Abstract
An electromagnetic solenoid assembly is disclosed. The solenoid assembly includes a cup-shaped ring defining a pocket for an annular coil, and including a radially extending portion, a radially inner axially extending flange, and a radially outer axially extending flange. An axially outer end of the radially outer axially extending flange includes a first inclined surface and an axially outer end of the radially inner axially extending flange includes a second inclined surface. A ring-shaped armature includes a radially outer portion and a radially inner portion. An axially outer end of the radially outer portion includes a third inclined surface and an axially outer end of the radially inner portion includes a fourth inclined surface. Pairs of the inclined surfaces are aligned substantially parallel to each other. A distance between the ring-shaped armature and the cup-shaped ring is variable based on energizing the annular coil.
