Push/Pull Solenoids

Geeplus’ push-pull solenoids incorporate an intelligent magnetic concept that allows a very high holding force at a comparably low power input. This makes them ideally suited for heavy duty applications, and those demanding low power consumption or low heat dissipation.

Our Push-Pull solenoids are separated into two product groups: “Push-Pull” and “Small Push-Pull” solenoids; the difference between the two versions comes down to the size and the mounting. Small push-pull solenoids have threaded holes in the base plate, while push-pull solenoids have mounting studs.

Like other linear solenoids, push-pull solenoids are on/off type actuators that develop force in one direction when energized. The return force must be provided externally, by a return spring for example.

NOTE: With Push-Pull Solenoids, the incorporation of a return spring is not recommended. Because an internal return spring will greatly affect the performance of these solenoids, it is recommended to incorporate the return force into the application as opposed to the solenoid if at all possible.

Properties of Push-Pull Solenoids:

• Holding force up to 2000N

• Stroke up to 30mm (depending on model)

• High life expectancy: Up to 50 million cycles+

• Fast response time: Switching times <5ms possible (depending on size and load)

• Standard versions from 11mm to 87mm (diameter)
