  • Patent number: 9053848
    Abstract: An impulse solenoid valve with at least one solenoid coil, a magnetically soft magnetic circuit which comprises a stationary yoke and a movable solenoid core, and with a permanent magnet which is accommodated in the magnetic circuit such that it sectionally interrupts the magnetic circuit, is characterized in that a first portion and a second portion of the magnetic circuit each directly contact the same on opposite sides of the permanent magnet, preferably over the full surface.

  • Patent number: 8421563
    Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement of stringed solenoid drives (1, 2, 3), particularly for solenoid valves, wherein each solenoid drive comprises a magnetic circuit with a yoke (4), moveable armature (5), and an excitation coil (6) arranged on the yoke. The magnetic circuits of neighboring solenoid drives have pre-magnetization with the same polarity and at least approximately the same strength. Due to the pre-magnetization, the magnetic potential difference between neighboring magnetic circuits is reduced. The pre-magnetization is thus carried out with the same polarity as the excitation by current flow in the excitation coil.

  • Publication number: 20100123093
    Abstract: An electromagnetic drive with a lifting armature is disclosed, in particular for a valve, which, while having small dimensions, is suitable to achieve high magnetic forces and the components of which can be freely combined with one another in a large variety of ways. This allows an adaptation to a specified structural space without specific components having to be fabricated. The same standardized components are just combined with each other differently. The drive includes a magnetic yoke with two parallel spaced yoke legs, a yoke rod extending perpendicular to and connecting the yoke legs, a yoke stud extending parallel to the yoke rod and spaced from the yoke rod, and a core plug extending coaxially with the yoke stud. The core plug is axially movable and passes through one of the yoke legs. The core plug further defines an air gap with the yoke stud.
