RS stock a complete range of solenoid solutions.
Linear solenoids are made from a wire coil wrapped in a corkscrew around a moveable metal core.
Tubular solenoids also create a push-pull force on a metallic core, using much the same principle. However, the tubular solenoid is encased in a metallic sleeve, helping minimise magnetic flux leakage.
Rotary solenoids again utilise a wire coil around a metal core, but in this case the core is disc-mounted.
We also stock holding magnets and other solenoid accessories, including replacement solenoid spring kits.
AC laminated solenoids use an in-rush (instantaneous high input) current to deliver a large amount of force with their first stroke. Theyre used in electronic devices requiring immediate action, such as medical equipment, locks, industrial machinery and domestic appliances.
DC D-frame solenoids consist of a two-piece frame, designed to offer either push, pull, or push-pull forces. Theyre found in electromechanical relays, valves, and vehicle gear/transmission systems.
In our definitive guide, we look at what flow switches are, how they work and what they’re used for, as well as the different types that are available.
