Abstract: A yoke is provided with a notch, notched from two points P1 and P2 on a circumference forming a sleeve-side insertion hole toward the outside of the circumference, the notch having a minimum distance between the points P1 and P2 as a width W and the distance from a straight line linking the points P1 and P2 in a direction orthogonal to the straight line as a length L. The width W of the notch is set on the basis of a target attraction force for attracting a plunger, the attraction force increasing with an increase in the width W, and the length L of the notch is greater than or equal to a prescribed length Ld where the attraction force increasing with an increase in the length L becomes constant at the target attraction force in the set width W irrespective of an increase in the length L.

Abstract: An electromagnetic valve comprises a valve body having a dividing wall which separates a first chamber and a second chamber and a through-hole formed in the dividing wall and in which a valving element is inserted, a guide member having a main body portion disposed between an outer peripheral surface of the valving element and an inner peripheral surface of the valving element and forming a gap with the inner peripheral surface of the through-hole, an insertion hole through which the valving element is inserted and which slides against the outer peripheral surface of the valving element, a flange portion provided on an one-end side of the main body portion and being in contact with the dividing wall and a tapered portion provided in the one-end side and disposed inside the first chamber. The flange portion is pushed toward the dividing wall by a pushing member.
