Patent ID: 10337484

Abstract:
A starter for an internal combustion engine may include a support, an electric motor for driving a pinion in rotation, and a solenoid drive configured to axially adjust the pinion between an active position for driving a gearwheel of an internal combustion engine, and an axially offset passive position. The solenoid drive may include a ferromagnetic solenoid housing fastened to the support, a ferromagnetic plunger stop arranged one of in and at the solenoid housing, a ferromagnetic plunger axially adjustable relative to the plunger stop extending axially through a passage opening of a face side wall of the solenoid housing, and a cylindrical coil arrangement arranged in the solenoid housing surrounding a cylindrical coil interior in a circumferential direction. The plunger stop may include a cylindrical section projecting axially into the coil interior. The cylindrical section may have a face end facing towards the face side wall.
