Linear Solenoids

Linear solenoids are subdivided into:

  • Single-acting linear solenoids (solenoid force developed in one direction, return action is effected mechanically, e.g. with a coil)

  • Two-directional linear solenoids (motion is effected by specifically energizing the respective coil)

  • Bistable solenoids (switching is effected with a current impulse of varying polarity, the end positions are maintained without current)

Single-acting Linear Solenoid
Two-directional Linear Solenoids
Bistable Solenoids

Kuhnke manufacture all three types of solenoids shown here. Click on the heading shown to visit an explanatory page. This will show you the basic principles of each movement.
