|
This general purpose "pull-type" solenoid offers a cost effective way of exploring one of the most common devices used in control systems. ( what is a solenoid ? ). |
|||||||||
|
As with most solenoids the
linear movement of the plunger is at its most effective the closer it is
to the fully "in" position. The figures given below in the specifications
justify this (i.e. 1320gf holding force and 120gf at 4mm). The
plunger has a machined internal thread to accept an M3 screw (supplied).
This makes it very easy to attach external mechanical parts. The screw
with washer also retains a spring (also supplied) used to provide the
"return" force for when the solenoid is de-activated. The diagram below
shows how this solenoid would be connected to the outputs of a MiniBee. |

The above connection details would also be true for connecting to the digital switching outputs on the following boards ... |

| BeeDriver, StepperBee, StepperBee+, MotorBee, WASP, RelayBee, MiniBee, DIO Slave, AIO Slave and Relay Slave | |||||||||
