UNDERSTANDING SOLENOIDS:DEVELOPMENT AND SUPPORT FOR BETTER SOLUTIONS

Our core competence is the joint development of solenoids solutions that focus precisely on your application-specific problem matrix. At the same time, they deliver cost-effective volume production for us and for yourselves. Our responsive development teams are made up of dedicated experts at the top of their fields, able to set new benchmarks for solenoids technology time and again.

On this page, we focus on the important things to know about solenoids. The aim being to give you an initial understanding of the topic, so that you are better able to evaluate the benefits of using this technology in your application. Below you will find an overview of types of magnet. 

Contact us to evaluate your specific requirements on a joint basis and to devise the optimum solution for your application.

This is what you gainAdvantages solenoids

Electromagnetic systems compete with an immensely wide variety of actuator principles such as electric motors, piezo actuators or pneumatic systems. Solenoids can be characterised as having the following advantages:

  • Short switching times and good dynamic properties
  • Simple mechanical design
  • Direct drive
  • Good scope for integration in relation to design and interfaces
  • Flexible in relation to ambient conditions (temperature range and protection classes)
  • Simple electrical control
  •  Maintenance-free
