  • Patent number: 8648680
    Abstract: An electromagnet having a pole tube, and having a coil that encompasses the pole tube and is mounted so as to be displaceable along a longitudinal axis of the pole tube, a first end face of the coil or of the housing thereof bearing on a first counter-bearing disposed at a first end portion of the pole tube, and an elastic element, which is supported on a second counter-bearing and biases the coil and/or the housing thereof against the first counter-bearing, is provided between a second end face of the coil or the housing thereof and the second counter-bearing disposed at a second end portion of the pole tube.

  • Patent number: 7151427
    Abstract: A switchgear, especially for actuating valves, includes a housing (18) and a coil body (10) disposed in the housing. A switch element is guided in the coil body. The coil body is provided with a winding (14) of a conductor (16) that is connected to a plug connector (22) via contact elements (20). At least some sections of the housing (18) and of the plug connector (22) are enclosed by a plastic compound (24). Sealing devices (40) seal off the interior (42) of the switchgear from the surroundings (44). At least one of the sealing devices (40) is configured as a sealing web (48) of a meltable material. The sealing web (48) is disposed on the bottom face (50) of a plug plate (26) of the plug connector (22) which faces the housing (18).

  • Patent number: 6848919
    Abstract: According to the invention, the coil of a magnet coil arrangement has a coil body which comprises a winding (14) and is extruded with plastic (17). A plug-in base with contact connectors is formed on the coil, wherein one of the connectors is used for connection of the grounding conductor (18). A metallic housing is placed over the coil. Connection of said metallic housing to the contact connector associated to the grounding conductor is achieved by means of a connection element which is guided through a recess of the plug-in base. A sealing element (42) disposed between the connection element and the recess prevents penetration of a fluid from a region between the metallic housing and the coil, into the region where a connector is connected to the contact connectors.

  • Patent number: 6784778
    Abstract: In a magnet coil arrangement having a wound coil former and having a metal housing surrounding the wound coil former, contact tabs are held in a plug-in base, one of which serves as a protective conductor connection. The contact tab serving as a protective conductor connection is held on the metal housing by a metallic connecting part. The free spaces between the wound coil former, the metal housing and the plug-in base are encapsulated with plastic. At the interfaces between the metal parts and plastic, moisture can enter the magnet coil arrangement. In order to prevent this moisture from getting into the connecting space, in which electric feed lines coming from the outside are connected to the contact tabs, in the area in which the connecting part engages in the contact tab, the contact tab serving as a protective conductor connection is arranged inside the plug-in base.
