  • Patent number: 9324524
    Abstract: An electromagnetic relay includes a movable iron core arranged to move up and down within a center hole of an electromagnet unit formed by winding a coil, and a contact switch where an upper end surface of the movable iron core attaches to and detaches from a lower end surface of a fixed iron core arranged in the center hole according to magnetization and demagnetization of the electromagnet unit and a movable contact attaches to and detaches from a fixed contact by a movable shaft which reciprocates along with the movable iron core where the movable iron core includes a sliding portion which always abuts an auxiliary yoke disposed within a yoke, and where a height dimension of the sliding portion is at least equal to or larger than a plate thickness dimension of the yoke.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8179217
    Abstract: A polar electromagnet device has a drive shaft comprising an axis center supported so as to reciprocate in an axis center direction at a center hole of a spool wound with a coil, and a movable iron core attached to a lower end of the drive shaft on the axis center. The drive shaft is reciprocated with the movable iron core which reciprocates based on excitation and demagnetization of the coil. A permanent magnet is integrally arranged at the movable iron core on the same axis center.
