Abstract
An electromagnetically actuated valve for an automotive vehicle includes a pole assembly having a coil situated therein and a combination valve element and armature, including a tubular axially moveable valve spool for controlling the flow through at least one inlet port and at least one outlet port. A magnetic head having a first end attached to an end of the valve spool and a second end nested within a relieved area provided in the pole assembly functions to move the tubular valve spool in response to magnetic flux induced by the coil.
