Valve for metering a fluid

A valve for metering a fluid, comprising:

• a housing;
• an electromagnetic actuator that includes an armature, wherein an inner wall of the housing and an outer side of the armature are separated by an annular gap;
• a throttle element connected to the armature or the housing and arranged in the annular gap to dampen a movement of the armature that is opposite to an opening direction;
• a valve seat surface;
• a valve closing body that cooperates with the valve seat surface to form a sealing seat;
• and
• a valve needle;
• wherein the valve needle is actuatable by the actuator,
• wherein the valve needle is arranged for actuating the valve closing body,
• wherein the valve needle extends through a borehole in the armature so that the armature is movably guidable on the valve needle, and
• wherein the valve needle includes a stop arranged such that, during an actuation, the armature strikes against the stop in the opening direction to open the sealing seat;
• wherein the armature includes multiple continuous throttle bores around a longitudinal axis in the armature,
• wherein the annular gap is formed between an inner wall of a nozzle body and an outer side of the armature, wherein a flow during a movement of the armature occurs via the annular gap and wherein another flow through the armature occurs via the throttle bores, and
• wherein the throttle element includes a constriction or a bottleneck in the annular gap, as a result of which the flow is throttled, and wherein the through boreholes are configured so that the another flow is throttled, so that the movement of the armature in a direction opposite an opening direction is damped.
