Abstract
The invention relates to an electromagnetic actuator arrangement comprising an electromagnetic actuator device (2), in particular a camshaft adjusting device, having a housing (4) and at least one armature unit which can be driven, in response to the energization of a stationary, axially aligned coil unit, in or parallel to the axial direction and which is designed to interact with at least one slide and/or tappet unit (6, 7) extending in the axial direction, in particular a tappet unit (6, 7) effecting a camshaft adjustment of an internal combustion engine, and at least one switching gate (12) which can be arranged on a slide cam (14) and through which a transverse central plane (56) passes, wherein the actuator device (2) comprises a detection device for contactless magnetic and/or electrical interaction with the switching gate (12), which detection device comprises at least one magnetic field and/or electric field detection means which is designed to produce and/or detect a detection field acting directly on the switching gate (12), and a detection field evaluation means (32) which is designed to determine the position of the switching gate (12) by means of the measured detectio…
