  • Electromagnetic actuator device
    Patent number: 9214267
    Abstract: An electromagnetic actuator device, comprising a coil unit, which surrounds a first yoke section of a stationary yoke unit and is activated by energizing the coil unit, and armature elements, which are guided so as to be movable relative to the yoke unit and which interact with an output-side actuating partner and are driven in order to perform an actuating movement, the armature elements interact with at least one second yoke section of the yoke unit to form an air gap lying outside of the first yoke section for a magnetic flux produced by the activated coil unit.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 15, 2012
    Date of Patent: December 15, 2015
    Assignee: ETO Magnetic GmbH
    Inventors: Raphael Bory, Jonas Boll, Daniela Haerter, Robert Steyer, Philipp Terhorst, Thomas Schiepp, Markus Laufenberg
  • Electromagnetic actuator device
    Patent number: 9117583
    Abstract: An electromagnetic actuator device, comprising a coil unit (14), which surrounds a first yoke section (13) of a stationary yoke unit and can be activated by energizing the coil unit; and armature elements (10, 12), which are guided so as to be movable relative to the yoke unit and which interact with an output-side actuating partner and which can be driven in order to perform an actuating movement. The armature elements interact with at least one second yoke section (15, 16) of the yoke unit to form an air gap (26, 28) for a magnetic flux produced by the activated coil unit.
