Linear Solenoids

Linear solenoids are subdivided into:

  • Single-acting linear solenoids (solenoid force developed in one direction, return action is effected mechanically, e.g. with a coil)

  • Two-directional linear solenoids (motion is effected by specifically energizing the respective coil)

  • Bistable solenoids (switching is effected with a current impulse of varying polarity, the end positions are maintained without current)
