Case Studies
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.
Integrated Supervision for Fire Suppression Systems
A latching actuator with an integrated supervisory feature to satisfy standards and codes in the gaseous extinguishing market.
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.
Locking Solenoids for Metal Detection Systems
A manufacturer of metal detection equipment required a component to activate a failsafe system when metal was detected in the product stream. The solution needed an extremely fast response time to immediately stop equipment when metal was detected.
Automating Support in Running Shoes with Solenoids
A manufacturer of running shoes wanted their shoes to automatically adjust to the speed of the wearer, providing additional comfort and support. TLX designed a miniature solenoid air valve with magnetic latching technology to integrate into the shoe’s cushioning system.
Securing Expensive Classroom Equipment
Smart classrooms provide teachers with the tools to give students a more enriching learning experience. While these high-tech resources provide a more robust learning experience, they also create additional security concerns.
Latching Technology Used to Isolate Power Faults
A robust latching solenoid was designed with a manual reset feature for a manufacturer of medium voltage power distribution equipment who needed a solution for actuating the fault interrupter in a padmount switchgear.
Solenoids Can Improve the Security of Your System
A leading computer manufacturer needed a security device to prevent hardware theft. TLX Technologies decided a two-position latching solenoid was the best solution because of its low power requirement.
