Open Frame Solenoids are a basic, opened-coil type of linear motion solenoids. Due to their simpledesign structure, they are less costly, and are offered in a wide variety of sizes and types to bestmeet your application requirements.

This solenoid in particular is fairly small, with a 30mm long body and a ‘captive’ armature with a return spring. This means that when activated with up to 24VDC, the solenoid moves and then the voltage is removed it springs back to the original position, which is quite handy. Many lower cost solenoids are only push type or only pull type and may not have a captive armature (it’ll fall out!) or don’t have a return spring. This one even has nice mounting tabs, its a great all-purpose solenoid.

The tongue of the solenoid pops up when power is applied, as the internal coil generates a magnetic force to attract the tongue. This mini locking solenoid is perfect for locking a door or any mechanism. It has a quick respond time of just one second.

This solenoid in particular is nice and strong, which has a slug with a slanted cut and a good mounting bracket. It’s basically an electronic lock, designed for a cabinet, safe, and door. Normally the lock is active so you can’t open the door because the solenoid slug is in the way. It does not use any power in this state. When 9-12VDC is applied, the slug pulls in so it doesn’t stick out anymore and the door can be opened.

This is a 12V solenoid fluid valve with a 3/4 inch threaded inlet. The solenoid can be trigged with a 12V source.

Note:You will need to provide enough water pressure to fully activate the valve.

The casting of these Linear Actuators are completely sealed from the manufacturer with an IP54 degree dust and water vapor protection. These linear actuators uses a worm drive to move the shaft up back and forth along its length. The worm drive ensures that the shaft will hold its position even when unpowered. Two limit switches safely stop the motor at either end of its range, while diodes allow it to reverse direction after reaching a limit point.
