Poppet valve for pump systems with non-rigid connector to facilitate sealing

摘要

An illustrative valve is disclosed that includes a valve body with a valve seat (160) and a valve member (114) adapted to sealingly engage the valve seat. The valve also includes an actuator (130) operatively coupled to the valve member via a non-rigid connector (128), wherein the actuator is adapted for selectively moving the valve member relative to the valve seat.
