Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9923674A1] The present invention is a two or more-piece cascading armature for use in a solenoid. The cascading armature comprises a core (174) of conductive material slidably disposed within at least one conductive sleeve (176), which, in turn, is disposed in the solenoid housing. The core and sleeve are operably linked. In various embodiments, the cascading armature may contain multiple conductive sleeves in varying sizes and proportions to the core. When the cascading armature is installed in the conductive housing, both the sleeve rim (179) and the core face (172) are presented to the pole member face across the working air gap. In the deactivated position the working air gap is different for the core and the sleeve because the rim of the sleeve extends beyond the core and is accordingly closer to the pole member face than the core.
