5 SIMPLE uses of solenoids in everyday life?

Pinch

In medical equipment, tubes carrying body fluids must have accurately controlled flow regulation. In this example, a Linear solenoid is utilized for its variable positioning capability to smoothly pinch the tube to the operator’s precise demand. Using a solenoid in this manner eliminates valves and other connecting apparatus which pose a threat for contamination or leakage.

Divert

Gate diverters, depending on the application, can be used continuously or very infrequently. In this example, a Rotary Solenoid is chosen for its 100+ million actuation life rating

Exceptional Force or Torque

A linear solenoid can provide up to 30 pounds of force from a unit less than 2-1/4 inches long. A rotary solenoid can provide well over 100 lb-in of torque from a unit also less than 2-1/4 inches long.

Variable Positioning

Soft Shift® solenoids for linear solenoid applications and BTA® Brushless Torque Actuators for rotary solenoid applications provide variable positioning capabilities.

High Speed

Solenoids can be actuated in milliseconds, or can be velocity controlled to provide smooth, noiseless actuation.

Minimum Size

Need low profile? Minimum volume? Small frontal area? Solenoids can pack more work per cubic inch than motors.

Simplified Control

Being a pulsed device with minimal components optimizes solenoids for digital control. This results in faster cycling and higher reliability with fewer interfaces.

Uncompromising Reliability

Solenoids provide repeatable, predictable performance with a specified life of up to 100 million cycles.

Kick

Solenoid snap-acting response and electric operation are beneficial for part rejection processes in which electronic interfacing with a photosensor or some other sensor is required

Lock/Latch

Low cost, compact size, reliability, and long life are all reasons for the growing demand for solenoids in a wide variety of locking applications from vault doors, cash registers, disk drives and missile systems.

Position

Positioning applications can range from a simple ratcheting device, such as this, to precise variable positioning using linear Soft Shift® solenoids or rotary BTA® solenoids.

A relay uses a solenoid to open and close a switch. Most home heating systems have a thermostat that uses a temperature change operates a low-power switch. That switch controls a relay that controls the heating system. Automobiles use relays to turn heavy loads on and off using a light-duty switch. The starter and the headlights are controlled by relays. Relays are also used to control complicated sequences and things that are partly electronically controlled. Automobiles often have a number of relays used that way.

A solenoid valve uses a solenoid to open and close a valve electrically. Solenoid valves control the water in dishwashers, laundry washers, refrigerator ice makers and water dispensers. A solenoid valve controls the flow of gas in a furnace.

In apartment buildings a solenoid is used to operate a door lock in places where a tenant can press a button in their apartment to let someone come in the main entrance. Motel room locks that have a key card use a solenoid to unlock the door when the card is inserted. Automobile door locks and trunk latches work the same way.
