Using Solenoids to Increase Safety in Hybrid Cars
A manufacturer sought a solution for disconnecting the battery of a hybrid car during an accident, without the possibility of the battery connecting again. TLX designed a custom latching solenoid that used residual magnetism instead of a permanent magnet; meaning once the solenoid unlatched, it would not re-latch without applying power.

Improving Welding Clamps with Latching Technology
A manufacturer needed to replace the pneumatically powered clamps that held material for welding. A custom latching solenoid provided both the locking and latching functions the manufacturer required. Permanent magnets latched the solenoids in a retracted position without consuming power.
Achieve Immediate Response in a Fault-Interrupting Device
These large latching solenoids with high latching force were designed for a manufacturer of high voltage power distribution equipment to disconnect power quickly to prevent equipment damage.
