Patent attributes
An electromagnetic coil assembly is provided. The electromagnetic coil assembly includes a bobbin, a coil of magnet wire and a cover piece. The bobbin includes a hub, a first flange and a second flange. The hub has a longitudinal axis. The first and second flanges are spaced axially from each other. The hub and flanges together define a circumferential bobbin channel. The bobbin is made from a material that is an electrical insulator. The coil of magnet wire is positioned around the hub in the circumferential bobbin channel. The magnet wire has first and second ends. The cover piece is self-supporting and is sized to extend circumferentially around the coil of magnet wire. The cover piece is resilient and exerts a compressive force radially inwardly on the coil of magnet wire.
