Electromagnetic actuating unit of a hydraulic directional valve
View Patent ↗An electromagnetic actuating unit of a hydraulic directional valve, which has an armature and a first and a second magnet yoke. The first and the second magnet yokes at least partially bind an armature space, the armature is arranged in the armature space so as to be axially displaceable, and the first and the second magnet yokes face each other in the axial direction of the armature.
1. An electromagnetic actuating unit of a hydraulic directional valve, comprising:
an armature, a first magnet yoke, and a second magnet yoke,
a tappet rod connected to the armature extends through an opening in the second magnetic yoke,
wherein the first magnet yoke and the second magnet yoke at least partially delimit an armature space,
wherein the armature is arranged in the armature space so as to be axially movable,
wherein the first magnet yoke and the second magnet yoke face each other in an axial direction of the armature,
wherein a plain bearing resting on the armature is arranged on an outer circumferential surface of the armature or an inner circumferential surface of one of the first magnet yoke and the second magnet yoke to support the armature on the one of the first magnet yoke and the second magnet yoke, and
wherein, in any position of the armature relative to the one of the first magnet yoke and the second magnet yoke, the plain bearing is arranged outside a region in which ends of the first magnet yoke and of the second magnet yoke face each other.
2. The electromagnetic actuating unit as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a first recess, in which the plain bearing is arranged, is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the armature or the inner circumferential surface of the one of the first magnet yoke and the second magnet yoke.
3. The electromagnetic actuating unit as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the first recess is designed as a groove which runs around in a circumferential direction.
4. The electromagnetic actuating unit as claimed in claim 2 , wherein a second recess, which faces the first recess in a radial direction, is provided in that component, selected from a group comprising the armature the one of the first magnet yoke and the second magnet yoke, on which the plain bearing is not secured.
5. The electromagnetic actuating unit as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the plain bearing has a stop, which limits a travel of the armature in one direction.
6. The electromagnetic actuating unit as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the stop covers a surface of the armature only partially, perpendicularly to a direction of motion of the armature.
7. The electromagnetic actuating unit as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the plain bearing is of annular design.
8. The electromagnetic actuating unit as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the plain bearing is of segmented design.
9. The electromagnetic actuating unit as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the plain bearing is secured nonpositively, positively or by a material bond on the armature or the one of the first magnet yoke and the second magnet yoke.
10. The electromagnetic actuating unit as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the plain bearing is secured on the armature or the magnet yoke by means of a press fit.
11. The electromagnetic actuating unit as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the plain bearing is caulked to the armature or the magnet yoke.
12. The electromagnetic actuating unit as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the plain bearing is molded onto the armature or the magnet yoke.
