The metering servovalve (7) includes a valve body (8, 30), a shutter (45), and an electromagnet (15), and is housed inside a casing (2) of the injector (1). The electromagnet (15) activates a movable armature (16) performing a travel defined by a stop member (19) carried by the electromagnet (15), which is fixed inside the casing by a threaded ring nut (40) with the interposition of at least one deformable shim (48). The ring nut (40) is screwed to a predetermined tightening torque to a thread (46) on the casing (2) to elastically deform the shim (48). And the shim (48) is defined by a metal ring with, for example, an L-, C-, S-, Z- or Σ-shaped cross section.
