Electromagnet and method for mounting an electromagnet

An electromagnet comprising:

• a pre-assembly unit comprising a guide element and a coil;
• an armature which is arranged translationally displaceable in the guide element;
• and
• a core comprising an axially extending annular protrusion into which the pre-assembly unit is inserted,
• wherein,
• the guide element comprises a sleeve and a mounting protrusion which extends radially from an outer peripheral surface of the sleeve,
• the sleeve comprises an inner circumferential surface which is configured to directly guide the axially movable armature,
• the mounting protrusion is attached to the axially extending annular protrusion of the core
• the pre-assembly unit further comprises a cover and a plug which is electrically connected to the coil,
• the cover is fixed to the guide element,
• the guide element is interlockingly fastened to the cover,
• the guide element comprises a protrusion which extends axially to the cover,
• the cover comprises a protrusion which extends axially to the guide element, and
• the protrusion of the guide element and the protrusion of the cover interlock with each other.
