To obtain an electromagnetic actuator capable of improving a thrust force of a movable element. Provided is an electromagnetic actuator, including: a stator, which has a first surface at one end in an axial direction and a second surface at another end in the axial direction, and is made of a soft magnetic material having a tubular space formed in the axial direction; and a movable element, which is disposed in the tubular space, and is configured to move along the axial direction, wherein the stator includes: a coil; a core portion; and a protrusion portion, wherein the movable element includes a movable element core made of a soft magnetic material and a permanent magnet, and wherein at least one of a radially inner side and a radially outer side of the permanent magnet is covered by a movable element core.

Electromagnetic actuator and hydraulic pressure adjustment mechanism

A sensor core () is arranged in a plane (P), which is positioned on sides of opposite ends of plungers () from bosses (), and which is perpendicular to a direction of movement of the plungers (). A magnetic sensor () is arranged at a position in the plane (P), the position being apart from a magnetic path (A) of a leakage flux of a magnetic circuit (A).

Electromagnetic actuator

An electromagnetic actuator () includes sensor magnets () disposed correspondingly to plungers (), respectively. The electromagnetic actuator () further includes a sensor core () made of a magnetic material and disposed in a position through which magnetic fluxes from the plurality of sensor magnets () can flow, and a magnetic sensor () that is disposed in a part of the sensor core () through which the magnetic fluxes of the plurality of sensor magnets () can flow in common, and that detects the magnetic flux, which varies in accordance with respective positions of the plurality of plungers ().
