Linear Solenoids - Compact Design

Cylindrical linear solenoids with a fully enclosed coil produce significantly more force than open-frame designs and provide maximum protection because of their encapsulated coil construction.

Encapsulated solenoids are useful for high-power applications. The coil is protected and suited to arduous or exposed conditions where other solenoid designs would otherwise deteriorate, ultimately leading to failure.

RM20, RM26 and RM32 solenoids come with a double-threaded shaft providing a push or pull force in one direction when energised. An internal spring returns the shaft to its resting position when de-energised. The shaft is not removable.

RM040 to RM100 solenoids come with either a double shaft offering a push force, a pull force, or a single shaft for push-only applications. The solenoid shaft can be removed entirely from the casing for inspection or to assist in mounting the device.

A mechanical solution to return the shaft, for example, an externally mounted spring, gravity, or part of the automated process, is required to return the plunger to a home position.

RM series solenoids are nose-mounted. RM20 and RM26 solenoids come with a threaded nose, and RM32, RM040, to RM100 solenoids are provided with threaded holes at either end of the solenoid to secure the device to a surface.

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