A solenoid valve for the automotive industry includes a housing comprising an inlet channel and an outlet channel. An electromagnetic circuit is arranged in the housing. The electromagnetic circuit includes a coil wound onto a coil carrier, an armature, a core, and a return device. The armature and the core are arranged in a valve interior. A valve rod is arranged to adjoin the armature. The valve rod is movably mounted in the core via a bearing. A sleeve body seals the valve interior. The sleeve body is provided as a bearing element for the armature. A valve closure body is operatively connected to the armature. The valve closure body includes pressure equalization openings and is movably mounted in the sleeve body via a first sealing element. A spring pre-tensions the armature.

A solenoid actuator includes a casing body having a receiving space defined therein; a casing cover coupled to the casing body, wherein the casing cover includes a connector for transmission of power and signal; a bobbin assembly installed in the receiving space; a core coupled to and extending through the bobbin assembly, wherein the core has a working space defined therein; a housing surrounding a lower end of the core protruding out of the bobbin assembly; a plunger movably installed in the working space; and a rod coupled to and extending through the core, wherein the rod moves under movement of the plunger. The bobbin assembly includes a bobbin terminal, and the casing cover includes a connector terminal, wherein when the casing cover is coupled to the casing body, the connector terminal is connected to the bobbin terminal.

A valve assembly for a vehicle brake apparatus is disclosed, including a solenoid valve, a pump housing having a bore accommodating the solenoid valve at least partially, a coil for applying a magnetic force to the solenoid valve, a circuit board configured to generate a signal for controlling opening and closing of the solenoid valve, a circuit board housing for accommodating the circuit board, a bobbin at least partially disposed inside the coil, a pin coupled to the bobbin and configured to supply an electric current to the coil, and a coil case at least partially disposed radially outwardly of the coil. Here, the bobbin is coupled with a compression unit that is in external contact with one surface of the circuit board and configured to compress the bobbin and the coil case toward the pump housing.

A haptic actuator may include a housing that includes first and second shells coupled together. The first shell may include a first body and first terminals extending outwardly therefrom. The second shell may include a second body and second terminals extending outwardly therefrom with each of the second terminals being secured with a respective one of the first terminals defining pairs of first and second secured-together terminals. The haptic actuator may also include at least one coil carried by the housing and a field member movable within the housing responsive to the at least one coil. A respective flexure may be between adjacent end portions of the housing and the field member.

An electromagnetic positioning device includes an armature member for actuating a positioning partner and movable in an armature space relative to a stationary core (30). The armature member conducts magnetic flux upon energization of a stationary coil (32). The coil has a coil support with a winding and at least one external contactable connector (46) embedded at least in sections in the core and/or surrounded by the core. The core has an end surface (34), which is planar at least in sections, for interacting with the armature member. The core and the coil are embedded in and/or surrounded by a one-piece pot-like and/or cup-like housing (38) made of a material suitable for deep-drawing in such a manner that the core rests on a membrane-like, continuous and closed base section of the housing, the base section realizing a boundary surface of the armature space.

An adjustable damping valve device includes a coil carrier with a coil which is wound on an inner sleeve and which has two wire ends which protrude over a winding body. A back iron having a passage for a power supply line of the coil is placed on the coil carrier. The wire ends of the coil are co-located adjacent to one another in an outlet area of the coil carrier, and the back iron has a radial slot which extends from the outer edge of the back iron to the passage and has a width which corresponds at least to the width of the outlet area.

A non-magnetic member, a first magnetic member and a second magnetic member are prepared. The first magnetic member and the second magnetic member are connected to the non-magnetic member. Then, a first bonding portion which bonds the non-magnetic member and the first magnetic member to each other, and a second bonding portion which bonds the non-magnetic member and the second magnetic member to each other are formed. A hot isostatic pressing process is performed to the non-magnetic member, the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member to establish diffusion-bond. Thereafter, the non-magnetic member, the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member are hollowed, and the first bonding portion and the second bonding portion are removed. Thereafter, the non-magnetic member becomes a non-magnetic body, the first magnetic member becomes a first magnetic body, the second magnetic member becomes a second magnetic body and a sleeve is obtained.

An enhanced safety coil that prevents crack formation and propagation to the coil windings from external sources and prevents exposure to fuel is provided. The enhanced safety coil may be used in a solenoid operated gas admission valve (SOGAV), and includes a plastic encapsulation body having at least one body de-stress feature, a coil wound on the plastic encapsulation body, a sleeve forming an outermost side protective wall configured to accommodate the plastic encapsulation body and coil therewithin, and potting provided between the plastic encapsulation body and the sleeve to seal the coil therein. The body de-stress feature is configured to reduce at least one of a formation or a propagation of a crack through the potting to the coil. The plastic encapsulation body forms retention latches configured to mate with a stator.
