  • Patent number: 9523437
    Abstract: The invention is an electromagnetic actuator with a magnet coil arranged in a housing and with an armature plate, which is movable by energization of the magnet coil in an armature plate space in the direction of a front end of the housing and which is connected to an armature plunger, which at one end is guided through the housing and protrudes into a control space; according to the invention the armature plate is formed with at least one axial pressure compensation bore so as to produce pressure compensation between the armature plate space and the control space, and the housing has at least one bearing with at least one axial groove, in which the armature plunger is mounted movably.

  • Patent number: 9369031
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electromagnetic actuator having a magnetically soft housing with at least two field coils which are distanced from each other axially, and an armature which is mounted in the housing concentrically to the field coils and which can slide axially, wherein the armature has at least one permanent magnet ring which encloses the armature radially. According to the invention, a non-magnetic sleeve is included which, together with the permanent magnet ring, radially surrounds the armature.

  • Patent number: 9305728
    Abstract: An electromagnetic actuating apparatus with a first armature arrangement axially displaced between a rest and actuating position and connected to a first actuating element. A pole core is brought into magnetic operative connection with the first armature arrangement. An axially oriented coil unit is energized, influencing the magnetic connection between the first pole core and the first armature arrangement, and a second armature arrangement is connected to a second actuating element and axially displaced between a rest and actuating position. A second pole core can be brought into magnetic operative connection with second armature arrangement, its pole core oriented axially to first pole core influencing its magnetic operative connection with second armature arrangement.

  • Publication number: 20140202561
    Abstract: Electromagnetic fluid valve regulating the throughflow of a pressure medium which flows through a housing part having at least two inlet openings which lie opposite one another and at least one outlet opening for the pressure medium. It being possible for a channel which is situated between the inlet openings and the outlet opening to be closed to a greater or lesser extent by an axially movable slide for regulating the throughflow of the pressure medium, a pin protruding into the channel centrically with respect to the center axis of the fluid valve, the pin being provided, for flow guidance, with an outer contour which is of at least approximately conical, pyramidal or hyperbolic design, with the result that the pressure medium which is to flow from the inlet openings strikes the outer contour of the pin and diverted in the direction of the at least one outlet opening.

  • Patent number: 8322371
    Abstract: A ball seat valve, use thereof, and method for controlling a valve assembly comprising a ball seat valve, wherein the valve body has a chamber and a plurality of inlet openings in the chamber. The inlet openings together have an inflow area leading into the chamber through which a medium can flow, and wherein the medium flows through said openings simultaneously as these are connected to one another in parallel. The valve has a seat with an outlet opening leading out of the chamber through the valve body, and wherein the outlet opening has an outflow area leading out of the chamber through which the medium can flow. Additionally, the valve has a ball which is situated in the chamber so as to be displaceable to open up or block the outlet opening. It is advantageous that the plurality of inlet openings comprise more than 10, especially more than 50, individual such inlet openings, resulting in a decrease in pressure between the inflowing medium outside and that inside the chamber.
