ABSTRACT:
An electromagnetically operated valve assembly for use in an internal combustion engine includes a valve, serving as an intake or exhaust valve, made of a ceramic material for reduced weight and good response in operation. The valve assembly also includes an electromagnetic actuator comprising a movable member mounted on the upper end of the valve stem of the valve and having a frustoconical flange portion on an end thereof, and a fixed member disposed above the movable member in confronting relation thereto and having a recessed portion complementary in shape to the frustoconical flange portion. With this arrangement, while the valve is made of a nonmagnetic ceramic material, a sufficient magnetic path cross-sectional area is maintained through the movable member without increasing the size of the movable member.
