Quotation & Ordering

Solenoid Technical Considerations

There is certain information required when ordering solenoids due to varying electrical, mechanical and environmental conditions. Please include these details in your quotation request, more information is availble in FAQs.
 
Space Envelope
Specify maximum volume 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 cycle is expressed as a percentage of the on time in a total time taken for 1 cycle of operation. If in doubt specify maximum on time and minimum off time for 1 cycle

Power Source
Specify working voltage tolerances and any current limitations

Ambient Temperature
Specify working ambient temperature
