Solenoids use electromagnetic principles to produce linear motion when supplied with electrical current. This causes a core or armature to be pulled into the magnetic field. When the current flow is interrupted, the armature returns to its original starting position. Similar to rotary solenoids, linear solenoids are used in various industries such as automation technology, medical technology and the automotive industry.
For example, linear solenoids are integral components in diverse systems, from automated door locks to precision controls in industrial applications. Ease of use, combined with effective and fast operation, establishes solenoids as key components in numerous mechanical and electronic designs.
