PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a mounting structure for an oil flow control valve (OCV) 1 commonly usable irrespective of the types of engines, enabling the fixing of the OCV 1 to a fixed member E without requiring a space and welding which are required for bracket, and capable of preventing the OCV 1 from being loosened off. SOLUTION: The OCV 1 comprises a fixed ring 31 having a generally cylindrical sleeve 11, a spool valve 10 having a spool 12 axially moving inside the sleeve 11, and an electromagnetic actuator 13 driving the spool valve 10 and fitted to the yoke 18 of the electromagnetic actuator 13. The OCV 1 compresses an elastic ring 32 when the spool valve 10 is inserted into a sleeve insertion hole E1 formed in the engine E and the fixed ring 13 fitted to the yoke 18 is axially pressed against a mounting hole E2 with the elastic ring 32 interposed therebetween. The OCV 1 is bitten into an undercut E3 formed in the engine E by producing a radial elastic deformation in the elastic ring 32. Consequently, the OCV 1 can be surely prevented from being loosened off. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
