Abstract
A valve actuating device, in particular for an exhaust system, comprises a disk assembly, an actuating arm, and a valve actuator wherein the disk assembly is arranged between the actuating arm and the valve actuator. The disk assembly, at least in part, thermally decouples the actuating arm from the valve actuator and includes at least two identically constructed disks with axial protrusions, which in an axial direction are directly arranged one behind the other and contact each other at the protrusions.
Claims22
A valve actuating device comprising:
- a disk assembly;
- an actuating arm;
- and
- a valve actuator, wherein the disk assembly is arranged between the actuating arm and the valve actuator, and wherein the disk assembly at least partly thermally decouples the actuating arm from the valve actuator and comprises at least two identically constructed disks with axial protrusions which in an axial direction are arranged directly one behind the other and contact each other at the axial protrusions.
A valve actuating device comprising:
- a disk assembly;
- an actuating arm;
- and
- a valve actuator, wherein the disk assembly is arranged between the actuating arm and the valve actuator, and wherein the disk assembly at least partly thermally decouples the actuating arm from the valve actuator and comprises at least two identically constructed disks with axial protrusions which in an axial direction are arranged directly one behind the other and contact each other at the axial protrusions, and wherein the axial protrusions include at least two first protrusions, which are formed by shaping and in the axial direction protrude from a disk center plane, and at least two second protrusions which in an opposite axial direction protrude from the disk center plane and are formed by shaping.
A valve actuating device comprising:
- a disk assembly;
- an actuating arm;
- and
- a valve actuator, wherein the disk assembly is arranged between the actuating arm and the valve actuator, and wherein the disk assembly at least partly thermally decouples the actuating arm from the valve actuator and comprises at least two identically constructed disks with axial protrusions which in an axial direction are arranged directly one behind the other and contact each other at the axial protrusions, and wherein the at least two identically constructed disks include mounting holes.
