Abstract
An electromagnetic actuator has a core combined with a coil, and a movable member disposed so as to be attractable to an end face of the core, the movable member having an abutting surface for abutment against the end face of the core. The coil is selectively energized and de-energized to attract the movable member to and release the movable member from the end face of the core. The end face of the core is greater in size than the abutting surface of the movable member.
