Patent ID: 8134436

Claim:
A linear solenoid comprising: a coil to generate a magnetic force by being supplied with electricity; a tube-shaped coil accommodation resin to accommodate the coil; a cup-shape yoke made of magnetic member to cover an outer periphery of the coil, the cup-shape yoke having a bottom and an opening opposite from each other in an axis direction; a stator core made of magnetic member integrally having a magnetism attraction core fixed to an edge of the opening of the yoke, a magnetism transmittance core having an end portion unfixed to the bottom of the yoke, and a magnetism blocker located between the attraction core and the transmittance core, the unfixed end portion of the transmittance core being arranged to pass through the coil accommodation resin in the axis direction; a plunger to directly slide on an inner circumference face of the transmittance core in the axis direction; a ring core made of magnetic member located between the coil accommodation resin and the bottom of the yoke in the axis direction; and a biasing portion to bias the ring core onto the bottom of the yoke in the axis direction, wherein the ring core has an attachment portion to which the biasing portion is attached, and is fitted around an outer circumference face of the transmittance core so as to transmit magnetic flux with the transmittance core in a radial direction and so as to transmit magnetic flux with the bottom of the yoke in the axis direction, the attachment portion is located on an outer circumference side of the ring core, and is located adjacent to the coil, the biasing portion is configured to shorten a dimension of the ring core in the axis direction only on the outer circumference side, and the biasing portion is located between the attachment portion of the ring core and the coil accommodation resin in the axis direction.
