Die Erfindung betrifft eine elektromagnetische Stellvorrichtung, insbesondere eine Zugvorrichtung, gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1, mit einer stationär angeordneten Spuleneinrichtung, mit einem bewegbar geführten, einen Stellabschnitt ausbildenden Anker, insbesondere Zuganker, der als Reaktion auf ein Bestromen der Spuleneinrichtung axial entlang einer Verstellachse verstellbar ist, sowie mit einem einstückigen, den Anker aufnehmenden, topfförmigen, einen Kernabschnitt sowie einen Jochabschnitt aufweisenden Jochkernelement mit einem sich senkrecht zur Verstellachse erstreckenden Jochkernboden und einem sich senkrecht zum Jochkernboden entlang der Verstellachse erstreckenden Jochkernmantel, in dem ein längsschnittlicher, dickenreduzierter Übergangsbereich zwischen dem Kernabschnitt und dem Jochabschnitt realisiert, wobei in einer, bevorzugt zentrischen, Führungsstiftaussparung im Jochkernboden ein Führungsstift für den Anker fixiert, insbesondere eingepresst, ist, der axial in eine, bevorzugt zentrische, Führungsöffnung des Ankers hineinragt und relativ zu dem der Anker bei seiner Verstellbewegung verstellbar ist.The invention relates to an electromagnetic actuating device, in particular a traction device, with a stationary coil device, with a movably guided armature forming an actuating section, in particular tie rod, which can be adjusted axially along an adjustment axis in response to energization of the coil device is, as well as with a one-piece, the anchor-receiving, pot-shaped yoke core element having a core section and a yoke section with a yoke core bottom extending perpendicular to the adjustment axis and a yoke core jacket extending perpendicular to the yoke core bottom along the adjustment axis, in which a longitudinal, reduced-thickness transition area between the core section and the yoke section, a guide pin for the armature being fixed, in particular pressed in, in a, preferably central, guide pin recess in the yoke core bottom, said guide pin being axially in one e, preferably central, guide opening of the armature protrudes and relative to which the armature is adjustable during its adjustment movement.

Eine derartige Stellvorrichtung ist in der EP2528070 A2 beschrieben. Solche wie beispielsweise in der DE 10 2006 015 233 B4 der Anmelderin beschriebene Stellvorrichtungen sind im Hinblick auf Gehäuse-, Kern-, Joch- und Ankergeometrie an die jeweilige Stellaufgabe angepasst und optimiert. Die in der vorgenannten Druckschrift beschriebene Stellvorrichtung ist aufgrund des Vorsehens eines einteiligen Jochkernelementes großserientauglich und automatisiert fertigbar, im Gegensatz zu den beispielsweise in der DE 198 82 903 T1 oder der DE 202 18 782 U1 beschriebenen Stellvorrichtung, bei denen separate Kern- und Jochelemente vorgesehen sind.Such an actuator is in the EP2528070 A2 described. Such as in the DE 10 2006 015 233 B4 The actuating devices described by the applicant are adapted and optimized to the respective actuating task with regard to the housing, core, yoke and anchor geometry. The actuating device described in the aforementioned publication is suitable for mass production and can be manufactured automatically due to the provision of a one-piece yoke core element, in contrast to the example in FIG DE 198 82 903 T1 or the DE 202 18 782 U1 described adjusting device in which separate core and yoke elements are provided.

Trotz der grundsätzlich guten Serienfertigbarkeit der gattungsgemäßen, ein einteiliges Jochkernelement aufweisenden Stellvorrichtung, bestehen Bestrebungen, die Großserientauglichkeit weiter zu verbessern, insbesondere bei elektromagnetischen Stellvorrichtungen, die im Gegensatz zu der in der DE 10 2006 015 233 B4 beschriebenen Stellvorrichtung nicht als Druckstellvorrichtungen ausgebildet sind sondern als einen Zuganker aufweisende Zugvorrichtungen.Despite the basically good series producibility of the generic actuator having a one-piece yoke core element, efforts are being made to further improve the suitability for large-scale production, in particular in the case of electromagnetic actuators which, in contrast to the in the DE 10 2006 015 233 B4 described adjusting device are not designed as pressure adjusting devices but as a pulling device having tie rods.

Ausgehend von dem vorgenannten Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine großserientaugliche elektromagnetische Stellvorrichtung anzugeben, die sich durch eine gute automatisierbare Fertigbarkeit bei gleichzeitig minimiertem Bauraum auszeichnet. Dabei soll die elektromagnetische Stellvorrichtung in einer bevorzugten Variante als Zugvorrichtung ausgebildet sein, bei der der dann einen Zuganker bildende Anker bei Bestromung der Spuleneinrichtung in Richtung Jochkernboden verstellt wird. Noch weiter bevorzugt soll die elektromagnetische Stellvorrichtung im Rahmen eines Stellsystems auch einsetzbar sein für Anwendungen, bei denen der Anker, insbesondere durch den Stellpartner mit einem Drehmoment beaufschlagt wird, welches bestrebt ist den Anker um seine Verstellachse, insbesondere mit hoher Drehzahl zu verdrehen.Proceeding from the aforementioned prior art, the invention is therefore based on the object of specifying a large-volume electromagnetic actuating device which is characterized by good automatability, while at the same time minimizing installation space. In a preferred variant, the electromagnetic adjusting device is to be designed as a pulling device, in which the armature then forming a tie rod is adjusted in the direction of the yoke core base when the coil device is energized. Even more preferably, the electromagnetic actuating device should also be usable in the context of an actuating system for applications in which the armature, in particular by the actuating partner, is subjected to a torque which tends to rotate the armature about its adjustment axis, in particular at high speed.

Diese Aufgabe wird hinsichtlich der elektromagnetischen Stellvorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst, d.h. bei einer gattungsgemäßen Stellvorrichtung dadurch, dass benachbart zu dem Führungsstift ein sich parallel zu dem Führungsstift erstreckender Verdrehsicherungsstift angeordnet und in einer Verdrehsicherungsstiftaussparung im Jochkernboden fixiert, insbesondere eingepresst, ist.This object is achieved with regard to the electromagnetic actuating device with the features of claim 1, i.e. in the case of a generic actuating device in that an anti-rotation pin extending parallel to the guide pin is arranged adjacent to the guide pin and fixed, in particular pressed, in an anti-rotation pin recess in the yoke core base.

