Abstract

A method for manufacturing a solenoid-armature ram composite and a corresponding solenoid-armature ram composite for a linear actuator which has a stator with a coil that can be fed with electrical current for producing an electromagnetic field and a single-part or multi-part solenoid armature movable along a longitudinal axis of the coil and a ram connected with the solenoid armature, provides that the solenoid armature surrounds the ram in a ring shape and a gap between the ram and the solenoid armature is cast with a casting material.

Claims (13)

1. A solenoid-armature ram composite for a linear actuator comprising:

a stator with a coil that can be fed with electrical current for producing an electromagnetic field and a single-part or multi-part solenoid armature movable along a longitudinal axis of the coil and a ram connected with the solenoid armature, wherein the solenoid armature surrounds the ram in a ring shape, wherein between the ram and the solenoid armature, a casting material is casted which connects the solenoid armature with the ram;

wherein the solenoid armature comprises a first permanent magnet ring and a second permanent magnet ring between which at least one intermediate ring is arranged;

at least one of the first permanent magnet ring and the second permanent magnet ring adjoins and contacts the casting material; and

the casting material has a smaller outer diameter than the first permanent magnet ring or the second permanent magnet ring.

2. The solenoid-armature ram composite according to claim 1 , wherein the solenoid armature comprises at least both of one first pole disk and one second pole disk, wherein respectively one of the first pole disk and second pole disk adjoins one of the two permanent magnet rings on the outer side in the axial direction.

3. The solenoid-armature ram composite according to claim 2 , wherein the first pole disk has a smaller inner diameter than the second pole disk, with which inner diameter the first pole disk adjoins the ram.

4. The solenoid-armature ram composite according to claim 2 , wherein the permanent magnet rings have a smaller outer diameter than the pole disks and/or the intermediate ring.

5. The solenoid-armature ram composite according to claim 2 , wherein the pole disks and/or the intermediate ring comprise at least one material of the group of magnetically soft materials.

6. A linear actuator with a solenoid-armature ram composite according to claim 1 .

7. The linear actuator according to claim 6 , wherein the ram is mounted on the stator in axially movable manner by plate springs.

8. The linear actuator according to claim 6 , wherein the stator has an axial cross-sectional profile that is a cone-shaped cross-sectional profile, which diminishes at least partly in the direction of the ram.

9. The linear actuator according to claim 6 , wherein the coil has an axial cross-sectional profile that is a cone-shaped cross-sectional profile, which diminishes at least partly in the direction of the ram.
