Intake valves

Intake valves are an essential component of the valve train in an internal combustion engine and control the supply of the air-fuel mixture to the combustion chamber. They open and close precisely in conjunction with the camshaft, valve springs, and, if present, hydraulic tappets to ensure thorough cylinder filling and efficient combustion. In this category, you will find intake valves for numerous vehicle makes and engine types.

Intake valves are subjected to high thermal and mechanical stresses. Therefore, they are manufactured from heat-resistant, low-wear steel alloys. Crucial parameters include valve head diameter, stem diameter, stem length, seat angle, and material hardness. Precisely manufactured valve geometry supports optimal gas flow in the intake tract and contributes to smooth engine operation, clean combustion, and consistent performance. Worn or leaking intake valves can lead to compression loss, power loss, increased fuel consumption, and rough running.
