20080266038 | SOLENOID ASSEMBLY - A solenoid assembly for use in connection with a housing and valve body is provided. The assembly includes a magnetic coil, a magnetic pole piece, an operating rod, and a magnetic armature. The operating rod is slidably disposed within a portion of the pole piece and is at least in part centered relative to the pole piece. Activation of the coil provides an attraction between the armature and the pole piece. An embodiment of the assembly may additionally include one or more bearings positioned between the operating rod and the pole piece. | 10-30-2008 |

The assembly includes a magnetic coil, a magnetic pole piece, an operating rod, a magnetic armature, and at least two bearings positioned between a portion of the magnetic pole piece and a portion of the operating rod. The operating rod is slidably disposed along the bearings. The magnetic armature is at least in part centered relative to the pole piece. Activation of the coil provides an attraction between the armature and the pole piece. | 03-25-2010 |
20110148555 | LINEAR SOLENOID FOR VEHICLE - A guide of a coil device has a tongue portion, which is formed by resin integrally with the guide at a location radially outward of a slit of a yoke and axially extends toward an opening part of the yoke such that a distal end part of the tongue portion is resiliently bendable while exerting a resilient force. The tongue portion is resiliently engaged with a flange portion of a stator core upon filling of the coil device to the stator core. | 06-23-2011 |
20120212309 | ELECTROMAGNETIC SOLENOID - An electromagnetic solenoid includes first and second stators arranged at two axial end sides of a coil. The first stator includes an annular radial core part, an axial core part cylindrically extending from an inner end of the radial core part toward the second stator, and a core corner part having an outer corner surface at an intersection of the radial and axial core parts. A plunger guide includes a cylindrical sleeve inward of the stators, a flange extending radially outward from the sleeve along a side of the radial core part opposed to the coil, and a plunger-guide corner part having an inner corner surface at an intersection of the sleeve and the flange. The outer and inner corner surfaces of the core corner part and the plunger-guide corner part abut on each other in a contact portion linearly or in area along an entire circumference. | 08-23-2012 |

20090128271 | SOLENOID - A solenoid is provided with a reduced overall length, while providing the same force characteristics as the force characteristics of conventional solenoids or higher. The solenoid includes a fixed portion and a movable portion. Furthermore, the end of the movable portion includes a magnetic pole portion having at least two tapered faces. Moreover, the end of the fixed portion includes a magnetic pole portion having at least two tapered faces opposing the magnetic pole portion of the movable portion. Such a solenoid provides the force characteristics of the flat-type solenoid in a region where the gap is small, while maintaining the force characteristics of the cone-type solenoid in a region where the gap is large. | 05-21-2009 |
