A solenoid actuator is provided including, a flux return tube, a pole piece having a pole piece shunt, and an armature assembly having a magnetic portion and a non-magnetic spacer. The solenoid actuator also includes two non-magnetic bearing strips for the armature assembly, wherein one of the bearing strip slides on the flux return tube, and a second bearing strip slides on the pole piece shunt.

A linear solenoid has a coil, a plunger, a magnetic attractive core, and a magnetic delivery core. The coil generates a magnetic force when being energized. The plunger is supported to be movable in an axial direction on an inner side of the coil. The magnetic attractive core magnetically attracts the plunger in the axial direction by the magnetic force generated by the coil. The magnetic delivery core delivers a magnetic flux to an outer surface of the plunger. A shaft that is non-magnetic and extends in the axial direction is fixed on the inner side of the coil. The plunger has a shaft hole defined around an axial center of the plunger, and the shaft is inserted in the shaft hole. The plunger slides while being in contact with the shaft. One end of the shaft is fixed to the magnetically attractive core.

A rolling-element bearing for an electromagnetic solenoid includes a hollow cylindrical cage with a plurality of spherical pockets formed around a first circumference and a second circumference of the cage. The pockets around the first circumference are offset from the pockets around the second circumference. Spherical rolling elements are provided in the spherical pockets and are captured for free rotation in the first pockets and second pockets.

A magnetic actuator or liner actuator with improved plunger control and a simplified construction technique is provided.

An alignment member for a solenoid is provided. The solenoid includes a housing, a solenoid coil arranged within the housing, a first pole piece arranged within the housing, a second pole piece arranged at least partially within the housing, and a disk. The alignment member includes a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and a center portion that defines a center portion diameter that is less than a diameter defined by the first end and the second end.

A solenoid drive may include a ferromagnetic housing having a coil receiving chamber axially limited by opposing first and second face side walls, and a cylindrical coil arrangement having at least one electric coil, and being arranged in the coil receiving chamber and coaxially surrounding a cylindrical coil interior space. The solenoid drive may also include a ferromagnetic plunger stop having a central region projecting axially in the coil interior space, and a ferromagnetic plunger arranged at the housing opposing the plunger stop. The plunger may project axially into the coil interior space, and may be adjustable axially bi-directionally between an active position proximal to the central region and a passive position distal to the central region. The solenoid drive may further include a ferromagnetic bypass device arranged coaxially to the coil arrangement, radially within the at least one coil, and spaced apart axially from the face side walls.

An electromechanical solenoid has a solenoid assembly including a solenoid coil with a coil aperture formed therein. A pole piece assembly is positioned at least partially within the coil aperture, the pole piece assembly including a first pole piece and a second pole piece positioned at least partially within an hour-glass shaped alignment member. The first pole piece has a first bore and a first outer tapered surface extending away from the first bore, and the second pole piece has a second bore and a second outer tapered surface extending away from the second bore. An armature is moveable within the first bore and the second bore in response to a magnetic field produced by the solenoid coil.

An electromagnetic drive for a cutting device of a textile machine for severing a thread, a cutting device having an electromagnetic drive, and a yarn clearer having a cutting device are provided. The electromagnetic drive may comprise a solenoid and a piston configured to drive a cutting blade carrier. The piston may be guided for linear movement within the solenoid and may be configured to be linearly moved between a rest position and a working position. The electromagnetic drive may comprise an axial air gap between an end face of the piston and a counter face of a component of the solenoid. The component may be stationary relative to the piston and the axial air gap may be varier based on movement of the piston.

The disclosure relates to an electromagnetic actuating device for a hydraulic camshaft adjuster. The electronic actuating device includes a housing, a yoke, a pole core, an armature, and an actuating pin and a bearing unit. The actuating pin is led out of the housing by means of the bearing unit, and the bearing unit forms a press-fit connection with the housing or with a component connected to the housing. To improve the connection, the bearing unit, the housing and/or the component connected to the housing have a recess that increases the elasticity of the press-fit connection.

A precise-positioning linear rolling bearing is provided. The precise-positioning linear rolling bearing includes a bearing seat, where the bearing seat includes a tube; a plurality of rolling elements for clamping a telescopic mandrel are provided at each of two ends of the tube; a support for supporting the tube is provided on an outer sidewall of the tube; and at least two first positioning pins are provided at a bottom of the support. The precise-positioning linear rolling bearing solves the problem that when the prior art is applied to the electromagnetic drive module, the manufacturing cost is increased.
