ABSTRACT:
A solenoid for operating various devices, such as a reversing valve, and which includes a C-frame having a first non-magnetic bushing mounted in the bight portion of the C-frame. A coil assembly is removably mounted in the C-frame and is retained therein by a flux plate which is snapped in place between the outer ends of the legs of the C-frame and retained by a friction fit. The coil assembly is provided with retainer members that seat in retainer notches in the C-frame bight portion and the flux plate, for retaining the coil assembly against movement. A cylindrical, non-magnetic core guide is mounted axially through the coil assembly and has slidably mounted therein a solenoid plunger and a pole piece. A second non-magnetic bushing is mounted in the flux plate. The solenoid plunger has a reduced diameter outer end which is slidably mounted in the first bushing, and the pole piece has a reduced diameter outer end which is slidably mounted through the second bushing. A close tolerance is maintained between the inner diameter of the core guide and the outer diameters of the solenoid plunger and the pole piece, while a large tolerance is provided between the coil assembly and the core guide to permit the combination or assembly of the core guide, the solenoid plunger and the pole piece to float within the coil assembly. An operating shaft is slidably mounted through the pole piece and engages the inner end of the solenoid plunger. A spring has one end operatively mounted against the outer face of the flux plate and the other end attached to the pole piece for normally biasing the floating pole piece into an initial position.