Bei der Realisierung der erfindungsgemäßen Stellvorrichtung als Zugvorrichtung kann der Anker auch auf unterschiedliche Arten in eine Richtung von dem Jochkernboden weg bewegt werden, beispielsweise durch eine Umpolung der Bestromung der Spuleneinrichtung und/oder durch Federkraftbelastung einer fakultativ vorsehbaren Rückschlagfeder und/oder durch eine vom Stellpartner aufgebrachte Zugkraft.When realizing the actuating device according to the invention as a pulling device, the armature can also be moved in different ways in one direction away from the yoke core bottom, for example by reversing the polarity of the current supply to the coil device and / or by spring force loading an optionally provided check spring and / or by a tensile force applied by the actuating partner.

Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.Advantageous developments of the invention are specified in the subclaims.

In erfindungsgemäß vorteilhafter Weise werden eine Vielzahl von Funktionalitäten der Stellvorrichtung in einer multifunktionalen Baugruppe realisiert, deren Dreh- und Angelpunkt das einteilige Jochkernelement ist. So ist gemäß der Erfindung vorgesehen, dass dem Jochkernelement neben einer magnetischen Flussleitfunktion und einer Flusseinkoppelfunktion des Kernabschnittes zum Einkoppeln des magnetischen Flusses in den Anker auch eine Trägerfunktion bzw. Haltefunktion zum Halten eines Führungsstiftes für den Anker zukommt, indem nämlich der sich senkrecht zur Verstellachse erstreckende und vorzugsweise gleichzeitig einen Anschlag zur Begrenzung der axialen Verstellbewegung des Ankers bildende Jochkernboden eine, insbesondere zentrische Führungsstiftaussparung aufweist, innerhalb welcher ein Führungsstift, vorzugsweise durch Einpressen fixiert ist, der bei seiner axialen Verstellbewegung, insbesondere über die gesamte maximale Verstellstrecke in eine korrespondierende, bevorzugt zentrische Führungsöffnung des Ankers hineinragt und sich parallel zur Längserstreckung des hülsenförmigen Jochabschnitts erstreckt.In an advantageous manner according to the invention, a large number of functionalities of the actuating device are realized in a multifunctional assembly, the fulcrum of which is the one-piece yoke core element. According to the invention, it is provided that the yoke core element, in addition to a magnetic flux guiding function and a flux coupling function of the core section for coupling the magnetic flux into the armature, also has a carrier function or holding function for holding a guide pin for the armature, namely that which extends perpendicular to the adjustment axis and preferably at the same time a stop to limit the axial adjustment movement of the armature-forming yoke core has a, in particular central, guide pin recess, within which a guide pin is fixed, preferably by pressing, which during its axial adjustment movement, in particular over the entire maximum adjustment distance, into a corresponding, preferably centric Guide opening of the armature protrudes and extends parallel to the longitudinal extent of the sleeve-shaped yoke section.

Als zusätzliche Funktionalität des einteiligen Jochkernelementes ist in Weiterbildung der Erfindung vorgesehen, dass dieses, insbesondere an seinem Innenumfang, weiter bevorzugt am Innenumfang des axial benachbart zum Kernabschnitt angeordneten Jochabschnitts eine Träger- bzw. Haltefläche für ein Gleitlager anbietet, welches beispielsweise durch Einpressen und/oder Verkleben und/oder Verschweißen und/oder auf sonstige Weise an dem Jochkernelement fixiert ist und welches den Anker bei seiner axialen Verstellbewegung an seinem Außenumfang führt.As an additional functionality of the one-piece yoke core element, it is provided in a further development of the invention that this, in particular on its inner circumference, more preferably on the inner circumference of the yoke section arranged axially adjacent to the core section, offers a support or holding surface for a slide bearing, which, for example, by pressing and / or Gluing and / or welding and / or is otherwise fixed to the yoke core element and which guides the armature on its outer circumference during its axial adjustment movement.

Zusammengefasst ist also weiterbildungsgemäß vorgesehen, dass wesentliche Führungsfunktionen für den, bevorzugt als Zuganker ausgeführten bzw. angesteuerten Anker an dem Jochkernelement konzentriert sind, welches unmittelbarer Träger ist für einen Führungsstift zum Führen des Ankers an seinem Innenumfang sowie Träger ist für ein Gleitlager zum Führen des Ankers an seinem Außenumfang.In summary, it is provided according to the further development that essential guide functions for the anchor, which is preferably designed or controlled as a tie rod, are concentrated on the yoke core element, which is the direct carrier for a guide pin for guiding the anchor on its inner circumference and carrier for a slide bearing for guiding the anchor on its outer circumference.

Durch den erfindungsgemäßen Einsatz des einteiligen Jochkernelementes kommt es im Übergangsbereich zwischen Kern und Joch zu einem magnetischen Kurzschluss, der in diesem Übergangsbereich bevorzugt bereits bei geringen Spulenströmen eine magnetische Sättigung erreichen lässt, wodurch sich negative Auswirkungen auf Effizienz und Wirkungsgrad, auf der einteiligen Ausbildung von Joch und Kern in Grenzen halten. Dieser Effekt kann weiter dadurch abgemindert werden, dass gemäß einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung der Erfindung die elektromagnetische Stellvorrichtung die Wirkung eines gegen eine Federwirkung arbeitenden Proportionalmagneten erhält, so dass kurzschlussbedingte Verluste außerhalb der Betriebskernlinie im Kraft-/Hubdiagramm der Vorrichtung liegen und sich damit nicht signifikant auswirken.The use of the one-piece yoke core element according to the invention results in a magnetic short circuit in the transition area between the core and the yoke, which in this transition area can preferably achieve magnetic saturation even at low coil currents, which has negative effects on efficiency and efficiency on the one-piece formation of the yoke and keep core within limits. This effect can be further reduced by the fact that, according to a preferred development of the invention, the electromagnetic actuating device receives the effect of a proportional magnet working against a spring effect, so that short-circuit-related losses lie outside the operating core line in the force / stroke diagram of the device and therefore have no significant effect.

Insgesamt ist es von besonderem Vorteil, wenn sich der Kernabschnitt und/oder der Jochabschnitt längsschnittlich in ihrer/seiner Dicke in Richtung auf den Übergangsbereich konusförmig verjüngen/verjüngt und so eingerichtet sind/ist, dass eine Kraft-Weg-Kennlinie der Stellvorrichtung einen linearen Verlauf über den Hub bei konstantem Spulenstrom zeigt.Overall, it is of particular advantage if the core section and / or the yoke section taper / taper longitudinally in their thickness in the direction of the transition region and are set up such that a force-displacement characteristic of the adjusting device is linear over the stroke with constant coil current.

