  • Patent number: 11867311
    Abstract: An electromagnetic actuator. The electromagnetic armature includes: an armature movable in an axial direction in an armature space; a magnetic coil for generating a magnetic field to move the armature; an operating element motion-coupled to the armature; and a flux-directing part, disposed at an axial end of the magnetic coil, having a recess which extends in the axial direction and in which the operating element is displaceably disposed, the flux-directing part being embodied in two parts. The flux-directing part is embodiment in two parts from a base part facing toward the armature and a top part facing away from the armature. The operating element is mounted, displaceably in the axial direction, in a first bearing point embodied on the top part and in a second bearing point embodied on the base part.
