Three-Position Push/Pull Solenoid
This continuous duty solenoid’s armature had three positions: centered, fully extended, or fully retracted.
The three-position push/pull solenoid used only one spring to hold the armature in the center position, which made it easier to assemble and improved the center-position tolerance. This solenoid had two power leads. When one lead was energized, the armature pushed (fully extended). When the other was energized, the armature pulled (fully retracted). When the solenoid was de-energized, the armature returned to the center position.
