A method of securing a core of an electromagnetic device to a housing assembly is provided. The core includes a stack of a plurality of laminations. Each of the laminations has a plurality of apertures extending therethrough which cooperate to define a plurality of apertures through the core. The core has generally planar ends. The housing assembly includes first and second housing portions constructed and arranged to receive the core. Each housing portion has first and second opposing surfaces with the first surface defining a generally planar contact surface. Each housing portion includes a recess extending inwardly from the contact surface and a plurality of apertures extending from the first surface to the second surface. The apertures in the housing portions are disposed at locations corresponding to locations of the apertures in the core. The method includes arranging the core between the first and second housing portions such that the apertures in the housing portions align generally with the apertures in the core. A fastener is then inserted through each of the apertures in the first housing portion, through each of the apertures in the core and through each of the corresponding apertures in the second housing portion in such a manner to secure the core to the first and second housing portions with each planar end of the core being engaged with an associated contact surface. Each end of the core defines, in cooperation with an associated recess, a coil receiving space for receiving a portion of a coil of the electromagnetic device.

An electromagnetic actuator is provided for mounting to a cylinder head of an engine. The actuator includes an actuator assembly including housing structure and an armature. A pair of electromagnets are disposed in the housing structure. An alignment collar is detached from the actuator assembly. The alignment collar has a first end constructed and arranged to be received in a bore of the cylinder head and a second end opposite the first end. The second end of the alignment collar is cooperable with an end of the actuator assembly. The detached alignment collar facilitates assembly of the electromagnetic actuator to a cylinder head. A method of securing an electromagnetic actuator to a cylinder head is also provided.

A fuel injector is provided. The fuel injector includes a metering member (20) for delivering fuel from a delivery end (14) of the fuel injector (10). The metering member comprises a seat (12) disposed proximate the delivery end of the fuel injector; and an armature assembly (100). The armature assembly includes a longitudinal axis, a seating element (130) disposed generally along the longitudinal axis, and an elongated tube (120). The elongated tube has a first end (122), a second end (124), and a tube channel (126) extending from the second end toward the first end. The first end has a first portion connected to the seating element with at least one weld and a second portion disposed distal from the longitudinal axis from the first portion. The armature assembly is reciprocably disposed within the fuel injector between a closed position wherein the seating element (130) is biased against the seat (12) and an open position wherein the seating element is disposed away from the seat. A method of manufacturing the armature assembly is also provided.

A fuel injector (100) having a fuel inlet, a fuel outlet, and a fuel passageway extending along an axis between the fuel inlet and the fuel outlet. The fuel injector includes a body (240) having an inlet portion, an outlet portion, and a neck portion disposed between the inlet portion and the outlet portion. An adjusting tube (280) is disposed within the neck portion of the body. A spring (270) is disposed within the neck portion of the body, the spring having an upstream end proximate to the adjusting tube (280) and a downstream end opposite the upstream end. A filter assembly (282) is disposed within the tube assembly to provide a reaction member for the spring (270). An armature (262) having a lower portion is disposed within the neck portion of the body and displaceable along the axis relative to the body.

A method of joining a lamination stack of an electromagnetic actuator to a housing of the actuator includes providing a lamination stack having at least one surface feature. A mold is provided to define the housing. The lamination stack is inserted into the mold such that the surface feature of the lamination stack will define a mating surface feature in the housing. Material is cast around at least a portion of lamination stack to define the housing such that the surface feature of the lamination stack is engaged with the surface feature of the housing, thereby joining the lamination stack to the housing. The assembly of the lamination stack and housing is then removed from the mold.