Als besonders vorteilhaft hat es sich dabei herausgestellt, wenn die Führungsstiftaussparung im Jochkernboden als axiale Durchgangsöffnung, insbesondere Durchgangsbohrung ausgeführt ist, die noch weiter bevorzugt endseitig, d.h. auf der von dem Anker abgewandten Axialseite, von dem Führungsstift verschlossen ist. Wie später noch erläutert werden wird, kann sich in axialer Richtung, insbesondere am Boden, in dieser verschlossenen Öffnung oder bei einer alternativen Ausführungsform am Boden einer Sacklochöffnung ein zusammen mit dem Anker verstellbares, bevorzugt elastomeres Anschlagdämpfungselement abstützen, mit welchem sich der Anker in einer in Richtung Kernabschnitt verstellten Anschlagposition, insbesondere stirnseitig am Führungsstift abstützt. Ebenso ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Führungsöffnung im Anker ebenfalls als Durchgangsöffnung ausgebildet ist, zum einen wegen einer vereinfachten Fertigbarkeit und zum anderen zum weiterbildungsgemäßen Fixieren eines Stößels bzw. Stößelabschnitts des Ankers an einem die Führungsöffnung aufweisenden, bevorzugt hülsenförmigen, Führungsabschnitt, welcher dann an seinem Außenumfang an dem Gleitlager (Gleitlagerbuchse) geführt ist.It has been found to be particularly advantageous if the guide pin recess in the yoke core base is designed as an axial through opening, in particular a through hole, which is more preferably closed at the end, ie on the axial side facing away from the armature, by the guide pin. As will be explained later , an axially adjustable, preferably elastomeric stop damping element can be supported in the axial direction, in particular on the bottom, in this closed opening or, in an alternative embodiment, on the bottom of a blind hole opening, with which the anchor is supported in a stop position adjusted in the direction of the core section, is supported in particular on the end face on the guide pin. It is also advantageous if the guide opening in the armature is also designed as a through-opening, on the one hand because of a simpler manufacture and on the other hand for fixing a plunger or plunger section of the armature to a preferably sleeve-shaped guide section which has the guide opening and which is then on its side Outer circumference is guided on the plain bearing (plain bearing bush).

Durch die Zusammenführung der vorgenannten, mindestens zwei Lagerfunktionalitäten im Jochkernelement und der vorzugsweisen mittelbaren oder unmittelbaren Endanschlagfunktion des Jochkernbodens können aufwendige Geometrien, die bei einer voneinander unabhängigen Realisierung der Funktionalitäten fertigungstechnisch notwendig wären verzichtet werden und zudem kann Bauraum eingespart werden.By combining the above-mentioned, at least two bearing functionalities in the yoke core element and the preferred indirect or direct end stop function of the yoke core base, complex geometries that would be necessary in terms of production if the functionalities were implemented independently of one another can be dispensed with and installation space can also be saved.

Besonders zweckmäßig ist es nun, wenn das Jochkernelement neben den zwei Lagerfunktionalitäten eine weitere Funktionalität übernimmt und als Halterung für einen Verdrehsicherungsstift dient, der benachbart zu einer Längsmittelachse des Ankers angeordnet ist und der sich parallel zum Führungsstift in eine Verdrehsicherungsstiftaussparung hineinerstreckt. Dieser Verdrehsicherungsstift ist gemäß der Erfindung (benachbart zum Führungsstift, bevorzugt beabstandet zu diesem) im Jochkernboden fixiert, insbesondere in einer Verdrehsicherungsstiftaussparung, wobei es besonders bevorzugt ist den Verdrehsicherungsstift in diese einzupressen, wobei zusätzlich oder alternativ auch ein Schweißen und/oder Verkleben realisierbar ist. Besonders zweckmäßig ist es die Verdrehsicherungsstiftaussparung als Durchgangsbohrung auszubilden, die endseitig auf der vom Anker abgewandten Seite von dem Verdrehsicherungsstift verschlossen ist. Bevorzugt ist auch die Verdrehsicherungsstiftöffnung im Anker, in die der Verdrehsicherungsstift bei der Verstellbewegung des Ankers, insbesondere über seinen gesamten axialen Verstellweg eingreift aus fertigungstechnischen Gründen als Durchgangsöffnung realisiert. Das weiterbildungsgemäße Vorsehen eines Verdrehsicherungsstiftes ermöglicht den Einsatz der elektromagnetischen Stellvorrichtung im Rahmen von Stellsystemen, bei denen der Anker mit einem Drehmoment beaufschlagt wird, welches bestrebt ist den Anker um seine vorzugsweise mit seiner Längsmittelachse zusammenfallenden Verstellachse zu verdrehen. Insbesondere wenn es sich hierbei um sehr hohe Drehzahlen handelt, wie diese beispielsweise beim Einsatz der elektromagnetischen Stellvorrichtung im Zusammenhang mit Verbrennungsmotoren und/oder Elektromotoren von Kraftfahrzeugen auftreten, würde der Verzicht auf eine Verdrehsicherung zu starken Belastungen und zu einem großen Verschleiß der Stellvorrichtung führen. Die Realisierung der Verdrehsicherung als Verdrehsicherungsstift und die Verankerung des Verdrehsicherungsstiftes im einteiligen Jochkernelement, genauer im Jochkernboden führt zu einer praktischen, großserientauglichen und einfach fertigbaren Vorrichtung.It is particularly expedient if the yoke core element takes on additional functionality in addition to the two bearing functionalities and serves as a holder for an anti-rotation pin, which is arranged adjacent to a longitudinal central axis of the armature and which extends parallel to the guide pin into an anti-rotation pin recess. This anti-rotation pin is fixed according to the invention (adjacent to the guide pin, preferably at a distance from it) in the yoke core base, in particular in an anti-rotation pin recess, it being particularly preferred to press the anti-rotation pin into it. wherein, in addition or as an alternative, welding and / or gluing can also be implemented. It is particularly expedient to design the anti-rotation pin recess as a through hole which is closed at the end on the side facing away from the anchor by the anti-rotation pin. The anti-rotation pin opening in the armature, into which the anti-rotation pin engages during the adjustment movement of the armature, in particular over its entire axial adjustment path, is also realized as a through opening for manufacturing reasons. The further provision of an anti-rotation pin enables the use of the electromagnetic actuating device in the context of actuating systems in which the armature is subjected to a torque which tends to rotate the armature about its adjusting axis, which preferably coincides with its longitudinal central axis. In particular, if the speeds involved are very high, as occurs, for example, when using the electromagnetic actuating device in connection with internal combustion engines and / or electric motors of motor vehicles, the absence of an anti-rotation device would lead to heavy loads and great wear on the actuating device. The realization of the anti-twist device as an anti-twist pin and the anchoring of the anti-twist pin in the one-piece yoke core element, more precisely in the yoke core bottom, leads to a practical, mass-production-capable and easily manufactured device.

