Abstract
A plunger is formed of a soft magnetic material to have one end connected a regulation pin. A permanent magnet is affixed to a stationary portion, which is stationary relative to the plunger, to attract the plunger in a retreated direction. A coil generates a magnetic flux in an opposite direction of the permanent magnet to reduce a magneto attraction force, which attracts the plunger. A spring biases the regulation pin in an advanced direction. The spring applies a biasing force to the regulation pin to move the regulation pin in the advanced direction when electricity is supplied to the coil to reduce the magneto attraction force of the permanent magnet. A magnetism detection unit is located on a magnetic circuit, which conducts a magnetic flux generated by the permanent magnet and the coil, to detect a magnetic flux density.
