Solenoid Fundamentals: Ordering Information
The performance published in our data sheets is for guidance only as varying electrical, mechanical and environmental conditions will have an effect. For us to assist you in specifying the correct solenoid to suit your application, the following information needs to be determined.
SPACE ENVELOPE
Specify maximum envelope available. Remember the larger the solenoid the lower the current and operating costs. FORCE OR TORQUE REQUIRED
Specify initial requirements. STROKE
Stroke is expressed in degrees of rotation for Rotary Solenoids, and movement in mm for Linear Solenoids.
Specify direction and angle of rotation (viewed on Armature Plate) for Rotary Solenoids.
Specify Push or Pull operation and movement required for Linear Solenoids. DUTY CYCLE
Duty cycles is expressed as a percentage of the on time in a total time taken for 1 cycle of operation. If in doubt specify max on time and min off time for 1 cycle. POWER SOURCE
Specify working voltage tolerances and any current limitations. AMBIENT TEMPERATURE
Specify working ambient temperature.
