A solenoid valve system (12), wherein the valve member (16) is provided with a seal member (28) disposed thereabout. The solenoid valve (12) is especially suitable for use with exhaust gas recirculation systems (14). The seal member (28) is operable to slide axially relative to the valve member (16), including the stem portion (24) thereof. An optional lubricant (50) is provided between the valve member (16) and the seal member (28) so as to provide a relatively low friction environment therebetween when the valve member (16) is in motion. An optional biasable member (52), in operable association with the seal member (28), is provided so as to maintain proper positioning of the seal member (28), e.g., during operation of the solenoid valve system (12). |
