Industrial Applications
Custom-engineered solenoids for whatever your process demands
Latching technology holds state without continuous power, enabling everything from secure equipment enclosures to battery-powered devices like smart water meters that operate for years between battery changes.
When a safety system triggers, the actuator cannot hesitate. TLX designs solenoids for equipment like industrial metal detection systems that respond instantly and reliably through millions of cycles, with 100% end-of-line testing behind every part.
Latching technology isolates power faults in switchgear and electrical distribution equipment instantly, then holds state without drawing power, protecting circuits and equipment where response time and reliability are non-negotiable.
From gas valves to precision metering in process systems, TLX valves dispense exact volumes and stop flow entirely when closed, engineered for the specific media, tube size, and cycle life the application demands, validated past a million cycles.
Solenoids and actuators deliver precise, repeatable force for industrial automation, from welding clamps that cycle thousands of times a shift to custom actuation wherever position and timing matter.
Equipment in explosive atmospheres, from paint spray operations to chemical processing, requires actuation certified for the environment. TLX designs solenoids to ATEX, IECEx, and UL HazLoc requirements from day one rather than retrofitting compliance at the end.
TLX Technologies is the go-to partner for the design and development of tomorrow's most advanced equipment and systems.
High Force, Long Stroke
When a high force coupled with a long stroke is required, custom solenoids designed by TLX offer an economical, long-lasting and durable solution.
Durable and Robust
To do the heavy work needed by many applications, TLX’s designs solenoids and valves for durability and strength.
Complex Environments
Design and optimization of solenoids and valves for environments including moisture, dirt and dust, vibration, and extreme temperatures.
Limiting Power Consumption
Solenoids and valves designed utilizing latching, peak & hold, or pulse width modulation control schemes to achieve minimal power consumption.
Minimized Footprint
Our engineers use their knowledge in solenoid design and materials to develop efficient solenoids and valves that utilize the best control scheme for your application, resulting in a minimized footprint.
Quick-Turn Customization
Depending on your application requirements, TLX can offer quick-turn customization on our existing solenoid base models, or if needed, a complete customization to meet your needs.
Designed for Heavy-Duty Applications
Heavy-duty industrial solenoids and valves developed by TLX Technologies are well-suited for applications requiring high forces and long strokes, are available in continuous, intermittent or pulse duty, and can be designed for either push or pull applications.
Additionally, some of our base models allow for quick-turn customization to meet your application. Quick-turn modifications include various coil voltages and insulation classes, mounting and plunger variations, spring returns and more.
