Abstract

A flat electromagnetic actuator includes a solenoid, a shaft at the center thereof, first and second bearings, a projecting supporting part, a movable core having an annular projection, a cylindrical yoke, a coil bobbin, a coil and a cylindrical housing whose top is closed, wherein an axial dimension thereof is shorter than a radial dimension thereof, and wherein the second bearing, the projecting supporting part, the movable core, the annular projection, the cylindrical yoke, the coil bobbin, and the housing are disposed on a same surface perpendicular to a displacement direction of the shaft, and continuously provided in the radial direction.

Claims (16)

1. A flat electromagnetic actuator, comprising:

a body which is composed of a single-piece member made of a magnetic material and comprises an attracting tapered part and a cylindrical, flat housing whose upper end is closed;

a flat coil stacked body configured to stack a coil wound on a coil bobbin and being disposed in the body;

a flat movable core configured to be attracted toward the attracting tapered part when the coil is energized, the movable core comprising a completely thin flat plate located on a top part of the flat movable core and facing the attracting tapered part, an annular projection and an annular inclined surface on an inner circumferential side thereof, the annular inclined surface having a tapered shape

an approximately disc-shaped fixed core which is composed of a single-piece member made of a magnetic material and is located at a lower end of the housing which is hollow in the bottom, wherein the annular inclined surface has a diameter that becomes progressively larger toward the fixed core;

a movable body configured to integrally connect and transfer with the movable core;

bearings configured to support the movable body displaced in an axial direction thereof;

a projecting supporting part configured to face the annular inclined surface of the movable core and support one of the bearings; and

a cylindrical yoke configured to enclose the annular projection of the movable core, wherein

the movable core, one of the bearings, the projecting supporting part, the annular projection, the cylindrical yoke, and the coil stacked body are disposed on a same surface and successively annularly provided from a center thereof to an outer circumference thereof.

2. The flat electromagnetic actuator according to claim 1 , wherein the same surface is comprised of a cross section perpendicular to a displacement direction of the movable body.

3. The flat electromagnetic actuator according to claim 1 ,

wherein

the attracting tapered part is annularly disposed on a ceiling surface of the body, and downwardly protrudes a predetermined distance.

4. The flat electromagnetic actuator according to claim 3 , further comprising a recessed inner wall formed on an inner circumferential side of the attracting tapered part and positioned above the ceiling surface formed on an outer circumferential side of the attracting tapered part.

5. The flat electromagnetic actuator according to claim 3 , wherein the attracting tapered part includes a vertical cross section on an inner circumferential side thereof and an inclined cross section on an outer circumferential side thereof.
