  • Patent number: 10978232
    Abstract: An electromagnet and method for producing the electromagnet. The electromagnet is intended to maintain pretensioning force of fastening by a force acting on a yoke over intended operating time under changing operating temperatures. The yoke encloses an armature that is provided with a flange, which conducts magnetic flux from a housing to the armature, the housing being connected on the one hand to a flange of the yoke and on the other hand to a core flange in a material-bonding manner by welding. The electromagnet can be used for actuation of valves, couplings or other electromechanical adjusting elements.

  • Publication number: 20200227189
    Abstract: The electromagnet, at least comprising a magnet coil wound onto a coil core, a housing, a pole core, an armature, an armature rod and a yoke, should have a very low hysteresis of the force with a variable stroke at low manufacturing costs. The coil core is manufactured by jointly overmolding or overcasting the yoke, the pole core and the core flange with a plastic mass, wherein the axial intermediate space between the yoke and the pole core (4) is also filled with the plastic mass. Electromagnets of the described type are used for actuating fluid valves or couplings, preferentially in motor vehicles or in mobile working machines.

  • Publication number: 20180112731
    Abstract: An actuator having controlled blocking of an end position and a method for operating a parking brake having such an actuator. The blocking device according to the present disclosure is intended to be constructed to be very wear-resistant and fracture-resistant and the force transmission path of the blocking device is not intended to be directed via the electromagnet which actuates the blocking device. The electromagnet in the state supplied with current presses a blocking cone into a piston counter to a spring by means of a tappet, wherein the blocking cone presses a group of balls which are supported in openings of the piston outwards by means of a conical face and wherein these balls are supported, on the one hand, on a shoulder of a blocking sleeve which is connected to a cylinder and, on the other hand, on the openings of the piston and thereby block a movement of the piston out of the end position thereof. Such a system can be used on vehicles having an electrohydraulically actuated parking brake.
