A pull solenoid draws the plunger into the coil when energized, while a push solenoid extends the plunger outward. Many designs are convertible, but the internal spring and plunger geometry are optimized for one direction.
Solenoids Component Intelligence
Precision electromagnetic actuators for linear motion and locking mechanisms.
What are Solenoids components?
Solenoids convert electrical energy into mechanical motion via an electromagnetic coil. Choose based on stroke length, duty cycle, force requirements, and mounting constraints. Always account for back-EMF suppression in your driver circuit to protect control electronics.
How to Choose Solenoids Components
Selecting the right solenoid requires balancing mechanical output with electrical constraints.
Duty Cycle
Determine if the solenoid is continuous or intermittent; exceeding the duty cycle will cause thermal failure.
Stroke and Force
Force is non-linear; ensure the force-stroke curve meets your load requirements at the end of the stroke.
Mounting Geometry
Select between tubular, open-frame, or rotary packages based on your enclosure and mechanical linkage.
Voltage and Current
Match the coil voltage to your supply and ensure the driver can handle the inrush current.
Environmental Rating
Consider IP ratings and temperature ranges if the solenoid operates in harsh or outdoor environments.
