Custom-engineered solenoids and valves for every system in the vehicle

Electric vehicle battery cooling plate with coolant

Multi-port switching valves and coolant controls route heat between battery, motor, and cabin on demand. Discrete proportional designs hold position without constant power, so thermal management never comes at the cost of range.

Blue DEF diesel exhaust fluid filler cap

From evaporative fuel systems to UREA/AdBlue dosing and high-pressure fuel inlets, TLX valves seal absolutely and meter repeatably across the full temperature and pressure envelope, where regulatory margins leave no room for drift.

Valve train

Precision solenoids for variable cam phasing, valve deactivation, and turbocharger control respond in milliseconds and hold position under extreme heat and vibration, helping engines deliver more efficiency and performance from every cycle.

Front wheel of car turned

Proportional solenoids and damping control valves modulate continuously to keep adaptive suspension responding faster than the road changes, engineered to survive millions of cycles in wheel-well conditions.

EV battery pack with orange high voltage cables

Latching battery disconnects hold state without continuous power and disconnect instantly under fault conditions, protecting high-voltage architectures without ever drawing on range.

Solenoids and valves for transmission fluid control, torque converter lockup, and park lock systems meter pressure precisely through millions of cycles in hot, contaminated oil, delivering the repeatability that consistent shifts demand.

Two cars post collision

Safety actuation gets one chance to work. Solenoids and valves for airbag inflation control and pedestrian protection systems fire reliably after years dormant, backed by 100% end-of-line testing and full lot traceability.

Flush car door handle

Latching solenoids for door locks and passive entry systems hold position mechanically without power and default to the safe state on the worst day, engineered around each platform's packaging and force requirements.

TLX Technologies is the go-to partner of the world’s top mobility brands, first-tier suppliers, and OEMs for the design and development of tomorrow's most innovative automotive and off-highway systems.

Complex Environments

Design and optimization of solenoids and valves for system applications that require high pressure, high speed, or extreme temperature specifications.

Better Performance

Precise control with high accuracy through tighter tolerances. Reducing friction and inefficiencies provides extremely low hysteresis.

Advanced Development

Advances in e-mobility and vehicle architectures provide opportunities to achieve intelligent and innovative solutions.

Reduced Power Consumption

Latching technology in solenoid and valve design minimizes overall power consumption.

Built-in Safety

Failsafe modes are designed into solenoids and valves utilizing integrated electronic controls.

Lighter Weight

Multiple variables in the design and manufacturing process are optimized to reduce overall weight and size of the solenoid or valve.

TLX Technologies partners with OEMs and Tier 1 system suppliers to develop new technologies for current and emerging vehicle systems. We serve as an extension of your design team to help develop custom solenoids and valves that give special consideration to performance, energy efficiency and weight.
