The disclosure relates to an electromagnetic actuator for actuating a valve. The actuator has a housing, a core and a yoke. A coil body, which carries at least one coil winding, is arranged in the housing. The coil body encloses an armature space at least to some extent. An armature is arranged within the armature space such that it can be moved in its axial direction. A bearing element is arranged on the yoke and has a disc-shaped fastening portion and a tubular bearing portion, which bears the armature. The bearing portion projects inwards from the fastening portion.

A solenoid (54) for a solenoid-actuated valve (30) includes a sintered powder metal one-piece core (64) of at least one soft magnetic material and at least one non-magnetic material integrally connected together and a movable armature (88) disposed in the core(64) and having a tapered tip to achieve a required force vs position and current characteristics.

An electromagnetic actuator includes an essentially cylindrical pole tube, an armature situated radially within the pole tube, and an electromagnetic coil situated radially outside of the pole tube, the pole tube including a first axial end area, a second axial end area, and an outer recess, which extends in the circumferential direction, in proximity to the first axial end area on an outer side of the pole tube. On an inner side, the pole tube includes an inner recess that extends in the circumferential direction and whose axial extension is smaller than an axial extension of the outer recess and that is situated approximately at the height of an edge area of the outer recess pointing away from the second axial end area viewed in the axial direction.

In a diameter-increasing portion, which includes first to third angle segments, an A-point is defined as an intersection between a radially outer surface of a thin wall portion and the first angle segment, and a B-point is defined as an intersection between a radially outer surface of a thick wall portion and the third angle segment. Radially outer surfaces of the first to third angle segments are located on a radially outer side of a reference conical surface, which is formed by rotating a straight line connecting between the A-point and the B-point about a central axis, throughout an entire range from the A-point to the B-point. A first angle , a second angle , a third angle and a reference angle satisfy relationships of , , >, and >.

An electromagnetic positioning device (1), having a stationary spool unit (9), having a moveably guided anchor (2), which forms a positioning section (14) and which can be axially displaced along a displacement axis (V) in response to supplying the spool unit (9) with current, as well as having a one-part cup-shaped yoke-core element (3), which receives the anchor (2) and which includes a core section (5) as well as a yoke section (6) and which has a yoke-core bottom (4) extending perpendicular to the displacement axis (V) and a yoke-core sheath extending perpendicular to the yoke-core bottom (4) along the displacement axis (V), a longitudinally cut transition area (8) reduced in thickness and arranged between the core section (5) and the yoke section (6) being realized in the yoke-core sheath. It is intended that a guide pin (17) for the anchor (2) is fixed, preferably pressed in, in a, preferably centric, guide pin recess (18) in the yoke-core bottom (4) and protrudes axially into a, preferably centric, guide opening (13) of the anchor (2) and can be displaced relative to the anchor (2) during its displacement movement.

A linear actuator configured to axially move a plunger. The linear actuator includes a flux sleeve surrounded by a bobbin housing a wire coil. The flux sleeve defines an armature cavity extending along a movement axis, where a magnetic field is created within the flux sleeve when a current is applied to the wire coil. An armature is receivable within the armature cavity, where the magnetic field created within the flux sleeve acts upon the armature such that the armature moves along the movement axis based on the magnetic field, and where moving the armature moves the plunger. A liner is positioned within the armature cavity between the armature and the flux sleeve. The liner includes at least one of a polyamide and a polyimide.

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.

A solenoid valve includes a solenoid including a guide, a mover that moves in an axial direction radially inside the guide, a yoke made of a magnetic material and disposed on one axial side of the mover, a magnet on one axial side of the yoke, an elastic body that applies an elastic force to the mover in the direction away from the magnet, a cover made of a magnetic material, a pin which moves as the mover moves, and a valve that is opened and closed as the mover and the pin move. The cover includes a cylinder surrounding the radial outside of the solenoid, a first wall on the other axial side of the solenoid, and a second wall that covers one axial side of the magnet.

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. 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.

A solenoid device includes a yoke, a core, a shaft, a bobbin, a coil, a plunger, a lid, and a housing. A housing body part of the housing has a first opening; a cylindrical first inner wall part having a first step part extending toward the outer side in the radial direction; and a cylindrical second inner wall part having a second step part extending toward the outer side in the radial direction. A first cylindrical part has a first flange part. The outer diameter of the first flange part is larger than the inner diameter of the first inner wall part and smaller than the inner diameter of the second inner wall part. A circumferential end part of the first flange part contacts the second step part. The lid is non-magnetic, and a circumferential edge part is held between the first step part and the first flange part.
