Turning Electrical Power into Mechanical Work

Presentation Agenda Discuss how a Solenoid Works Show some different types of Solenoids Discuss Applications for Solenoid use. Introduce Web Resources

How a Solenoid Works. Apply Current Magnetic Field Builds Stop and Plunger Become Attracting Magnets Magnetic Force Drives Plunger to Stop

Basics Types of Solenoids Push Pull Clapper Rotary Open Closed

Types of Solenoids Pull Solenoids Force is Directed Back towards Solenoid. Push Solenoids Force is Directed AWAY from Solenoid

Types of Solenoids Clapper Solenoids Typically Force application can be the same as a Push or Pull Greater amount of End Force/Hold Force

Types of Solenoids Rotary Solenoids Apply a Torque over a range of Rotation. Every Company has different ways to obtain the rotary motion.

Types of Solenoids Rotary Solenoids Other Configurations:

Types of Solenoids Open Frame Solenoids Closed Frame Solenoids or Tubular Solenoids

Typical Solenoid Applications Linear Applications Valve Actuators Latching/Switching Pushing/Pulling Objects Sorting Shutters Characteristics Size  as Force  Limited Stroke Lengths 5/8” is a Long Stroke

Typical Solenoid Applications Rotary Solenoids Sorting Machines Shutter Actuators Characteristics Strokes from 5° to 90° As Stroke Increases Starting Torque 
