Abstract

A solenoid for a hydraulic valve has an armature chamber having chamber walls. A pole core forms one of the chamber walls and has an axial central bore. An armature is slidably arranged in the armature chamber. The armature has a central receptacle. An armature piston is arranged in the central receptacle of the armature and extends through the axial central bore of the pole core. The armature piston consists of a nonmagnetic material. The armature piston acts on a valve member when moved by the armature piston. The armature piston is a tubular member formed of a piece of planar sheet metal and has a radially outwardly projecting anti-stick disc that defines a minimal axial spacing between the armature and the pole core. The radially outwardly projecting anti-stick disc is formed as a monolithic part of the tubular member by parts of the sheet metal being bent radially outwardly relative to the tubular member.
