Abstract

A proportional activation magnet (1) for a hydraulic solenoid valve has a pole (3) with a valve cone receiving bore (17) for receiving a valve cone (20) and a pole tube (14) for receiving an armature (30). An armature tappet (33) extends between the armature (30) and valve cone (20). A retention area (35) with a tappet passage opening (36) is provided around the armature tappet (33) in a region between the valve cone receiving bore (17) and pole tube (14). An annular gap with a predefined gap width is formed between the inside of the tappet passage opening (36) and the outside of the armature tappet (33) which extends in the tappet passage opening (36).
