Patent ID: 6848669

Claim:
An electromagnetic fluid controller comprising: a valve needle reciprocally situated in a valve body to close and open a fluid passage by being seated in and separated from a valve seat formed at a first end of the valve body; an armature fixed to the valve needle at an end of the valve needle opposite to the valve seat; a stator accommodating a bobbin around which a coil is wound, the stator being arranged such that the stator faces the armature by a spring force of a spring at a specified distance during deenergization of the coil, wherein a nonmagnetic material film is formed on at least one of abutting faces of the armature and the stator where the armature and the stator abut each other against the spring force of the spring during energization of the coil; and wherein a total thickness of the nonmagnetic material film is set such that an action force of magnetic attraction is equal to or lower than a specified value, the action force of magnetic attraction being caused by a residual magnetic flux generated between both the abutting faces upon deenergization of the coil.
