D-Frame Solenoid
A continuous duty solenoid that delivers a high pull force and a long stroke relative to its package size.
The D-frame solenoid was designed for a motorcycle air intake system. This solenoid was designed to tolerate contamination and deliver reliable operation under the temperatures, shock, and vibration of a motorcycle-mounted component. Even though the solenoid had a high pull force and long stroke, its current draw was low.

Designing a Solenoid for Unaccounted-for Corner Conditions
TLX Technologies designed a D-frame solenoid to replace an existing solution that did not meet space constraints and performance specs
Unlike standard, off-the-shelf components, TLX solenoids and valves are tailored to your application. Functionality, materials, and design are carefully balanced to meet your objectives, including:
Response Times
Whether slow or ultrafast, 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 of 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
Optimized for harsh temperatures, high pressure, and hazardous environments. Designed for chemical compatibility and contamination resistance.
