Continuous Duty Solenoids
Continuous duty solenoids are used in applications requiring the constant application of power to move and/or hold in set positions. This constant application of power causes the coil in the solenoid to heat up limiting the force for a given size. Standard continuous duty solenoid designs can compensate for this decrease in force by either increasing the size of the solenoid or providing for a higher coil temperature rise if the application will allow it.
Through our distinctive solenoid magnetic structure, TLX Technologies provides increased pull force for a given stroke compared to existing standard continuous duty solenoids. This technology allows custom solenoids engineered and manufactured by TLX to have equivalent forces while fitting into smaller packages.
-
Patented solenoid features allow for:
- Higher forces in the same package size or,
- Reduced solenoid size up to 25% vs. competitive designs for same force
- Strokes of .010” to .100” are typical, although strokes up to an inch are possible
- Response times down to less than 1 millisecond depending upon force and stroke
- Can be applied to work solenoids as well as valve applications
