Abstract
A solenoid driving device includes a coil formed by winding a coil wire on a bobbin formed of a non-magnetic material, end portions formed of a magnetic material which are disposed adjacent to both ends of the coil, a yoke formed of a magnetic material which is disposed encompassing the coil and the end portions, and a plunger disposed slidably in a hollow portion formed within the bobbin and end portions. The plunger includes a base formed of a magnetic material, a first layer formed of a non-magnetic material, and a second layer formed of a non-magnetic material having a friction coefficient smaller than that of the first layer. This allows magnetism to be severed between the plunger and end portions.
