  • Publication number: 20100192885
    Abstract: An electromagnetic actuating device comprising a plurality of electromagnetic actuation units (10, 12, 14), which can be selectively controlled for exerting an actuating force on a corresponding plurality of elongated tappet units (22, 24, 26) that are supported axially parallel, wherein the actuation units are provided in a common housing (18, 20; 78, 82) along the actuating direction axially parallel to each other, and form a contact surface that is at least planar in some sections and can be axially moved in the actuating direction at each associated engagement end facing the tappet units. A face (34, 36, 38) on the engagement side of each of the tappet units interacts with the engagement surface (28, 30, 32), wherein at least one of the plurality of tappet units sits eccentrically and/or with only a partial surface, with the face thereof on the engagement side, on the engagement surface of the associated actuation unit, particularly adheres to it magnetically.

  • Patent number: 7768368
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electromagnetic actuating apparatus with an armature unit, which is guided axially in a housing and is capable of being moved by means of energizing a coil apparatus, contact plug means, which are held in an insulator unit, being associated with the coil apparatus, and an elongated ground contact of the contact plug means being electrically conductively connected to the housing, and the ground contact interacting electrically conductively at an engagement end which is opposite its free end with a yoke section, which is associated with the housing preferably at the front end, in such a way that, in a fitted state, a cutout formed in the engagement end in the ground contact engages over a projection of the yoke section and/or at least partially surrounds it.

  • Publication number: 20100126445
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for camshaft adjustment in an internal combustion engine, having a lifting profile element which is provided in a rotationally fixed manner on an axially movable mounted camshaft and which provides a control groove, and having a control unit for generating a predetermined axial movement of the camshaft, wherein the control unit has a tappet unit which is preferably movable radially with respect to the camshaft and which is designed to controllably engage into the lifting profile element, wherein the lifting profile element forms a first control groove which is designed to interact with the tappet unit at a first penetration depth in order to describe a first axial movement of the camshaft, and the lifting profile element forms a second control groove which is designed to interact with the tappet unit at a second penetration depth, which differs from the first penetration depth, in order to describe a second axial movement, which differs from the first axial movement, of the c

  • Publication number: 20090183698
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electromagnetically actuated valve device with closure means (36) that can be actuated by an armature unit (32, 34) interacting with stationary coil means (22) which closure means are embodied for the controlled opening and/or closing of a flow region (18) formed between an inflow (12) and an outflow (14) in a valve housing (10, 16, 20), wherein the axially moveable armature unit (32, 34) embodied lengthwise comprises a passage which brings about pressure equalization so that in the valve housing on an axial end of the armature unit opposite to the inflow a pressure chamber (44) which is opened to the inflow via the passage is formed.

  • Publication number: 20080246568
    Abstract: Electromagnetic actuator having an armature unit which is axially guided in a housing and movable by passing current through a coil device and in particular against a return force of a return spring out of a first stop position defined by means for limiting the stroke, the means for limiting the stroke having a stop element which is mounted terminally in the housing and manufactured by a shaping, stamping, sintering and/or injection moulding method, and which is designed to cooperate with a plunger unit which can be actuated outside the housing and is designed for mechanically moving the armature out of the first stop position.
