An injection-molding machine comprising a hot runner, arranged in a manifold, for feeding a melt into a mold, a shut-off needle for optionally closing or opening the hot runner, a piston connected to the needle, is arranged in a housing with an opening and to which a fluid can be applied from both sides, and a covering plate having two fluid feeds, into the opening wherein the covering plate, the hot runner manifold and the housing are arranged in such a way that, at a first temperature of the manifold, a distance remains between the housing and the covering plate and, at a second higher temperature the thermal expansion of the manifold and/or housing causes the housing to come into contact with the covering plate, closing the opening. In a further embodiment, a flexible seal is provided between the housing and the covering plate. |
