Abstract

A vibration-damping electromagnetic actuator including: a stator; a movable member displaceable relative to the stator, and being disposed within or about it; a coil member with a coil generating a magnetic field through energization, which is disposed at one of the stator and the movable member; an armature displaceable relative to the coil member by an effect of the magnetic field generated by the coil, which is disposed at the other one of the stator and the movable member; a tubular guide sleeve disposed between the stator and the movable member so that the movable member is slidable along the guide sleeve; and an elastic support body fixed to the guide sleeve being clamped by the stator at a portion of the elastic support body apart from the guide sleeve so that the guide sleeve is elastically supported by the stator.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A vibration-damping electromagnetic actuator comprising:
a stator;
a movable member displaceable relative to the stator, and being disposed within or about the stator;
a coil member with a coil generating a magnetic field through energization, which is disposed at one of the stator and the movable member;
an armature displaceable relative to the coil member by an effect of the magnetic field generated by the coil, which is disposed at another one of the stator and the movable member;
a tubular guide sleeve disposed between the stator and the movable member so that the movable member is slidable along the guide sleeve; and
an elastic support body bonded to the guide sleeve, the elastic support body being clamped by the stator at a portion of the elastic support body, the portion of the elastic support body projecting in an axis perpendicular direction from the guide sleeve so that the guide sleeve is elastically supported by the stator.

2. The vibration-damping electromagnetic actuator according to claim 1 , wherein the stator has the coil member in a tubular shape, and the coil member is disposed externally about the movable member, the coil member is housed within a housing in a shape of a bottomed cup, and the elastic support body projects from a lower end part of the guide sleeve in an axis-perpendicular direction so as to be clamped between the coil member and a bottom wall of the housing in an axial direction.

3. The vibration-damping electromagnetic actuator according to claim 1 , wherein a lower end part of the guide sleeve includes a large-diameter fixation part, and the elastic support body is fixed at the fixation part of the guide sleeve so as to project toward an outer periphery.

4. The vibration-damping electromagnetic actuator according to claim 1 , wherein the movable member has the armature including a permanent magnet and an inner yoke overlapped with one another, and the permanent magnet is a rare earth magnet or a ferrite magnet.

5. An active fluid-filled vibration-damping device comprising:
a first mounting member;
a second mounting member;
a main rubber elastic body elastically connecting the first mounting member and the second mounting member to each other;
a fluid chamber whose wall is partially constituted by the main rubber elastic body with a non-compressible fluid sealed therein;
an oscillation member constituting another part of the wall of the fluid chamber; and
the vibration-damping electromagnetic actuator according to claim 1 being attached to the oscillation member via the movable member of the vibration-damping electromagnetic actuator so that oscillation force generated by the vibration-damping electromagnetic actuator is applied to the fluid chamber through the oscillation member.

6. An active vibration-damping device comprising the vibration-damping electromagnetic actuator according to claim 1 ,
wherein the stator is configured to be attached to a member subject to vibration-damping, and the stator and the movable member are elastically connected to each other by a support rubber elastic body.
