Abstract
A tool for assembling a part made of a ferromagnetic material with a part made of a paramagnetic material. The tool includes a first tool part including a first abutment and a first electromagnetic coil. The tool also includes a second part including a second abutment, wherein the second part is mechanically assembled with the first part such that the first and second abutments are selectively attracted or repelled with respect to each other. The first electromagnetic coil is used for generating an electromagnetic flux that enables the paramagnetic part to be pushed towards the second abutment and/or the ferromagnetic part to be attracted thereto when the first and/or second part is placed between the first and second abutments.