Wie erwähnt ist es besonders zweckmäßig, wenn der Jochkernboden einen Axialanschlag (Endanschlag) für den Anker bildet. Alternativ kann der Jochkernabschnitt eine Abstützfläche für ein Anschlagdämpfungselement bilden, welches in Weiterbildung der Erfindung in dem von dem Jochkernelement begrenzten Innenraum zwischen Ankerstirnseite und Jochkernboden fakultativ angeordnet werden kann.As mentioned, it is particularly expedient if the yoke core bottom forms an axial stop (end stop) for the armature. Alternatively, the yoke core section can form a support surface for a stop damping element which, in a further development of the invention, can optionally be arranged in the interior space delimited by the yoke core element between the anchor end face and the yoke core base.

Bei einer alternativen Ausführungsform bildet der Jochkernboden keinen Axialanschlag (Endanschlag) für den Anker, sondern diese Axialanschlagfunktion wird bei dieser alternativen Ausführungsform von dem Führungsstift übernommen, der dann entsprechend so lang in axialer Richtung dimensioniert ist, dass sich der Anker in einer Endanschlagsposition unmittelbar oder bevorzugt mittelbar über ein, bevorzugt elastomeres, Anschlagdämpfungselement an dem Führungsstift abstützen kann. Dieses Anschlagdämpfungselement ist bevorzugt zusammen mit dem Anker hin und her verstellbar und hierzu bevorzugt am Anker festgelegt. Dies kann beispielsweise dadurch realisiert werden, dass das Anschlagdämpfungselement in die Führungsöffnung zur Aufnahme des Führungsstiftes eingepresst ist. Die Führungsöffnung kann dabei als Sacklochbohrung ausgeführt werden, wobei es dann vorteilhaft ist, wenn sich das Anschlagdämpfungselement axial am Sacklochboden abstützt. Bei einer alternativen Ausführungsform, bei der die Führungsöffnung nicht als Sacklochbohrung ausgeführt ist, sondern als endseitig von einem Stößelabschnitt verschlossene Durchgangsöffnung bei einer mehrteiligen, später noch zu erläuternden Ankerausführung, stützt sich das Anschlagdämpfungselement bevorzugt axial an einer Stirnseite des in der Durchgangsöffnung aufgenommenen Stößelabschnittes axial ab. Grundsätzlich ist es unabhängig von der Realisierung der Führungsöffnung als, insbesondere mittels eines Stößelabschnittes verschlossene Durchgangsöffnung oder als endseitig geschlossene Sacklochöffnung möglich, zusätzlich oder alternativ das Anschlagdämpfungselement axial an einer Ringschulter oder dergleichen Abstützfläche der Führungsöffnung abzustützen.In an alternative embodiment, the yoke core bottom does not form an axial stop (end stop) for the armature, but this axial stop function is taken over by the guide pin in this alternative embodiment, which is then dimensioned in the axial direction so long that the armature immediately or preferably in an end stop position can be supported indirectly via a, preferably elastomeric, stop damping element on the guide pin. This stop damping element is preferably adjustable back and forth together with the armature and is preferably fixed to the armature for this purpose. This can be achieved, for example, in that the stop damping element is pressed into the guide opening for receiving the guide pin. The guide opening can be designed as a blind hole, it being advantageous if the stop damping element is supported axially on the bottom of the blind hole. In an alternative embodiment, in which the guide opening is not designed as a blind hole, but rather as a through opening closed at the end by a plunger section in a multi-part anchor design, which will be explained later, the stop damping element is preferably axially supported on an end face of the plunger section received in the through opening . Basically, regardless of the realization of the guide opening as a through opening, in particular closed by means of a tappet section, or as a blind hole closed at the end, it is additionally or alternatively possible to support the stop damping element axially on an annular shoulder or similar supporting surface of the guide opening.

Zusätzlich oder alternativ zu einem wie zuvor beschrieben in der Führungsöffnung angeordneten Anschlagdämpfungselement kann mindestens ein Anschlagdämpfungselement auf der von der Führungsstiftaussparung im Jochkernboden abgewandten Stirnseite des Ankers vorgesehen werden, wobei bevorzugt ein solches Anschlagdämpfungselement am Anker festgelegt, insbesondere in einer stirnseitigen Öffnung eingepresst ist, damit sich der Anker über dieses Anschlagdämpfungselement in einer Endanschlagsposition auf der vom Jochkernboden abgewandten Axialseite, insbesondere gehäuseseitig, abstützen kann. Das Vorsehen von Anschlagdämpfungselementen auf beiden Axialseiten des Ankers führt zu einer optimierten Geräuschsminimierung.In addition or as an alternative to a stop damping element arranged in the guide opening as described above, at least one stop damping element can be provided on the end face of the armature facing away from the guide pin recess in the yoke core bottom, preferably such a stop damping element on the armature is fixed, in particular pressed into an end opening, so that the armature can be supported via this stop damping element in an end stop position on the axial side facing away from the yoke core bottom, in particular on the housing side. The provision of stop damping elements on both axial sides of the armature leads to optimized noise minimization.

Auch ist es möglich, insbesondere an Stelle des Vorsehens eines Anschlagdämpfungselementes in der Führungsöffnung ein Anschlagdämpfungselement benachbart zur Führungsöffnung, insbesondere am Anker festgelegt, anzuordnen, um den Anker in einer jochkernbodenseitigen Endanschlagposition über das Anschlagdämpfungselement am Jochkernboden abzustützen. Auch ist eine lose Anordnung eines Anschlagdämpfungselementes zwischen Anker und einer feststehenden Komponente der Stellvorrichtung möglich. Ebenso ist es realisierbar, ein Anschlagdämpfungselement nicht am Anker, sondern an einem feststehenden Bauteil, insbesondere eingepresst in eine Bauteilöffnung, insbesondere im Jochkernboden festzulegen.It is also possible, particularly in place of the provision of a stop damping element in the guide opening, to arrange a stop damping element adjacent to the guide opening, in particular fixed to the armature, in order to support the armature in an end stop position on the yoke core bottom side via the stop damping element on the yoke core bottom. A loose arrangement of a stop damping element between the anchor and a fixed component of the actuating device is also possible. It is also feasible to fix a stop damping element not to the anchor, but to a fixed component, in particular pressed into a component opening, in particular in the yoke core base.

