Linear solenoids, also called linear-force solenoids, are electromagnetic devices that convert electrical energy into a linear (straight) motion. These solenoids consist of a wire coil that generates a uniform magnetic field upon passing an electric current through it. Inside the coil, there is a movable metal core––a plunger or armature––which is pulled or pushed in a linear direction when the coil is energised. This motion is what makes a linear solenoid useful for various applications requiring controlled movement, such as opening or closing valves, actuating switches, or operating robotic components.
Why Buy Linear Solenoids?
Linear solenoids offer a practical solution for applications that need precise, quick, and repeatable linear motion. They can generate a significant amount of force, are built to last, are compact, and are affordable. In addition, linear solenoids respond quickly to changes in input voltages and can be customised to meet specific requirements.
Check Our Different Types of Linear Solenoids
Linear solenoids come in various types based on their configurations. Our range of linear solenoid types includes:
- Pull-Type Solenoids – A pull solenoid is designed to pull the plunger inward when energised. These solenoids suit applications where pulling force is needed, such as locking mechanisms.
- Push-Type Solenoids – Unlike pull-type models, push solenoids push the plunger outwards. They are useful in applications needing an outward force, like automated ejectors or pusher arms.
- Push-Pull Solenoids – A push-pull solenoid combines the features of both push and pull solenoids. These versatile devices can operate in both configurations and are often used where both forward and reversible motion are required.
Typical Applications of Linear Solenoids
