Bi-directional Linear Solenoids

Bi-directional solenoids are constructed using two separate coils housed within one enclosure; they provide fast two-directional linear force.

The shaft reciprocates by alternating the power to the respective solenoid coil, providing a push and a pull function. On removing power from the solenoid, the shaft moves freely and does not latch. See bistable solenoids for latching variants.

Within this range are light-duty open-frame and heavy-duty square profile designs. Both are body-mounted or a compact cylindrical design which is nose-mounted.

Bi-directional solenoids come with a double shaft with 3mm to 8mm stroke lengths.

Standard voltages are 24V DC, 100%ED rated with flying leads or a plug connection; other voltages or duty cycles for increased force are available on request.