Besonders bevorzugt ist eine Ausführungsform, bei der das einteilige Jochkernelement noch eine zusätzliche Funktionalität erhält, nämlich in dem es als Halterung bzw. Axialsicherung für ein Ringscheibenelement dient, welches in Weiterbildung der Erfindung in einer Innenumfangsnut des Jochkernelementes fixiert ist und welches von dem Anker durchsetzt ist.An embodiment is particularly preferred in which the one-piece yoke core element is given additional functionality, namely in that it serves as a holder or axial securing device for an annular disk element which, in a development of the invention, is fixed in an inner circumferential groove of the yoke core element and which is penetrated by the armature .

Das Ringscheibenelement kann gemäß einer ersten Alternative unmittelbar selbst als ein dem Jochkernboden axial gegenüberliegendes (unmittelbares) Endanschlagselement dienen oder alternativ als Träger (unmittelbares Endanschlagelement) für ein fakultatives Dämpfungselement zum Dämpfen des Axialanschlages. Besonders bevorzugt ist es, wenn das Ringscheibenelement in der vorerwähnten Innenumfangsnut des Jochkernelementes durch axiales Verspannen festgelegt, d.h. axial gesichert ist, was dadurch realisiert ist, dass das Ringscheibenelement zum Einsetzen elastisch in radialer Richtung spannbar und dann in radialer Richtung nach außen entspannbar ist, um in die Innenumfangsnut des Jochkernelementes von radial innen nach radial außen einzuschnappen. Diese Funktionalität ist insbesondere dadurch realisierbar, dass das Ringscheibenelement in Weiterbildung der Erfindung als Sprengringscheibe ausgebildet ist, und zwar aus einem, bevorzugt den magnetischen Fluss nicht oder schlecht leitenden Material, ganz besonders bevorzugt aus Bronze. In der fixierten Position kann gemäß einer ersten Alternative das Ringscheibenelement entspannt in der Ringnut aufgenommen sein oder alternativ unter einer Rastfederspannung in radialer Richtung stehend.According to a first alternative, the annular disk element can itself serve directly as an (immediate) end stop element axially opposite the yoke core base or alternatively as a carrier (immediate end stop element) for an optional damping element for damping the axial stop. It is particularly preferred if that Annular disk element in the aforementioned inner circumferential groove of the yoke core element is fixed by axial bracing, that is to say axially secured, which is realized in that the annular disk element can be elastically tensioned in the radial direction for insertion and then can be relaxed outward in the radial direction in order to radially into the inner circumferential groove of the yoke core element to snap inside radially outside. This functionality can be realized in particular in that the ring disk element in a further development of the invention is designed as a snap ring disk, namely from a material which preferably does not or poorly conducts the magnetic flux, very particularly preferably bronze. In the fixed position, according to a first alternative, the annular disk element can be accommodated in the annular groove in a relaxed manner or, alternatively, can be under a detent spring tension in the radial direction.

Insbesondere bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Stellvorrichtung, bei der neben dem axialen Führungsstift ein axialer Verdrehsicherungsstift vorgesehen ist ist es zweckmäßig, wenn der Anker in seinem, vorzugsweise stößelförmigen Stellabschnitt ein, bevorzugt als Kugellager ausgebildetes, Wälzlager trägt (auf dem sich eine Komponente des Stellpartners relativ zu dem drehfest angeordneten Anker, bevorzugt mit hoher Drehzahl, beispielsweise von über 1000U/min abwälzt).In particular, in a preferred embodiment of the actuating device, in which an axial anti-rotation pin is provided in addition to the axial guide pin, it is expedient if the armature in its, preferably plunger-shaped actuating section carries a roller bearing, preferably designed as a ball bearing (on which a component of the actuating partner is relative) to the non-rotatably arranged armature, preferably at high speeds, for example at more than 1000 rpm).

Wie bereits eingangs angedeutet ist es neben einer grundsätzlich denkbaren einteiligen Ausbildung des Ankers möglich und bevorzugt, den Anker mehrteilig auszubilden, wobei dieser dann bevorzugt einen die, vorzugsweise als Durchgangsöffnung ausgebildete Führungsöffnung aufweisenden, bevorzugt hülsenförmigen, Führungsabschnitt aufweist, an dem ein den Stellabschnitt aufweisender bzw. bildender, ein- oder mehrteiliger, vorzugsweise einen geringeren Durchmesser als der Führungsabschnitt aufweisende, Stößelabschnitt festgelegt ist, wobei es besonders zweckmäßig ist, wenn der Stößelabschnitt, beispielsweise durch Einpressen, abschnittsweise in der Führungsöffnung fixierend aufgenommen ist.As already indicated at the beginning, in addition to a basically conceivable one-piece design of the armature, it is possible and preferred to form the armature in several parts, in which case it then preferably has a preferably sleeve-shaped guide section which has the guide opening, preferably in the form of a through-opening, on which a control section which has or adjusts the adjusting section forming, one-part or multi-part, preferably a smaller diameter than the guide section having plunger section, it being particularly expedient is when the plunger section is received in sections in the guide opening, for example by pressing.

Besonders bevorzugt ist es, wenn das Jochkernelement und die Spuleneinrichtung, die das Jochkernelement zumindest abschnittsweise radial außen umschließt, in einem gemeinsamen, flussleitenden Gehäuse angeordnet sind, welches für die Flussrückführung dient. Bevorzugt ist das Gehäuse auf der dem Kernabschnitt axial gegenüberliegenden Seite über ein Jochscheibe mit dem Jochabschnitt des Jochkernelementes verbunden, wobei die Jochscheibe bevorzugt das Jochkernelement axial im Gehäuse sichert.It is particularly preferred if the yoke core element and the coil device, which at least partially encloses the yoke core element radially on the outside, are arranged in a common, flux-conducting housing, which is used for the return flow. The housing is preferably connected on the side axially opposite the core section via a yoke disk to the yoke section of the yoke core element, the yoke disk preferably securing the yoke core element axially in the housing.

