Abstract
An electromagnetic actuator device includes an actuator having an actuator coil and a tappet that can be moved in and against a longitudinal direction. The actuator device includes a sensor device having a transmitter element arranged on the tappet and a sensor element for generating a measurement signal, containing information about a current actual position of the tappet, depending on a magnetic field generated by the transmitter element. The actuator device includes a control unit with a controller, which applies a control voltage to the actuator coil for generating an electromagnetic field during operation in dependence on a position signal based on the measurement signal, so that the tappet moves into a target position. During operation, a stray magnetic field is generated by the at actuator coil, an adaptation of the measurement signal is performed to compensate for the influence on the measurement signal caused by the stray field.
