ABSTRACT:
A bistable electronically controlled transducer having an armature reciprocable between first and second positions is disclosed including either a stressed spring or compressed air within a closed chamber in the transducer for causing the armature to move, and a permanent magnet latching arrangement for holding the armature in either one of the positions. An electromagnetic arrangement for temporarily neutralizing the effect of the permanent magnet latching arrangement releases the armature to move from one to the other of the positions. The transducer finds particular utility as an actuator mechanism for moving internal combustion engine valves.
