Solenoid Housing and Method of Making the Same

摘要

The invention relates to a solenoid housing fabricated by a method which allows a manufacturer to produce a high performing product while minimizing manufacturing complexity and time. The instant invention uses cold-forging techniques to reduce the need for fine machining processes.

主权项

1) A method of providing a solenoid housing, comprising the steps of:
providing a cylinder of malleable material having a first part and a second part, said first part having a first-part perimeter and said second part having a second-part perimeter; reducing a size of the first-part perimeter to be less than a size of the second-part perimeter; compressing at least a portion of said second part in a direction towards said first part to produce a flattened disk; providing said cylinder of malleable material with a non-magnetic region; and extending a bore from said first part toward said second part to at least a distance beyond said non-magnetic region.
