Definitions

  • Fig. 13 is a top plan view of another of the parts of the EEGR valve shown by itself on an enlarged scale, namely a bearing member.
  • Fig. 20 is an enlarged view in circle 20 of Fig. 19.
  • Fig. 26 is a cross sectional view as taken in the direction of arrows 26-26 in Fig. 25.
  • Figs. 44, 45, and 46 are views of another form of clinch ring corresponding to the views of Figs. 25, 27, and 28 respectively.
  • the upper stator/solenoid coil assembly is accurately and securely located within shell 64 by virtue of the previously described press fitting of flange 198 to the side wall of shell 64 at shoulder 64b.
  • the upper and lower stator members are accurately axially positioned relative to one another by accurately controlling the axial distance between the two shoulders 64a and 64b in shell 64. Since both shoulders are in a single part, tighter tolerancing of that axial distance is made possible.
