Automotive Pressure Regulator Pin
PRODUCT BULLETIN A new valve design used in a fuel pressure regulator for a major automotive part manufacturer presented several challenges for manufacturability. First, the design of the valve seat limited the weight of the part, so to reduce weight, the material between the rubber seal and the spring had to be as thin as possible. Second, the rubber seal molded into the valve seat required compliance with a strict flatness specification of +/
