A balanced armature receiver including a motor with a yoke for retaining magnets and fastening to an armature are disclosed. The yoke includes a close-ended wall structure formed of a soft magnetic material having multiple folded corners defining an armature passage. A first magnet retaining wall portion of the yoke is arranged in parallel with, and opposite, a second magnet retaining wall portion, wherein at least a portion of the first magnet retaining wall portion has a reduced thickness relative to other wall portions of the close-ended wall structure. The armature is connected to the reduced thickness portion of the first magnet retaining wall portion, thereby reducing an overall z-axis dimension of the motor.

An electric component assembly includes a housing with which an electric component is fitted together, and the electric component and the housing are fixed to one side of a base body. The electric component includes a connecting terminal configured to be press-fitted in a through-hole of the control board of the housing, and a direction in which the connecting terminal is inserted into the through-hole is same as a fitting direction relative to the housing. There are provided a rib protruding from one of the electric component and the housing, and a groove portion recessed from another one of the electric component and the housing and into which the rib is press-fitted. Movement of the electric component in a direction intersecting the fitting direction and rotation of the electric component around an axis parallel to the fitting direction are restrained by the rib press-fitted into the groove portion.

A solenoid actuator includes a housing assembly, a bobbin assembly, a coil, an armature, and an anti-rotation structure. The bobbin assembly is disposed at least partially within the housing assembly and includes a return pole and a yoke. The yoke has an inner surface that defines an armature cavity. The coil is disposed within the housing assembly and is wound around at least a portion of the bobbin assembly. The armature is disposed within the armature cavity and is axially movable relative to the yoke. The anti-rotation structure is disposed within the housing assembly and engages at least a portion of the armature. The armature and the anti-rotation structure each have at least one feature formed thereon that mate with each other and thereby prevent rotation of the armature.

Valve (1) for fluids, preferably for gases, comprising an inlet passage (2) for a fluid; an outlet passage (3) for the fluid; a shutter (4) interposed between the inlet passage (2) and the outlet passage (3) and movable along a movement direction (L) between an open position and a closed position; first magnetic attraction means (5) operatively active on the shutter (4) for attracting and/or keeping the shutter (4) itself towards the open position; a box-shaped body (7) containing the first magnetic attraction means (5) and extending along the movement direction (L) between an outer face and an inner face with respect to an inner volume (V) of the valve (1) interposed between the inlet passage (2) and the outlet passage (3). The box-shaped body (7) further comprises a dividing wall (10) for isolating the first magnetic attraction means (5) from the inner volume (V).

Systems and methods for a solenoid supervisory detection system which can detect the presence or absence of a solenoid plunger within a solenoid coil. These systems can be used to verify correct reassembly of a solenoid valve after it has been disassembled for testing.

An electromagnetic actuator in which magnetic force from a permanent magnet causes a stator core and a first plunger to attract each other, and electromagnetic force generated by energizing an electromagnetic coil causes a mover to resist against the magnetic force from the permanent magnet to move in an axial direction separating from a front end portion of the stator core, wherein a ring member provided on the mover is inserted in the axial direction into a hole portion provided in a bottom wall member of a yoke, and an overlap size between the ring member and the bottom wall member is increased when the mover moves relative to the stator core in a separating direction, so that a magnetism transmission quantity from the permanent magnet passing through an overlap portion between the ring member and the bottom wall member is inhibited from being reduced.
