The TLX Advantage
Our 150 years of combined experience in designing and building custom solenoids and valves helps TLX Technologies produce solutions with fast response times, high efficiency, precise positioning, high and low temperature tolerance and a small footprint – all for a competitive price.
Your Design Partner for Custom Solenoids and Valves
Unlike standard, off-the-shelf components, TLX solenoids are tailored to your application. Functionality, materials and design are carefully balanced to meet your objectives, including:
- Response Times
- Whether slow or ultra-fast, TLX optimizes design geometry and magnetic field shaping to achieve your required response time.
- Targeted Force and Stroke
- Careful design of internal components allows shaping of the force curve to closely match your desired load force and stroke requirement.
- Size Constraints
- A variety of design techniques are utilized to maximize magnetic force while reducing size (up to 25% smaller than competing designs).
- Limiting Power Consumption
- Designing with magnetic latching or peak & hold operation in the solenoid or valve minimizes overall power consumption.
- Functionality
- Designed to operate with continuous, intermittent, latching or proportional functionality. Optional integration of smart device feedback capabilities.
- Environmental Considerations
- Harsh environments including temperature, pressure, and hazardous locations. Custom solenoids and valves designed to meet your requirements for chemical compatibility and contamination resistance.
