The valve has a piezoelectric lamella (9) clamped in its housing, which is bent by an applied electrical voltage and actuates a closing body (8) with a free end (11) movable between two switch positions. A magnetic force acts on the free end (11) of the lamella (9), which is provided by a magnetizable body (17; 20) in each of the two switching positions on one of two opposite magnetic poles (13, 14). The valve can be used as a converter that converts an electrical signal into a fluid signal. |
