Where are solenoids used?
Typical applications: • Automated teller machines – Locking and feeding • Automatic sorting equipment – Accept/reject gates • Automotive – Central locking and gear shift locking • Business equipment – Locking, feeding and motion control • Camera/photo equipment – Shutter control • Compressor controls – Valve operation • Computer Peripherals – Paper feed • Fluid Control/ dispensing – Valve operation/shut-off • Gaming machines – Coin validation, locking and motion control • Vending equipment – Coin validation • What is a Stepping Solenoid Stepping Solenoids are available in 12, 18, 24 and 36 position designs, with uni-directional and bi-directional options. Known for their high torque-to-size ratio, the key to their superior performance is the exclusive tooth clutch drive. It has a positive action, self-locking drive that contributes to a greater usable torque output. For friction loads the clutch provides a positive grip (no slip) when driving inertia loads. The drive also acts as a bui
