Title: Thomas Rockl and His Electromagnetic Actuator
Introduction
Thomas Rockl is an inventor associated with Freihung, Germany, and Temic Telefunken Microelectronic GmbH. His work includes an invention addressing the performance of electromagnetic actuators used to control internal combustion engine valves.
Latest Patents
Rockl is credited with 1 patent, titled “Electromagnetic Actuator.” The invention concerns an actuator in which magnetic forces move an armature between an opening magnet and a closing magnet to operate an intake or exhaust valve. Because opening a valve must overcome pressure in the combustion chamber, opening can take longer than closing. The design uses a two-section connecting sleeve, with a ferromagnetic section attached to the opening magnet and a nonferromagnetic section attached to the closing magnet. This arrangement increases the opening magnet’s force over larger stroke lengths, enabling faster valve opening.
Career Highlights
Rockl’s listed company affiliation is Temic Telefunken Microelectronic GmbH. His patent reflects work on improving electromagnetic valve-control mechanisms for internal combustion engines.
Collaborations
Rudolf Wilczek and Matthias Gramann are identified as Rockl’s coworkers.
Conclusion
Thomas Rockl’s patent describes a specialized actuator design intended to improve valve-opening speed by adjusting the magnetic forces acting on its armature.