Weiter optimiert werden kann die Lagerung des Ankers gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung, bei welcher sich der Anker über ein Gleitlager am Führungsstift abstützt, wobei dieses (innere) Gleitlager hierzu bevorzugt in der Führungsöffnung des Ankers angeordnet, insbesondere in diese eingepresst ist. Bevorzugt ist dieses innere Gleitlager axial beabstandet von dem fakultativen, jedoch bevorzugt vorgesehenen Gleitlager (äußeres Gleitlager) zur Führung des Ankers an seinem Außenumfang, wobei dieses äußere Gleitlager bevorzugt, wie erwähnt, an dem Jochkernelement, insbesondere am Innenumfang des Jochkernelementes festgelegt, insbesondere eingepresst ist.The storage of the armature can be further optimized according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, in which the armature is supported on the guide pin via a slide bearing, this (inner) slide bearing preferably being arranged in the guide opening of the armature, in particular being pressed into this. This inner plain bearing is preferably axially spaced from the optional, but preferably provided, plain bearing (outer plain bearing) for guiding the armature on its outer circumference, this outer plain bearing preferably being, as mentioned, fixed, in particular pressed in, on the yoke core element, in particular on the inner circumference of the yoke core element .

Die Erfindung führt auch auf ein Stellsystem, umfassend eine nach dem Konzept der Erfindung ausgebildete elektromagnetische Stellvorrichtung sowie einen Stellpartner, der vorzugsweise in den Anker ein Drehmoment um die Verstellachse einleitend ausgebildet ist, insbesondere über ein am Anker festgelegtes Wälzlager.The invention also leads to an actuating system comprising an electromagnetic actuating device designed according to the concept of the invention and an actuating partner which is preferably designed to introduce a torque about the adjusting axis into the armature, in particular via a roller bearing fixed to the armature.

Weitere Vorteile, Merkmale und Einzelheiten der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung bevorzugter Ausführungsbeispiele sowie anhand der Zeichnungen.Further advantages, features and details of the invention result from the following description of preferred exemplary embodiments and from the drawings.

In den Figuren sind gleiche Elemente und Elemente mit der gleichen Funktion mit den gleichen Bezugszeichen gekennzeichnet.In the figures, the same elements and elements with the same function are identified by the same reference symbols.

In Fig. 1 ist eine nach dem Konzept der Erfindung ausgebildete elektromagnetische Stellvorrichtung 1 gezeigt; diese umfasst einen zweiteiligen Anker 2, der innerhalb eines einteiligen Jochkernelementes 3, welches generell bevorzugt als rotationssymmetrisches Drehteil ausgebildet ist, axial verstellbar entlang einer Verstellachse V angeordnet ist.In Fig. 1 an electromagnetic actuating device 1 designed according to the concept of the invention is shown; this comprises a two-part armature 2, which is arranged axially adjustable along an adjustment axis V within a one-part yoke core element 3, which is generally preferably designed as a rotationally symmetrical rotating part.

Das Jochkernelement 3 umfasst einen einen Jochkernboden 4 aufweisenden Kernabschnitt 5 zum Einkoppeln des magnetischen Flusses in den Anker sowie einen im Wesentlichen hülsenförmigen Jochabschnitt 6, weleher sich parallel zur Verstellachse V erstreckt und den Anker 2 radial außen Außenumfang umschließt.The yoke core element 3 comprises a core section 5, which has a yoke core base 4, for coupling the magnetic flux into the armature, and an essentially sleeve-shaped yoke section 6 extends parallel to the adjustment axis V and encloses the armature 2 radially outside the outer circumference.

Neben dem Jochkernboden 4 umfasst der Kernabschnitt 5 einen hülsenförmigen Konusabschnitt 7, der einen Axialabschnitt eines dickenreduzierten längsschnittlichen Übergangsbereichs 8 zwischen Kernabschnitt 5 und Jochabschnitt 6 bildet. Zu erkennen ist, dass sich eine Spuleneinrichtung 9 radial außen um den Übergangsbereich 8 herum erstreckt.In addition to the yoke core base 4, the core section 5 comprises a sleeve-shaped cone section 7, which forms an axial section of a reduced-thickness longitudinal section 8 between the core section 5 and the yoke section 6. It can be seen that a coil device 9 extends radially on the outside around the transition region 8.

Im konkreten Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Stellvorrichtung 1 als Zugvorrichtung ausgebildet und der Anker 2 hat die Funktion eines Zugankers, so dass bei Bestromung der Spuleneinrichtung 9 der Anker 2 entlang der Verstellachse V in Richtung Jochkernboden verstellt wird. Dieser bildet bei dem konkreten Ausführungsbeispiel einen unmittelbaren axialen Endanschlag zur Begrenzung der axialen Verstellbewegung.In the specific exemplary embodiment, the adjusting device 1 is designed as a pulling device and the armature 2 has the function of a pulling armature, so that when the coil device 9 is energized, the armature 2 is adjusted along the adjusting axis V in the direction of the yoke core bottom. In the specific embodiment, this forms a direct axial end stop to limit the axial adjustment movement.

Bevorzugt ist zum Verstellen des Ankers 2 in die entgegengesetzte Axialrichtung (Stellrichtung) eine nicht gezeigte Rückstellfeder vorgesehen, die sich stirnseitig am Anker 2 abstützen kann.To reset the armature 2 in the opposite axial direction (adjusting direction), a return spring (not shown) is preferably provided, which can be supported on the face of the armature 2.

Das Jochkernelement 3 ist mit der Spuleneinrichtung 9 in einem flussleitenden, vorzugsweise topfförmigen Gehäuse 10 aufgenommen und in diesem axial gesichert über eine Jochscheibe 11, die sich radial außen an den Jochabschnitt 6 anschmiegt, diesen gleichzeitig axial sichert und für eine magnetische Flussführung zwischen Jochabschnitt und Gehäuse 10 Sorge trägt.The yoke core element 3 is accommodated with the coil device 9 in a flux-conducting, preferably pot-shaped housing 10 and is axially secured in this by means of a yoke disk 11, which conforms radially to the outside of the yoke section 6, at the same time axially securing it and for magnetic flux guidance between the yoke section and the housing 10 care.

