat and operable engageable with respect to at least one corresponding valve body for movement between a closed position and an opened position.
