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.
Custom Solenoids and Valves for On-Off Applications
On-Off solenoids are used in applications requiring the constant application of power to move and/or hold in set positions. This constant application of power causes the coil in the solenoid to heat up limiting the force for a given size. Standard on-off solenoid designs can compensate for this decrease in force by either increasing the size of the solenoid or providing for a higher coil temperature rise if the application will allow it.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Coolant Control Valve
A continuous-duty, normally closed valve with a maximum flow rate of 0.5 L/s.
Solenoid Vent Valve
A normally closed, three-way valve with an integrated check valve.
D-Frame Solenoid
A continuous duty solenoid that delivers a high pull force and a long stroke relative to its package size.
Three-Position Push/Pull Solenoid
This continuous duty solenoid’s armature had three positions: centered, fully extended, or fully retracted.
Miniature U-Frame Solenoid
A tiny solenoid about the size of a penny that had a long stroke relative to its package size.
Pressure-Release Solenoid Valve
A high-temperature on/off solenoid valve that reduces pressure inside a closed cavity.
Pull-Type Locking Solenoid
A continuous duty solenoid that was designed as a security device for a commercial furniture systems manufacturer.
High-Speed Dispensing Valve
A high-speed solenoid valve that dispensed hot- and cold-melt adhesives.
Miniature Solenoid Air Valve
A small solenoid valve that was suitable for low-pressure applications.
