Electromagnetic actuator for a hydraulic directional control valve

Electromagnetic actuator for a hydraulic directional control valve comprising:

• a housing (08) with which the electromagnetic actuator can be mounted opposite the hydraulic directional control valve,
• a coil (01) that is arranged in a coil body (03),
• an armature (09) that is arranged in the electromagnetic actuator so that it can move axially, and
• a seal (13;
• 24) between the coil body (03) and the housing (08),
• wherein the coil body has a holder (26, 28) for holding the seal (24) at least during an assembly of the electromagnetic actuator, the coil body has a peripheral, circular groove (27) for holding the seal (24), the holder (26, 28) is located on an inner wall located in the groove (27), the inner wall of the groove (27) forming the holder (26, 28) is constructed as a plurality of segments extending in the peripheral direction of the groove (27), the segments of the inner wall of the groove (27) forming the holder (26, 28) are distributed uniformly in the peripheral direction of the groove (27) and an intermediate space is located between adjacent ones of the segments;
• and
• the segments of the inner wall of the groove (27) forming the holder (26, 28) are constructed as ring segments (26) that are arranged in a coaxial, cylindrical recess (23) of the coil body, wherein the groove (27) is constructed between an inner side of a lateral surface of the cylindrical recess (23) and the ring segments (26).
