LINEAR AND ROTARY SOLENOIDS – FUNCTIONAL SCOPE
The basic principle of solenoids is the conversion of electrical energy into force and movement.
When the actuation process for automating a machine involves linear or rotary motion, be it simple on-off operation or more complex sequencing, solenoid are the best choice in terms of size, cost, simplified installation and ease of use.
Although solenoids basically function in much the same way, the resulting direction of movement can be different. It is determined by the type of mechanical assembly in which the electromagnetic circuit is housed.
open frame linear solenoid elettromagneti aperti lineariLinear solenoids provide a mechanical pulling or pushing force or motion dependent on the mechanical configuration of the unit, which can be unidirectional or bidirectional. Since the operation of linear solenoids is simpler than rotary, making them more cost effective.
Usually classified as pull, where the electromagnetic path pulls a plunger into the solenoid body. Or push type where the plunger / shaft is extended through the base of the solenoid to provide a push action.
Many varieties and configurations, including: Tubular Solenoids, Open Frame Solenoids, Low Profile Solenoids e Magnetic Latching Solenoids.
Example linear applications include door locks, control valves, pinch valves, interlocks, printers and diverters.
rotary solenoid elettromagneti rotativiOur range of rotary solenoids employs 3 inclined ball races to convert linear motion to rotary and e offer high-speed operation and strokes of up to 95 degrees of rotation. Their compact design provide higher starting force / torque than linear solenoids and can be unidirectional or bidirectional depending on the needs of the application
Example rotary applications include lasers, shutters, processing machinery, medical equipment, industrial sewing machines and diverter.
Our solenoids are manufactured by NSF Controls, part of the Comestero Sistemi Group since 1997
