Abstract: An electromagnetic actuator, including an armature movable along a longitudinal axis in an armature chamber, a solenoid coil extending around the longitudinal axis for generating a magnetic field for moving the armature, an actuating element coupled to the movements of the armature, and a flux washer body which is situated at an axial end of the solenoid coil and has a recess extending in the direction of the longitudinal axis in which the actuating element is displaceably mounted. It is provided that the flux washer body has a two-piece design and includes a base body made of sintered soft magnetic material, which faces the solenoid coil and in which the recess for the actuating element is situated, and a metal washer pressed onto an end of the base body facing away from the solenoid coil.

Abstract: A method according to the present invention includes providing a transfer plate used in conveying manufactured product or raw materials onto or off from a conveyor belt. Generally, the transfer plate includes a support member and a transfer extension depending from the support member to interface to a predetermined conveyor belt. The support member may be coupled to a support structure to allow multidirectional flotation, or acceptable operational movement, of the plate due to incidental movement of the conveyor belt. The method further includes the step of manually coupling the support member to the support structure, thereby preventing the need for tools during repair or replacement.

Abstract: A multipiston pump including a plurality of piston pumps hydraulically combined into at least two pump units are coupled on the intake side, but supply two separate hydraulic circuits of a vehicle brake system with pressure fluid. To reduce brake pedal pulsation the piston pumps are driven in phase-offset fashion. An eccentric unit comprising two spaced-apart cams rotated counter to one another, with the individual piston pumps being located in a number of sectional planes through the pump housing corresponding to the number of cams and locate the connecting conduits for hydraulically coupling the pump units are located in a region of the pump housing defined by the sectional planes.

The support member may be coupled to a support structure to allow multidirectional flotation, or acceptable operational movement, of the plate due to incidental movement of the conveyor belt. The support member is preferably manually couplable to the support structure, thereby preventing the need for tools during repair or replacement. The transfer interface may include fingers or a modular interface plate.

Abstract: The invention relates to a brake system for a vehicle having at least one brake circuit which includes at least one wheel brake, one inlet valve, one outlet valve, and one return device. The return device has at least one first pump device and one second pump device, having respective inlet valves and outlet valves. The pump devices have a delivery cycle offset from each other. An additional valve is located in every supply line of every pump device for preventing negative pressure produced in an intake phase of one of the pump devices from being applied to an inlet valve of another pump device.
