  • Patent number: 9541215
    Abstract: An electromagnetic actuator includes: a magnetic coil, which has a coil form having a coil winding situated on it and a central clearance extending in an axial direction; an armature slidably situated in the central clearance; a terminal piece situated on an axial end of the coil form, in which an actuating element is slidably supported in the axial direction. The armature is movable by an actuation of the magnetic coil such that a force applied by the armature is transmitted to the actuating element. The actuating element is configured in two parts, including an actuating pin supported in the terminal piece and a separator fixedly connected to the actuating pin on an end section of the actuating pin protruding from the terminal piece in the direction of the armature and which is acted upon by the armature when the magnetic coil is actuated.

  • Publication number: 20120104293
    Abstract: A pressure control valve for an automatic transmission in a motor vehicle includes a housing, a valve slide which is guided in the housing and which has multiple adjacent sections, a first section having a first diameter, a second section adjacent thereto having a second diameter smaller than the first diameter, and a third section having the first diameter adjacent to the second section. An inflow pressure opening is assigned to the first section, a control pressure opening is assigned to the second section and a return flow opening is assigned to the third section. An electromagnetic actuating device acts upon the valve slide via a piston, which is guided pressure-tight in the housing.

  • Patent number: 7950413
    Abstract: An electromagnetic pressure regulating valve device for regulating a hydraulic pressure including at least one pressure regulating valve which includes a solenoid part having at least one bobbin holding an electric coil, a coil core and a movably guided armature; a valve part having at least one supply connection, one return connection, one load connection and one actuating element operated by the armature and cooperating with a valve seat; and an electronic part having at least one pressure sensor for measuring the hydraulic pressure present at the load connection. At least the pressure sensor is situated on an end of the solenoid part facing the valve part upstream from the electronic part. Positioning the pressure sensor close to the valve part may substantially reduce the filter effect of the transmission link, and the hydraulic pressure to be measured is therefore transmittable free of errors up to a much higher cutoff frequency.
