<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a flow control valve capable of improving operational stability of a valve element, and capable of increasing a maximum flow rate by reducing flowing resistance of fluid. <P>SOLUTION: This PCV valve 40 includes a case 42 provided with a gas passage 55, a valve body 60 arranged in the gas passage 55 so as to be capable of advancing-retreating, and a spring 72 for energizing the valve body 60 in the retreating direction. A guide unit GF for guiding the valve body 60 is arranged between the case 42 and the valve body 60. The guide unit GF is provided with a cylindrical part 45 of the case 42, a shaft part 64 of the valve body 60, and a plurality of guide projections 66 radially arranged in the cylindrical part 45 and slidingly contacting with the shaft part 64. The length 66L in the axial direction of the guide projections 66 is shorter than a moving distance M in the advancing-retreating direction of the valve body 60. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
