(SMALL) PUSH/PULL SOLENOIDS
(Small) "Push/Pull" is the most robust series of linear solenoids and is well suited for "heavy duty" applications. Their intelligent magnetical design allows for high holding force at a comparably low current. Therefore push pull solenoids are ideal actuators for applications for which power consumption and heat dissipation are critical.
We differentiate between "Small Push/Pull" and "Push/Pull" solenoids; the difference is related to the size and the mounting concept ("Small Push/Pull" use threaded holes in the base plate, "Push/Pull" have mounting studs). In the Push/Pull version there are two pole piece versions: flat for short stroke and high holding force, conical for longer stroke and higher starting force.
The following principal characteristics can be listed for (Small) Push/Pull solenoids:
- stroke up to 30mm (depending on type)
- holding force up to 2,000N (in end position, energized)
- high life time: up to 50 million cycles and more
- fast response time: switching time < 5ms possible (depending on size)
- standard sizes from 11mm to 874mm diameter
*ED is duty cycle as a %-value, the additional limitation is the max. on time per cycle!
