Electromagnet with a magnet armature

Abstract

In an electromagnet having an armature, in particular for use in a solenoid valve, which includes a solenoid coil, a magnet core which passes through the solenoid coil and has at least one pole face, an armature which is supported perpendicularly to the at least one pole face of the magnet core so as to be able to slide and has an armature plate facing the pole face and an armature pin that projects from the armature plate and is supported so as to be able to slide and rotate, and an adjusting arrangement that is formed on the electromagnet and/or on the armature and adjust the armature plate to a predetermined rotational position, it is proposed that at least one first cutout which is radially offset from the armature pin and formed in the armature plate, and at least one second cutout which is situated in the at least one pole face of the magnet core and assigned to the first cutout, be provided as adjusting arrangement; the second cutout magnetically interacting with the first cutout in response to the solenoid coil being acted upon by a current, such that the armature plate is adjusted to the predetermined rotational position.
