1. Turning Electrical Power into Mechanical Work

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

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

4. Basics Types of Solenoids
Push
Pull
Clapper
Rotary
Open
Closed

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

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

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

8. Types of Solenoids
Rotary Solenoids
Other Configurations:

9. Types of Solenoids Open Frame Solenoids
