Abstract
A throttle device, includes a housing, a gas conduit, a throttle shaft, a throttle body movable by means of the throttle shaft. According to the invention, a bearing is provided for supporting the throttle shaft on the housing, in which for sealing off an interstice in fluid-tight fashion between the throttle shaft and the housing, and in particular outside the bearing, a viscous medium is disposed in the interstice.
Claims16
A throttle device, including:
- a housing;
- a gas conduit embodied in the housing;
- a throttle shaft disposed in the gas conduit;
- a throttle body disposed in the throttle shaft and movable by means of the throttle shaft;
- and
- a bearing disposed outside the gas conduit for supporting the throttle shaft on the housing, the bearing defining an interior space in which the throttle shaft is located and an exterior space located outside the bearing and the interior space, an interstice between the throttle shaft and the housing, and a viscous medium disposed in the exterior space located outside the bearing and in the interstice, wherein the throttle shaft is provided with an annular groove, and a disk for axially supporting the throttle shaft is provide in the annular groove, and wherein the viscous medium is disposed in an interstice between the disk and the throttle shaft at the annular groove.
