Pressure actuated valve with shock absorber

A valve, with a valve housing, through which process medium can flow, the valve housing having a valve seat which surrounds a throughflow opening, and the valve further including a valve element which is arranged on a spindle in a manner such that the valve element by way of an actuation travel of the spindle is movable between a shut-off position, in which the valve element sealingly bears on the valve seat in a process-medium-tight manner, and an open position, in which the valve element is lifted from the valve seat, and with a fluid-actuated valve drive which comprises a drive housing and a drive wall which together with the spindle forms a drive unit and which separates two working chambers from one another, at least one of said two working chambers being subjectable to pressure, and with a travel limitation device which for limiting the opening travel of the spindle comprises a stop element which is fastened to the drive housing and which with an end section which comprises a stop surface projecting into a travel limitation space, wherein the drive unit is configured to strike upon the stop surface in the travel limitation space for limiting the opening travel, wherein a throughflow channel, through which process medium can flow and which has a channel longitudinal axis passes through the valve housing, and the valve seat comprises a seat surface which is aligned obliquely to the channel longitudinal axis or a spindle axis of the spindle is aligned perpendicularly to the channel longitudinal axis, wherein the stop element is formed by a shock absorber housing of a shock absorber, said shock absorber being fixed to the drive housing and comprising a shock absorber element which projects in a direction toward the drive unit and which is movably mounted relative to the shock absorber housing, and

• wherein the drive housing comprises a base housing part, a separating wall and a stop housing part, the base housing part annularly encompassing the two working chambers, and the stop housing part being connected to the base housing part via the separating wall, and wherein the shock absorber housing passes through an upper terminating wall of the stop housing part.
