  2. Solenoid (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solenoid_(engineering)

    The solenoid can be useful for positioning, stopping mid-stroke, or for low velocity actuation; especially in a closed loop control system. A uni-directional solenoid would actuate against an opposing force or a dual solenoid system would be self cycling. The proportional concept is more fully described in SAE publication 860759 (1986).

  3. Starter solenoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starter_solenoid

    The starter motor is a series, compound, or permanent magnet type electric motor with a solenoid and solenoid operated switch mounted on it. When low-current power from the starting battery is applied to the starter solenoid, usually through a key-operated switch, the solenoid closes high-current contacts for the starter motor and it starts to ...

  4. Solenoid valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solenoid_valve

    Solenoid valves are also characterized by how they operate. A small solenoid can generate a limited force. An approximate relationship between the required solenoid force F s, the fluid pressure P, and the orifice area A for a direct acting solenoid valve is: [3] = = where d is the orifice diameter.

  5. Solenoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solenoid

    A finite solenoid is a solenoid with finite length. Continuous means that the solenoid is not formed by discrete coils but by a sheet of conductive material. We assume the current is uniformly distributed on the surface of the solenoid, with a surface current density K ; in cylindrical coordinates : K → = I l ϕ ^ . {\displaystyle {\vec {K ...

  6. Electrohydraulic servo valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrohydraulic_servo_valve

    Electrohydraulic servo valves may consist of one or more stages. A single-stage servo valve uses a torque motor to directly position a spool valve. Single-stage servo valves suffer from limitations in flow capability and stability due to torque motor power requirements.

  7. Variable force solenoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_force_solenoid

    A variable force solenoid (VFS) is an electro-hydraulic device that controls pressure proportionally or inversely proportionally to a signal (voltage or current) obtained from the on-board controller of a powertrain. A low flow VFS is used as a signal level devices for transmission line pressure control or application of clutches.

  8. Transmission solenoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_solenoid

    A transmission solenoid or cylinoid is an electro-hydraulic valve that controls fluid flow into and throughout an automatic transmission. Solenoids can be normally open or normally closed. They operate via a voltage or current supplied by the transmission computer or controller.

  9. Linear actuator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_actuator

    One of the basic differences between actuators is their stroke, which is defined by the length of the screw and shaft. Speed depends on the gears that connect the motor to the screw. The mechanism to stop the stroke of an actuator is a limit or micro switch, which can be seen in the image below.