Wie eingangs erwähnt ist der Anker 2 zweiteilig ausgebildet und umfasst einen durchmessergrößeren, hülsenförmigen Führungsabschnitt 12, der eine als Durchgangsöffnung ausgebildete Führungsöffnung 13 aufweist, in welcher ein endseitiger, als Stößelabschnitt des Ankers 2 ausgebildeter Stellabschnitt 14 eingepresst ist. Dieser trägt in seinem axialen Endbereich ein nur teilweise gezeigtes Wälzlager 15, auf welchem sich ein Stellpartner in Umfangsrichtung um die Verstellachse V abwälzen kann. Um zu verhindern, dass ein hierdurch verursachtes Schleppmoment den Anker 2 in Umfangsrichtung um die Verstellachse V verdreht ist ein später noch zu erläuternder Verdrehsicherungsstift 16 vorgesehen.As mentioned at the outset, the armature 2 is formed in two parts and comprises a larger-diameter, sleeve-shaped guide section 12 which has a guide opening 13 in the form of a through-opening in which an end-side, designed as a plunger section of the armature 2 Adjustment section 14 is pressed. In its axial end region, the latter carries a roller bearing 15, only partially shown, on which an actuating partner can roll around the adjusting axis V in the circumferential direction. In order to prevent a drag torque caused thereby from rotating the armature 2 in the circumferential direction about the adjustment axis V, an anti-rotation pin 16 to be explained later is provided.

Auf der von dem Stellabschnitt 14 abgewandten Seite ragt in die Führungsöffnung 13 ein axialer Führungsstift 17 hinein, der in einer zentrischen, als Durchgangsöffnung ausgebildeten Führungsstiftaussparung 18 im Jochkernboden 4 festgelegt ist und zentrisch von der Verstellachse V durchsetzt ist, ebenso wie die zentrische Führungsöffnung 13. Der Führungsstift 17 ist aus einem magnetisch nicht leitenden Material ausgebildet und dient zur Führung des Ankers 2 am Innenumfang der Führungsöffnung 13.On the side facing away from the adjusting section 14, an axial guide pin 17 protrudes into the guide opening 13, which is fixed in a central guide pin recess 18 in the yoke core bottom 4 and is penetrated centrally by the adjusting axis V, as well as the central guide opening 13. The guide pin 17 is formed from a magnetically non-conductive material and serves to guide the armature 2 on the inner circumference of the guide opening 13.

Mit Radialabstand zu dem Führungsstift 17 ist der vorerwähnte Verdrehsicherungsstift 16 angeordnet, welcher in einer exzentrisch angeordneten, ebenfalls als Durchgangsöffnung ausgebildeten Verdrehsicherungsstiftaussparung 19 im Jochkernboden 4 durch Einpressen gehalten ist. Der Verdrehsicherungsstift 16 greift in eine ebenfalls als Durchgangsöffnung ausgebildete und sich parallel zur zentrischen Führungsöffnung 13 erstreckende Verdrehsicherungsstiftöffnung 20 im Führungsabschnitt des Ankers 2 ein und verhindert somit ein Verdrehen des Ankers 2 in Umfangsrichtung.The above-mentioned anti-rotation pin 16 is arranged at a radial distance from the guide pin 17 and is held in an eccentrically arranged anti-rotation pin recess 19 which is also designed as a through opening in the yoke core base 4 by pressing. The anti-rotation pin 16 engages in an anti-rotation pin opening 20 in the guide section of the armature 2, which is also designed as a through opening and extends parallel to the central guide opening 13 and thus prevents the armature 2 from rotating in the circumferential direction.

Parallel zur Verdrehsicherungsstiftöffnung ist eine, hier beispielhaft gleichgroß bemessene Ausgleichsöffnung (Durchgangsöffnung) im Führungsabschnitt 12 des Ankers 2 vorgesehen, um für einen Druckausgleich bei einer Verstellbewegung zwischen den von den Stirnseiten des Führungsabschnittes 12 begrenzten Zylinderräumen innerhalb des Jochkernelementes 3 Sorge zu tragen.Parallel to the anti-rotation pin opening, an equalizing opening (through opening), which is dimensioned here by way of example, is provided in the guide section 12 of the armature 2 in order to compensate for pressure during an adjustment movement between those of the end faces of the guide section 12 limited cylinder spaces within the yoke core element 3 to be taken care of.

Zur Führung des Ankers 2, genauer des Führungsabschnittes 12 an seinem Außenumfang ist ein als Gleitlagerbuchse ausgebildetes Gleitlager 21 vorgesehen, welches am Innenumfang des Jochabschnittes 6 des Jochkernelementes 3 angeordnet ist. Axial gesichert ist das Gleitlager 21 durch eine am Innenumfang des Jochkernelementes 3 ausgebildete Stufe 23, die an eine umfängliche Auflagefläche 24 für das Gleitlager 21 anschließt.To guide the armature 2, more precisely the guide section 12, on its outer circumference, a slide bearing 21 is provided which is arranged on the inner circumference of the yoke section 6 of the yoke core element 3. The slide bearing 21 is axially secured by a step 23 formed on the inner circumference of the yoke core element 3, which step adjoins a circumferential bearing surface 24 for the slide bearing 21.

Axial gesichert ist der Führungsabschnitt 12 des Ankers 2 im Jochkernelement 3 durch ein nicht magnetisch leitendes Ringscheibenelement 25, das nach radial außen federnd in eine Innenumfangsnut 26 im Jochabschnitt 6 eingreift. Eine zentrische Öffnung 26 in dem Ringscheibenelement 25 ist von dem stößelförmigen Stellabschnitt 14 des Ankers 2 durchsetzt - axial anschlagen an die nach dem Prinzip eines Sprengrings funktionierende Ringscheibe 25 kann der Führungsabschnitt 12 des Ankers 2 mit seiner vom Jochkernboden 4 abgewandten Stirnseite.The guide section 12 of the armature 2 in the yoke core element 3 is axially secured by a non-magnetically conductive annular disk element 25 which engages radially outwardly in an inner circumferential groove 26 in the yoke section 6. A central opening 26 in the annular disk element 25 is penetrated by the plunger-shaped adjusting section 14 of the armature 2 - the guide section 12 of the armature 2 with its end face facing away from the yoke core base 4 can axially strike the annular disk 25 functioning according to the principle of a snap ring.

Das Jochkernelement 3 der gezeigten Stellvorrichtung 1 ist Basis einer multifunktionalen Baugruppe, die den im Jochkernboden 4 fixierten Führungsstift 17 und den ebenfalls im Jochkernboden 4 fixierten Verdrehsicherungsstift 16 trägt sowie das Gleitlager 21 zum Führen des Ankers 2 an seinem Außenumfang. Darüber hinaus dient das Jochkernelement 3 zur klemmenden Halterung der von dem Anker 2 durchsetzten Ringscheibe, welche die Axialbewegung des Ankers 2 auf der dem Jochkernboden 4 abgewandten Axialseite begrenzt.The yoke core element 3 of the actuating device 1 shown is the basis of a multifunctional assembly which carries the guide pin 17 fixed in the yoke core base 4 and the anti-rotation pin 16 also fixed in the yoke core base 4 and the slide bearing 21 for guiding the armature 2 on its outer circumference. In addition, the yoke core element 3 serves to clamp the ring disk through which the armature 2 passes, which limits the axial movement of the armature 2 on the axial side facing away from the yoke core base 4.

