  • Patent number: 6803686
    Abstract: An electromechanical actuator has at least one electromagnet, an armature and a resetting device. A connector is provided, with at least one contact element, which is electro-conductively connected to the coil of the electromagnet, and which is disposed in such a way that, at least during the assembly to the actuator onto a support, it can be electrically contacted by an assembly contacting element.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 14, 2001
    Date of Patent: October 12, 2004

    Inventors: Erwin Bauer, Wolfram Bohne, Wolfgang Hundt, Hanspeter Zink
  • Patent number: 6543477
    Abstract: An electromechanical actuator has at least one electromagnet and an armature with a shank. The armature is mechanically coupled to at least one restoring device and it can move between a first bearing surface on the electromagnet and a further bearing surface. The shank is either completely hollow or it has a blind bore formed therein. A transmitter of a sensor is disposed in the cavity of the shank body.

  • Patent number: 6318312
    Abstract: A method and device for cooling an electromagnetic actuator device of an internal combustion engine valves. A fluid stream circulating in the internal combustion engine, especially a lubricating oil stream, is passed through each electromagnetic actuator device to cool the actuator. The amount of the fluid stream passed through the actuator is variable and is adjusted by a suitable valve arrangement in such a way that a critical component temperature of the actuators is not exceeded. An electrical actuator parameter, such as the current flowing through the coils of the actuator, which corresponds to the component's temperature is determined in an electronic control unit associated with the actuators, and is compared in the electronic control unit with the critical component temperature or a corresponding critical electrical parameter. The electronic control unit controls the valve arrangement to provide the required stream of cooling fluid.
