Next-generation solenoids draw less power and produce more force. Solenoids have long been used to control valves and fluid flow. A typical solenoid converts an input voltage to magnetic force that ...

The valves, which can move from fully-open to fully-closed in as little as 30 msec, reportedly can fit in a fraction of the package space ordinarily needed for comparably-rated valves using a linear ...

Available in ISO, miniature, 8-mm, and 9.4-mm versions, the 5F and 5J solenoid-valve connectors feature a fully molded design that enables superior environmental integrity over field wire versions.

The circuit in this Design Idea bootstraps a large capacitor in series with the solenoid to provide a large actuation voltage (Figure 1). This higher voltage provides substantially more current to ...

Printed solenoids offer potential for high performance, tailored design, and on-the-spot fabrication. Why 3D-printed solenoids are needed and viable. How an MIT team devised an innovative approach to ...

Two dual-position solenoid, air-operated pilot valves have been engineered to accept an extensive range of media up to 230 psi. Claiming the smallest size per Cv of flow (1/4" NPT 1.55 Cv) in the ...

Changing an air valve to update the overall system can be time consuming and costly. To simplify the task, engineers at Mead Fluid Dynamics Inc., Chicago (www.mead-usa.com), have developed the Isonic ...

Creating precision control circuits for fluidic applications in potentially explosive atmospheres just got a little easier. New, compact solenoid valves conforming to ATEX/IECEx as well as meeting ...

If you really think about it, starting our cars as easily as we do every day is something of a modern miracle. We jump into our vehicles, turn a key (or even just push a button on many occasions), and ...

The rising demand for advanced and automated vehicles, including electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles, is driving the need for more sophisticated solenoid components. WILMINGTON, Del., July 22, 2024 ...
