Abstract

An adjusting device having at least one tappet assembly. The at least one tappet assembly comprises a tappet, at least one guide cylinder, and a pole core. The tappet is arranged in the guide cylinder in a movable manner along a longitudinal axis, and a non-magnetic connection socket is arranged between the guide cylinder and the pole core. The guide cylinder and the pole core are arranged at a distance to each other in the longitudinal axis by the connection socket.

Claims (24)

1. An adjusting device, comprising:

a tappet assembly,

wherein the tappet assembly comprises a tappet, a guide cylinder and a pole core,

wherein the tappet assembly includes a first tappet assembly and a second tappet assembly disposed in parallel and spaced apart from each other on a connection plate, wherein the connection plate comprises a first cutout and a second cutout, wherein the first tappet assembly penetrates the first cutout, wherein the second tappet assembly penetrates the second cutout, and wherein a clearance is provided between one of the first or second cutouts and one of the first or second tappet assemblies, respectively,

wherein the tappet is configured to be displaced along a longitudinal axis in the guide cylinder,

wherein a non-magnetic connection bushing is disposed between the guide cylinder and the pole core, and

wherein a spacing between the guide cylinder and the pole core along the longitudinal axis is defined by the connection bushing.

2. The adjusting device of claim 1 , wherein the connection bushing comprises a steel.

3. The adjusting device of claim 2 , wherein the steel is a chromium-nickel steel with austenitic structure.

4. The adjusting device of claim 1 , wherein the spacing is up to ±50% of a working stroke of the tappet.

5. The adjusting device of claim 1 , wherein the connection bushing is connected pressure-tight with the pole core, the guide cylinder, or both the pole core and the guide cylinder, by a welded connection.

6. The adjusting device of claim 1 , wherein the tappet assembly further comprises an actuator that is in operational connection with a front end of the tappet.

7. The adjusting device of claim 6 , wherein the actuator is magnetically controlled and encompassed by an actuator coil.

8. The adjusting device of claim 7 , wherein in a nonactivated state of the tappet the connection bushing is disposed between the actuator coil and the actuator.

9. The adjusting device of claim 7 , wherein a magnetic flux flows through the connection bushing.

10. The adjusting device of claim 1 , wherein the guide cylinder is formed of a first guide sleeve and a second guide sleeve which are connected pressure-tight with one another.

11. The adjusting device of claim 10 , wherein the first guide sleeve is produced out of a non-magnetic material and supports the tappet along the longitudinal axis and the second guide sleeve is produced out of a magnetic material and supports the actuator along the longitudinal axis.

12. The adjusting device of claim 1 , wherein a recuperating spring is provided which is disposed on the guide cylinder and is in operational contact with the tappet.

13. The adjusting device of claim 1 , wherein the guide cylinder comprises a sealing on an outer surface.

14. The adjusting device of claim 1 , wherein the guide cylinder comprises a contact face that is in contact on a connection side of the connection plate.

15. The adjusting device of claim 14 , further comprising a housing disposed opposite the connection side.

16. The adjusting device of claim 1 , wherein a sliding bushing is provided by which a maximal working stroke of the tappet along the longitudinal axis is defined.

17. The adjusting device of claim 1 , wherein the tappet assembly has a cartridge shape.

18. A motor vehicle with the adjusting device of claim 1 .