Die erfindungsgemäße, sehr kompakte Bauform ermöglicht den zur Verfügung stehenden Bauraum zur magnettechnischen Leistungssteigerung zu nutzen.The very compact design according to the invention makes it possible to use the available installation space for increasing the magnetic performance.

Im Folgenden werden alternative, ebenfalls nach dem Konzept der Erfindung ausgebildete Ausgestaltungsvarianten beschrieben, wobei im Wesentlichen auf die Unterschiede zu dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 1 eingegangen wird. Zur Vermeidung von Wiederholungen wird im Hinblick auf Gemeinsamkeiten auf die vorstehende Figurenbeschreibung verwiesen.Alternative design variants, likewise designed according to the concept of the invention, are described below, essentially based on the differences from the exemplary embodiment according to Fig. 1 is received. To avoid repetition, reference is made to the above description of the figures with regard to similarities.

Der Anker 2 der elektromagnetischen Stellvorrichtung 1 gemäß Fig. 2 kann beispielsweise einteilig ausgestaltet sein. In diesem Fall ist die Führungsöffnung 13 zur Aufnahme des Führungsstiftes 17, bevorzugt wie gezeigt als Sacklochbohrung ausgeführt. In diese ist ein Anschlagdämpfungselement 29 eingepresst, über welches sich der Anker 2 in einer in der Zeichnungsebene unteren Endanschlagposition stirnseitig am Führungsstift 17 abstützen kann. Im Gegensatz zu dem zuvor beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel bildet bei der gezeigten Ausführungsvariante der Jochkernboden 4 keinen Endanschlag. Diese Endanschlagfunktionalität wird unmittelbar vom Führungsstift 17 übernommen.The armature 2 of the electromagnetic actuator 1 according to Fig. 2 can be designed in one piece, for example. In this case, the guide opening 13 for receiving the guide pin 17 is preferably designed as a blind hole as shown. A stop damping element 29 is pressed into this, via which the armature 2 can be supported on the end face on the guide pin 17 in a lower end stop position in the plane of the drawing. In contrast to the exemplary embodiment described above, the yoke core base 4 does not form an end stop in the embodiment variant shown. This end stop functionality is taken over directly by the guide pin 17.

Ein weiterer Unterschied des Ausführungsbeispiels gemäß Fig. 2 besteht in dem Vorsehen eines inneren Gleitlagers 30 (welches auch bei der Variante gemäß Fig. 1 vorgesehen werden kann), hier beispielhaft zusätzlich zu dem (äußeren) Gleitlager 21. Das innere Gleitlager 30 ist in die lediglich beispielhaft als Sacklochöffnung ausgebildete Führungsöffnung 13 eingepresst und bewegt sich somit axial zusammen mit dem Anker 2 und führt diesen bei dieser Axialbewegung am Außenumfang des zentrisch angeordneten Führungsstiftes 17.Another difference of the embodiment according to Fig. 2 consists in the provision of an inner plain bearing 30 (which also applies to the variant according to Fig. 1 can be provided), here, for example, in addition to the (outer) slide bearing 21. The inner slide bearing 30 is pressed into the guide opening 13, which is designed only as an example as a blind hole, and thus moves axially together with the armature 2 and guides this during the axial movement on the outer circumference of the centrally arranged guide pin 17th

Bei der alternativen Ausführungsvariante gemäß Fig. 3 ist zusätzlich zu dem in der ebenfalls beispielhaft als Sacklochöffnung ausgeführten Führungsöffnung 13 angeordneten Anschlagdämpfungselement 29 auf der davon abgewandten Axialseite des Ankers 2 oder anders ausgedrückt auf einer von dem Jochkernboden 4 abgewandten Axialseite des Ankers 2 ein weiteres, hier beispielhaft ringförmiges Anschlagdämpfungselement 31 angeordnet. Dieses ist in eine beispielhaft ringnutförmige Öffnung in einer Ringschulter des Ankers 2 eingepresst und dient zur Dämpfung des Ankeranschlags in seiner in der Zeichnungsebene oberen Anschlagsposition, in der sich der Anker 2 über das ringförmige Anschlagdämpfungselement 31 axial an dem Ringscheibenelement 25 abstützt. Ebenfalls bei der Ausführungsvariante gemäß Fig. 3 ist das innere Gleitlager 30 vorgesehen, um den Anker am Außenumfang des Führungsstiftes 17 zu führen.In the alternative variant according to Fig. 3 In addition to the stop damping element 29 arranged in the guide opening 13, which is also designed as a blind hole opening, on the axial side of the armature 2 facing away from it or, in other words, on another axial side of the armature 2 facing away from the yoke core bottom 4, another stop damping element 31, here exemplarily ring-shaped, is arranged. This is pressed into an exemplary annular groove-shaped opening in an annular shoulder of the armature 2 and serves to dampen the armature stop in its upper stop position in the plane of the drawing, in which the armature 2 is axially supported on the annular disk element 25 via the annular stop damping element 31. Also in the variant according to Fig. 3 the inner slide bearing 30 is provided to guide the armature on the outer circumference of the guide pin 17.

Es sei ausdrücklich darauf hingewiesen, dass die in den Figuren 2 und 3 hinzugekommenen Merkmale bzw. Funktionalitäten auch einzeln und in beliebiger Kombination mit Merkmalen der jeweils anderen Ausführungsbeispiele kombiniert werden können.It is expressly pointed out that the in the Figures 2 and 3rd Added features or functionalities can also be combined individually and in any combination with features of the other exemplary embodiments.

So kann beispielsweise auch die Ausführungsvariante gemäß Fig. 3 mit Verdrehsicherungsstift ausgeführt werden, um eine Verdrehung des Ankers 2, insbesondere für den Fall der Anordnung eines Wälzlagers am Anker, ausgeführt werden.For example, the variant according to FIG Fig. 3 be carried out with an anti-rotation pin in order to rotate the armature 2, in particular in the case of the arrangement of a rolling bearing on the armature.
