A magnetic microactuator (100) including a coil (6; 61; 62) controlling the axial movement of a sliding block (30) including at least one permanent magnet (2) joined or aligned with a ferromagnetic or magnetised rear arbor (42) and guiding the field lines of the magnetic field of revolution in the axial direction (D) through the coil (6; 61; 62) wherein circulates the sliding block (30), up to a rear end (43) of said rear arbor (42) that tends to cooperate by magnetic attraction with at least one first ferromagnetic restoration element (8), located in the vicinity of a rear face (25) of the structure (20) of the microactuator (100), in order to bring said sliding block (30) back into a rear end-of-travel position when no coil (6; 61; 62) is powered.

A translating actuator acting between two extreme positions defined by mechanical stops is described. Said actuator comprises: an armature mass movable relative to the armature body, a stiff armature spring set such that the natural resting position of the armature mass is close to the centre of travel between the two extreme positions and pair of latches with sufficient holding force that the armature mass can be held at either extreme position against the restoring force of the spring and can be released quickly relative to the natural period of vibration determined by the armature mass on the armature spring.

The disclosure relates to a steering apparatus with a blocking device for limiting a steering angle of rotation, wherein the blocking device has a blocking element movable between a locking position and a release position, and with a shaft which is mounted rotatably about its centre longitudinal axis. When in the locking position, the blocking element interacts with a blocking contour in order to stop a rotational movement of the shaft. The blocking element is movable by the actuator for interaction with the blocking contour. The steering angle of rotation for the steering apparatus can be limited in two directions of rotation directed facing away from each other by the blocking element, wherein both a first end stop position in a first direction of rotation and a second end stop position in a second direction of rotation opposed to the first direction of rotation can be predefined by the blocking element and in interaction with the blocking contour.

A solenoid valve includes a valve portion and a solenoid portion. The valve portion has a sleeve and a valve body. The solenoid portion includes a tubular coil portion, a magnetic yoke having a side surface portion and a bottom portion, a columnar plunger, a shaft, a stator core having a core shaft hole for sliding the plunger in the axial direction, and a base portion having a base shaft hole. In a radial thickness of the sleeve, a thickness of a part corresponding to an end outer peripheral surface is smaller than a thickness of a sliding portion of an inner peripheral surface of the sleeve, which is a portion on which the valve body slides.

A sensor shifting module includes a fixed body, a first movable body movably disposed on the fixed body and coupled to an image sensor having an imaging plane oriented in a first direction, and a first driver configured to rotate the first movable body about an axis orthogonal to the first direction with respect to the fixed body, wherein the first driver includes a tilt guide ball disposed between the fixed body and the first movable body to provide a tilt center for the first movable body with respect to the fixed body.

A valve base 15 has: a valve base body 20 on which a pin insertion hole 65 and a board installing hole 38 are formed; a board assembly 42 having a board 43 provided with a plurality of output terminals and a board connector 44 provided with a plurality of input terminals; a plurality of coupling terminals provided on the board 43 at intervals and connected to the input terminals of the board connector 44 of another adjacent board assembly 42; an output wiring connecting the output terminals and the input terminals; and a coupling wiring connecting the coupling terminals to the input terminals. A plurality of output pins 61 to 63 constituting the output terminals are provided on the board assembly 42. A manifold solenoid valve is formed by a plurality of valve bases on which solenoid valves are mounted.

An electromagnetic actuator including a soft-ferromagnetic yoke is described. The electromagnetic actuator includes, an at least substantially cylindrical circumferential wall covered at a first end with a base and at a second end with a top, the circumferential wall defining an axis in a direction from the base end to the top. An intermediate yoke section holds a permanent magnet fixed that leaves an inner space housing an axially movable core element being flexibly restrained with at least one resilient element. One of a base yoke section and/or a top yoke section houses an electromagnetic coil.

Various embodiments of balanced armature receivers are disclosed, where the receiver includes a yoke which retains permanent magnets, a coil assembly having a coil tunnel, and an armature coupled to the yoke, with a movable portion extending through the coil tunnel and an end portion that is free to deflect between the magnets when an excitation signal is applied to the coil assembly. There are a stationary protrusion which extends from the stationary portion of the receiver toward the movable portion of the armature, and a movable protrusion which extends from the movable portion of the armature toward the stationary portion of the receiver. The stationary and movable protrusions are offset laterally.

An electromagnetic switching device (10) and a method for producing the electromagnetic switching device (10) are disclosed. To this end, a magnetic armature (13) and a pressure pin (19) which is movable in a bearing (21) along an axis (A) are provided. A bearing sleeve (11) accommodates at least the bearing (21) and the magnetic armature (13). An electromagnetic casing (12) and the bearing sleeve (11) are together made of a single material in the form of a one-piece component (100).

An adjustable solenoid assembly with an adjustable threaded pole having an interference fit section to be used with a complementary threaded receiver (e.g., the bore of the top plate) with an interference fit section. The adjustable threaded sections are used to pull or push the interference fit sections together and allow for precise locating of the interference fit sections and adjustment. The threaded pole may be used to set and maintain a precision working air gap between the pole piece and the plunger of the electromagnetic solenoid assembly. The interference fit holds the pole piece into location while still allowing the solenoid to be adjustable without a loss in flux density.
