Custom Solenoids and Valves for Industrial Applications

When you need a custom solenoid to fit your industrial equipment and system needs, TLX Technologies works with you to design the best solution.

Solenoid Pinch Valve

Accommodates tube sizes up to 10 mm in diameter in the same size valve body and closes with enough force to completely stop fluid flow.

Explosion-Proof Actuator with Supervision

UL HazLoc, ATEX, and IECEx certified for use in hazardous gas environments. Accommodates systems with operating pressures up to 300 bar.

High-Pressure Supervised Direct-Acting Solenoid Valve

This solenoid valve is designed for gas and hybrid systems with operating pressures up to 300 bar and features fully engaged installation detection.

Discrete Proportional Valve System

Uses only a short pulse of power to actuate and does not require constant power to maintain state.

Peak and Hold Control Module

The peak and hold control module allows any-size solenoid to operate at a higher force without overheating the coil.

High-Flow Discrete Proportional Valve

Designed to support applications with high flow rates at pressures up to 60 psi, with customizable flow characteristics.

Bistable Latching Solenoid

This light-duty solenoid uses only a short power pulse to actuate the armature and maintains position without constant power.

Low-Profile Latching Solenoid Lock

A two-position latching solenoid lock that drew no current to maintain either a locked or unlocked status.

Supervised Direct-Acting Solenoid Valve

This solenoid valve is designed for gas and hybrid systems with operating pressures up to 150 bar and features fully engaged installation detection.

Latching Diaphragm Solenoid Valve

This solenoid valve was originally designed for use with a smart water meter.

Long-Stroke Latching Solenoid

This latching solenoid needs no power to hold in either position and runs efficiently on 4 AA batteries.

Proportional Pressure Relief Valve

This direct-acting, normally open, proportional pressure relief valve can be designed to operate over various pressure ranges.

Coolant Control Valve

A continuous duty, normally closed valve that can control the flow of fluids with a maximum flow of 8 GPM.

Compact Latching Solenoid

This compact latching solenoid is a fully encapsulated design.

D-Frame Solenoid

This solenoid designed to work in the air intake stream of a vehicle and can be designed as a constant current or latching solenoid.

Three-Way Proportional Pressure Reducing-Relieving Valve

This proportional solenoid valve is a direct-acting, normally open, continuously variable pressure relief valve.

Proportional Solenoid Actuator

This proportional solenoid actuator (used to power proportional hydraulic valves in off-highway applications) is direct-acting and continuously variable.

Proportional Pressure Reducing Relieving Valve

This continuously variable pressure reducing relieving valve can be designed to operate over various pressure ranges to optimize controllability.

Atomic Layer Deposition Pilot Valve

A two-position, three-way pilot valve with exceptional performance including ultra-fast response, high operating temperatures and compact design.

Three-Position Push Pull Solenoid

This continuous duty “three-position” solenoid example features a push-pull from a center position and allows for a tighter tolerance.

Magnetic Locking Solenoid

Latching solenoids provide an excellent solution for applications requiring a fast response time and low power consumption.

Manual Reset Latching Solenoid

This solenoid does not need constant power to maintain position, releases quickly when activated, and remains in the released position until manually reset.

Miniature Latching Solenoid

Miniature solenoids provide options for applications with limited space or size constraints.

Latching Solenoid with Burst Pin

The latching solenoid is designed for fire suppression systems that require high force to penetrate a burst disc.

Miniature U-Frame Solenoid

This example of a continuous duty solenoid is miniature in size but with a relatively long stroke and high force.

Bidirectional Latching Solenoid

This solenoid’s low power consumption and compact design made it ideal for battery-operated applications.

Open Frame Latching Solenoid

A low-cost, compact, mechanically simple design that provided reliable performance and energy efficiency.

Heavy-Duty Latching Solenoid

This solenoid example utilizes a 100 ms pulse to latch and hold in position using a permanent magnet.

Intrinsically Safe Latching Solenoid

This latching solenoid featured high-speed plunger extension and was designed for safe use in flammable environments.

Large Latching Solenoid

This latching solenoid uses inherent residual magnetism or permanent magnets to maintain either of its positions without consuming power.

Pressure Release Solenoid Valve

This solenoid valve example is used for applications needing to quickly reduce pressure within an enclosed cavity or transmit fluid to another passage.

Pull Type Locking Solenoid

This example of a continuous duty solenoid remains in the locked position utilizing no power.

High-Speed Dispensing Valve

This is an example of a high-speed solenoid mated to a multiple port spool configuration for the control of output fluids to very fine parameters.

Miniature Solenoid Air Valve

This example of an ultra small solenoid air valve is suitable for a variety of low pressure applications.

Residual Magnetism Latching Solenoid

This solenoid example is a linear on-off design with a built-in latching feature that holds the solenoid in position using residual magnetism.

Three-Position Latching Solenoid

This latching solenoid is an example of a three-position device with spring center and latch to end positions.

Latching Solenoid

Uses only a short power pulse to actuate and maintains position without constant power.

Miniature Manual Reset Latching Solenoid

This latching solenoid example is manually actuated and holds without the use of power making it ideal for applications requiring low power consumption.
