There is provided an electromagnetic solenoid including: a stator including a stator core; a coil configured to generate an electromagnetic attractive force by energizing the stator core; a mover configured to be attracted toward the stator by the electromagnetic attractive force; and a magnetic elastic admixture including a resin material with soft magnetism and elasticity, wherein the mover is configured to be capable of reciprocating by being released by an elastic body that generates a biasing force in a direction opposite to a direction in which the electromagnetic attractive force acts, a proximal end of the mover is located at a first proximal end position upon the mover being electromagnetically attracted toward the stator during energization of the coil, and is located at a second proximal end position upon the mover being electromagnetically released and moved to a side opposite to the stator during de-energization of the coil, and the magnetic elastic admixture is configured to elastically deform between the mover and the stator and not to be separated from a contact surface with the mover and a contact surface with the stator.

An electro-mechanical system has a solenoid with a plunger received in a housing chamber. A plunger portion extends outwardly of the housing. There is at least one coil, and a control for the at least one coil. The control selectively applies a first higher level current to the coil to move the plunger to an actuated position relative to the housing. The control is operable to stop the supply of first high level current to the at least one coil and allow the plunger to move to an un-actuated position. The control is operable to supply a partial power current to the at least one coil when in said un-actuated position to resist movement of the plunger. A method is also disclosed.

In some examples, a static part includes a static body and a first cylindrical extension extending from the static body, the first cylindrical extension including an open end with a cylindrical inner surface having a first diameter. A moveable part is moveable toward the static part by the magnetic flux of a solenoid.

A moveable part is moveable toward the static part by the magnetic flux of a solenoid. The moveable part may include a moveable body and a second cylindrical extension extending from the moveable body, the second cylindrical extension including a cylindrical outer surface having a second diameter, smaller than the first diameter, to enable the cylindrical outer surface to move within the open end. The second diameter is sized for the cylindrical outer surface to pass adjacent to the cylindrical inner surface to enable passage of a portion of the magnetic flux radially to reduce an energy of impact between the moveable part and the static part.

An electromagnetic control mechanism for a switching element is described herein, which can be switched to an open operating state and to a closed operating state by means of an electromagnet and an actuating unit that acts counter to the actuation force of the electromagnet. The electromagnet has a dedicated mechanism for dampening the actuation movement of an anchor of the electromagnet toward a section of the coil, by means of which the actuation speed of the anchor can be reduced after a distance between a section of the anchor facing the coil and the section of the coil becomes shorter than a predefined distance. The mechanism for dampening comprises at least one component connected to the coil, which becomes functionally connected to the anchor after the distance becomes shorter than the defined distance, wherein, as the displacement of the anchor increases, liquid can be discharged from a chamber bordered by the component and the anchor via a throttle mechanism to an extent that reduces the actuation speed of the anchor.

An electromagnetic drive for implementing a linear motion includes an electromagnet having a coil, a core and an armature able to move linearly along a symmetrical axis of the core, wherein an air gap is formed between the core and the armature.
