An electromagnetic valve including a solenoid to generate an electromagnetic force; a cylindrical member at least partially disposed in the solenoid and made from a non-magnetic material; a movable member configured to be moved in the cylindrical member in an axial direction of the valve based on the solenoid, the movable member including a restriction portion on one end side of the movable member; a plunger including one end portion located on the one end side and an opposite end portion located on an opposite end side of the movable member, the plunger being restricted in a movement thereof in a radial direction due to the opposite end portion disposed at the restriction portion. A movable amount of the movable member in the radial direction in the cylindrical member is less than a movable amount of the plunger in the radial direction relative to the restriction portion.

An adjustable magnetic valve includes a magnet assembly and a guide sleeve in which a static component is arranged fixedly and a valve armature is arranged so as to be axially displaceable therein. The magnet assembly is pushed onto the static component and the guide sleeve. The static component forms an axial stop for the valve armature, which either forces a closing element into a valve seat or lifts the closing element from the valve seat depending on the direction in which the valve armature is driven. The valve armature and the static component are each formed as plastic components. The valve armature has a magnet receptacle that receives a permanent magnet, which is polarized in terms of its movement direction such that the permanent magnet is arranged within the magnet assembly regardless of the armature stroke.

An electromagnetic valve comprises a valve body having a dividing wall which separates a first chamber and a second chamber and a through-hole formed in the dividing wall and in which a valving element is inserted, a guide member having a main body portion disposed between an outer peripheral surface of the valving element and an inner peripheral surface of the valving element and forming a gap with the inner peripheral surface of the through-hole, an insertion hole through which the valving element is inserted and which slides against the outer peripheral surface of the valving element, a flange portion provided on an one-end side of the main body portion and being in contact with the dividing wall and a tapered portion provided in the one-end side and disposed inside the first chamber. The flange portion is pushed toward the dividing wall by a pushing member.

The vehicular brake device includes a determination unit, a ratio setting unit, and the control unit. The determination unit determines the operating condition of a vehicular brake device. The ratio setting unit sets, on the basis of the result of determination by the determination unit, a first ratio which is the ratio of a wheel pressure generated by a piston drive unit to a target wheel pressure, and a second ratio which is the ratio of a wheel pressure generated by a hydraulic pressure adjusting unit to the target wheel pressure. The control unit controls the piston drive unit and the hydraulic pressure adjusting unit on the basis of the first ratio and the second ratio.

The present disclosure obtains a hydraulic pressure control unit capable of appropriately diagnosing presence or absence of fixation of an electromagnetic valve. In the hydraulic pressure control unit according to the present disclosure, a controller includes: an acquisition section that acquires a current value of a current flowing through a coil of the electromagnetic valve in a hydraulic pressure control mechanism; and a diagnosis section that determines whether the current value has exhibited behavior of being temporarily reduced in a process in which the current value is increased at initiation of applying the current to the coil of the electromagnetic valve, so as to diagnose the presence or the absence of the fixation of the electromagnetic valve.

A pressure control valve for a vehicle is provided. The pressure control valve for a vehicle includes: a valve body having an oil inlet part into which oil discharged from a wheel cylinder flows; a driving part installed in the valve body; a plunger connected to the driving part and movably installed inside the valve body; a valve seat disposed inside the valve body and having an oil passage part formed such that the oil flowing into the oil inlet part is supplied to an accumulator; a first elastic member installed to apply an elastic force to the plunger such that the plunger returns to an original position; an opening and closing member installed in the oil passage part to open the oil passage part when the opening and closing member is pressed by the plunger; and a second elastic member applying an elastic force to the opening and closing member such that the opening and closing member closes the oil passage part.

A method for activating a fluid solenoid valve in a fluid system of a vehicle, in which, in order to set a switching mode, an activation voltage is applied to a coil arrangement of the fluid solenoid valve. The activation voltage is set depending on an operating criterion to at least two different operating modes, wherein, in a first operating mode, a current regulation of the coil current flowing through the coil arrangement is performed, and in a second operating mode, differing from the first operating mode, the activation voltage is set without the current regulation.

A valve armature for a solenoid valve has a basic body consisting of a magnetically conductive metal. On one end of the basic body is arranged a depression which receives a tappet having a closing element. A tappet basic body consists of plastic and forms an interference fit with the basic body. A valve cartridge for a solenoid valve has such a valve armature, in which case, the basic body has an annular groove which is connected to the depression. The annular groove receives plastic deformations of the tappet basic body which form a form fit with the annular groove and fix the tappet basic body in the depression.

Provided is an electromagnetic valve and a brake apparatus capable of reducing friction between a plunger and a valve seat. An electromagnetic valve includes a solenoid configured to generate an electromagnetic force by receiving power supply; a cylindrical member at least partially disposed in the solenoid and made from a non-magnetic material; a movable member configured to be moved in the cylindrical member in an axial direction of the electromagnetic valve due to an attracting force of the solenoid, the movable member being made from a magnetic material, the movable member including a restriction portion on one end side of the movable member in the axial direction; a plunger including one end portion located on the one end side in the axial direction and an opposite end portion located on an opposite end side in the axial direction, the plunger being configured to be subjected to restriction of a movement thereof in a radial direction due to the opposite end portion disposed at the restriction portion;
