The invention is based on an electromagnetic actuator for activating a gas exchange valve. The latter has both an opening magnet and a closing magnet, between which an armature which is connected to a valve stem is arranged in a coaxially displaceable fashion. The armature is held in a position of equilibrium between the magnets by means of an upper and a lower prestressed valve spring when the magnets are in a currentless state. In order to be able to control the actuator better, a plunger coil is connected to a valve stem of the gas exchange valve and is arranged coaxially with respect to said valve stem. Said plunger coil dips into a radially magnetized air gap of an annular, axially magnetized permanent magnet.
An electromagnetic actuator for activating a gas exchange valve, said gas exchange valve having an opening magnet and a closing magnet with an armature connected to a valve stem arranged in a coaxially displaceable fashion and wherein an upper and a lower prestressed valve spring hold said armature in a position of equilibrium between said opening and said closing magnet when said opening magnet and said closing magnet are both in a currentless state, said actuator comprising:
An electromagnetic activated gas exchange valve comprising:
