The actuator includes a movable body and a support body, first and second connecting bodies connected to the movable body and the support body, and a magnetic drive circuit. The movable body includes a first yoke including a first flat plate portion overlapping a coil from a Z1 direction, and a pair of first connecting plate portions extending from both ends of the first flat plate portion in a Z2 direction, and a second yoke including a second flat plate portion overlapping the coil in the Z2 direction and a pair of second connecting plate portions extending from both ends of the second flat plate portion in the Z1 direction. The first yoke and the second yoke are assembled by press-fitting the pair of second connecting plate portions into the pair of first connecting plate portions.

A bistable linear electromagnet comprising a first housing (10) and a second housing (11) in alignment, a movable armature (18) comprising a rod (19) and a shuttle (20) that is slidably mounted, and a first coil (13) positioned in the first housing and a second coil (15) positioned in the second housing. A cavity (25) is made in a measurement wall (4) of one of the housings, and the electromagnet comprises a magnetic field sensor (26) positioned in the cavity and designed to measure a magnetic flux existing in a magnetic path formed by the walls of said housing and by the shuttle, in order to detect whether the shuttle has moved towards or away from the abutment wall of said first or second housing.

Floor panels are shown, which are provided with a mechanical locking system on long and short edges allowing installation with vertical snap folding that could be accomplished automatically without tools and where the short edge locking system has a tongue made in one piece with the panel. The floor panels may have a first and a second connector at the long edges that are configured to obtain a minimum of friction facilitating a displacement, by a spring back force from the bending of a short edge locking strip, of a new panel in a horizontal direction along the long edge during the vertical snap folding action.

This optical scanning device includes: a shaft part to which a mirror part is connected; a movable magnet; a base part; a ball bearing; a core unit that has a core body and a coil body and rotationally drives the movable magnet; and a magnet position holding member that is a magnetic body provided facing the movable magnet and magnetically attracts the movable magnet to a reference position. The core unit is disposed on the outer surface side of one wall section of a pair of wall sections of the base part. An angle sensor unit for detecting the rotation angle position of the shaft part is disposed between the core unit and the one wall section.

The invention relates to an electromagnetic actuating device (20) having at least two actuator units (1a, 1b) which are arranged adjacently in a housing (10) and which each have electrically energizable static coil means (2a, 2b), armature means (3a, 3b) mounted so as to be movable relative to said coil means, and a plunger (4a, 4b) which interacts with the armature means (3a, 3b) and which is mounted so as to be movable along axial plunger direction (S1, S2) and which has a free end portion (5a, 5b) for engagement into an actuation partner, in particular a guide groove of a camshaft, wherein the plungers (4a, 4b) of the actuator units (1a, 1b) of the actuating device (20) are preferably arranged such that the plunger directions (S1, S2) thereof run parallel to one another, and wherein the device (20) has adjustment means (6) which are integrated in the housing (10) and which serve for varying the arrangement of at least one plunger along a plane (E) perpendicular to the respective plunger direction (S1, S2).

An electromagnetic braking device includes a brake disk, a fixed disk, an armature, a biasing member for biasing the armature, and a stator for attracting the armature. In a stator magnetic circuit member, a first yoke, a permanent magnet, and a second yoke are arranged in this order from one end to the other end of a U shape. In a rotatable state or a rotation braking state, even when the coil energization is OFF, the rotatable state or the rotation braking state is maintained. When a current of a predetermined magnitude flows through the coil in a first direction in the rotatable state, the state shifts to the rotation braking state, and when a current of a predetermined magnitude flows through the coil in a second direction in the rotation braking state, the state shifts to the rotatable state.
