  • How to Select a Linear Solenoid / Linear Actuator
    There are a number of different factors that can influence the choice of a linear solenoid or actuator; the goal of the selection process is to identify the least expensive device that will satisfy the requirements of the application. The graphic below is a good place to begin. While factors
  • The 5 Best Industry Applications For Linear And Rotary Solenoids
    Electromechanical devices (e.g., linear and rotary solenoids) play a tremendous role in manufacturing processes and thousands of consumer products which make our lives easier and more productive. Both linear and rotary solenoids operate by converting an electrical signal into a magnetic field
  • Proportional Solenoids: Technical Overview
    Proportional Solenoids are linear actuators with a force proportional to the current in a limited range. With the addition of a return spring in your application you can make the proportional solenoid into a positioning device, where the position is depending on the input current to the coil
  • Solenoids: Principle of Operation
    Why use solenoids?. Actuation for machine and process automation must range from the most basic on-off function to extremely complex sequencing. When the process involves linear or rotary motion, solenoids are among the best actuation devices in terms of size, cost, simplified installation and ease
  • Solenoids: Principle of Operation for Engineers
    Why use solenoids?. Actuation for machine and process automation must range from the most basic on-off function to extremely complex sequencing. When the process involves linear or rotary motion, solenoids are among the best actuation devices in terms of size, cost, simplified installation and ease
  • The History of the Rotary Solenoid
    Rotary solenoids are electromechanical devices used for a variety of applications. They have a strong connection to Dayton and are vital for long life operation in challenging environments. What, Exactly, is a Rotary Solenoid?. A rotary solenoid uses three ball bearings to convert linear motion
  • Linear Actuators for High-Speed Low-Load Applications
    A number of medical applications need high-speed actuation in the lower load band. Many OEMs use pneumatic actuators or electric solenoids for this purpose; however, these options do not provide precise positioning. And although more expensive technology such as servo pneumatic positioning systems
  • Voice Coils vs. Solenoids: What is the Difference?
    The question of whether to use voice coil actuators or solenoids for small displacement motion control applications comes up often. This article explains the key differences between each product and why you might choose one over the other for your application. A non-commutated DC linear actuator
