Abstract

A pole core ( 1 ) is constructed by providing a magnetic workpiece ( 10 ), in which a first side ( 11 ) has a groove ( 15 ) directed toward a second side ( 12 ). Plural inserts ( 20 ) and bonding means ( 25 ) are inserted into the groove ( 15 ), with the bonding means ( 25 ) arranged between the inserts, and integrally bonding the inserts ( 20 ) to each other and/or to the workpiece ( 10 ). The pole core ( 1 ) may be used as in an electromagnetic actuator in a vibration damper for a vehicle, in which, if the electromagnetic actuator fails, the motor vehicle can be operated safely with the vibration damper.

Claims (29)

1. A method for producing a pole core ( 1 ), comprising the following method steps:

providing a magnetic workpiece ( 10 ), which has a first side ( 11 ) and a second side ( 12 ), the first side ( 11 ) having a groove ( 15 ) directed toward the second side ( 12 ),

inserting at least two inserts ( 20 ) and at least one bonding means ( 25 ) into the groove ( 15 ), the at least one bonding means ( 25 ) being arranged between the two inserts ( 20 ), and

integrally bonding the at least two inserts ( 20 ) to each other and/or the at least two inserts ( 20 ) to the workpiece ( 10 ).

2. The method according to claim 1 ,

characterized in that

said integrally bonding of the at least two inserts ( 20 ) to each other and/or the at least two inserts ( 20 ) to the workpiece ( 10 ) is carried out by heating the workpiece and liquefying the bonding means ( 25 ).

3. The method according to claim 1 ,

characterized in that

the at least two inserts ( 20 ) are made of a non-magnetic material, in particular stainless steel.

4. The method according to claim 1 , characterized in that

the bonding means ( 25 ) comprises at least one isolated copper body which is inserted into the groove ( 15 ).

5. The method according to claim 1 , characterized in that

at least one of the two inserts ( 20 ) has a transition fit ( 23 ) on a first area ( 21 ) and/or on a second area ( 22 ) which is adapted to the groove ( 15 ).

6. The method according to claim 1 , characterized in that

at least one of the two inserts ( 20 ) is inserted by being pressed into the groove ( 15 ).

7. The method according to claim 1 , characterized in that

the workpiece ( 10 ) is positioned during integrally bonding in such a way that at least one of the two inserts ( 20 ) is pressed into the groove ( 15 ) by gravity.

8. The method according to claim 1 , characterized in that

heating the workpiece and liquefying the bonding means ( 25 ) is carried out until the bonding means has flown by capillary transport in the groove ( 15 ) between the inserts ( 20 ) and the at least two inserts ( 20 ) approximately abut against each other in the groove ( 15 ).

9. The method according to claim 1 , characterized in that

material is removed from the second side to expose the at least one of the two inserts ( 20 ), preferably by a machining manufacturing method.

10. A pole core ( 1 ) produced with a production method according to claim 1 .

11. The pole core according to claim 10 ,

characterized in that

a gap ( 17 ) divides the pole core ( 1 ) into at least two sections ( 16 , 18 ), and that in the gap ( 17 ) the at least two non-magnetic inserts ( 20 ) are arranged, via which the at least two sections ( 16 , 18 ) are bonded to each other.

12. An electromagnetic actuator with a pole core ( 1 ) according to claim 10 .

13. A vibration damper for a vehicle with an electromagnetic actuator according to claim 12 .

14. A vehicle with a vibration damper according to claim 13 .
