A product for use with a turbocharger is disclosed. The product may include a housing with an opening extending through at least part of the housing. An outer bearing race may be positioned in the opening. An inner bearing race may be rotatably positioned in the outer bearing race. A turbine wheel may be fixed to one end of the inner bearing race. A compressor wheel may be fixed to another end of the inner bearing race. The inner bearing race may be comprised of one, two, or more race sections. The turbine wheel may be connected to the compressor wheel only through the inner bearing race or race sections.

Shaftless turbocharger

An electromechanical valve actuator including an electromagnet interconnected with a housing end portion and an electric coil disposed adjacent said electromagnet. The electromagnet includes a plurality of interlocked laminae to form a laminate that is similarly interlocked with housing end portions. The housing end portions are interlocked with the laminate with the use of tabs and recesses formed on the laminae and the housing end portions.

Electromagnet assembly for electromechanical valve actuators

An electromechanical valve actuator with an armature stem guidance system that ensures that the armature stem stays aligned with the valve stem during operation. The stem guidance system may also allow for adjustment of the lash gap during assembly.

Electromechanical valve actuator

A lever electromechanical valve actuator assembly and arrangement of electromechanical valve actuators that creates a compact actuator assembly to increase ease of serviceability, provide space for engine components and eliminate interference between the actuators and components in the vehicle engine compartment.
