Pusher mechanism for powered fastener driver

A powered fastener driver comprising:

• a housing;
• a nosepiece coupled to the housing and extending therefrom;
• a driver blade movable within the nosepiece between a ready position and a driven position;
• a canister magazine coupled to the nosepiece in which collated fasteners are receivable;
• and
• a pusher mechanism coupled to the nosepiece for individually transferring collated fasteners in the canister magazine to a driver channel in the nosepiece in which the driver blade is movable, the pusher mechanism including
• a feeder arm coupled to the nosepiece for relative translation therewith,
• a solenoid having a solenoid housing and a plunger extending therefrom, the plunger being coupled to the feeder arm for imparting reciprocating translation to the feeder arm in response to activation and deactivation of the solenoid, and
• a bracket coupled to at least one of the nosepiece and the canister magazine, such that the solenoid housing is clamped between the bracket and the at least one of the nosepiece and the canister magazine;
• wherein the feeder arm reciprocates along a first axis, and
• wherein the plunger defines a second axis that is parallel with the first axis.
