Electromagnetically actuatable valve

An electromagnetically actuatable valve for fuel injection systems of internal combustion engines, comprising a valve housing;

• a core, a magnetic winding, and an armature in said valve housing with said armature coupled with a valve member, said armature is substantially flat and includes an annular guide ring, said valve member including a cylindrical elongation segment fixed to a spherical sealing segment arranged to cooperate with a fixed valve seat, a valve guide ring juxtaposed said valve member and supported in said valve housing, said spherical sealing segment adapted to protrude into a guide opening of said guide ring and guided by said guide opening coaxially with said valve seat, said armature including a central aperture, a bearing tube retainer affixed to said armature to surround said central aperature, a guide diaphragm secured along its outer circumference between said housing and a spacer ring, said guide diaphragm including a central aperture that surrounds said bearing tube retainer and a mid-portion that forms an annular guide zone upon which said annular guide ring of said armature rests, said guide diaphragm forming a centering element for said bearing tube retainer and said armature, a spherical pivot segment pivotably supported in said bearing tube retainer remote from said spherical sealing segment with said spherical pivot segment firmly joined to said cylindrical elongation segment of said valve member.
