Anywhere a small movement is required that can be powered electrically is a potential application for a solenoid from Bicron. From a simple locking function to a laser application or release mechanisms for aircraft, solenoids find their use in almost too many industrial, medical and military applications to mention.
Typical solenoid applications include:
-
Hydraulic or pneumatic valves
-
Automatic locking mechanisms
-
Medical applications; long-life flow control
-
Automotive gear box drive selectors
-
Industrial equipment; poistioning, pinching, holding, rotating, diverting, valve operation
-
Railway; remote safety locks, electronic switch for passenger control, power distribution
-
Irrigation; water pressure control
-
Aircraft; release mechanisms
-
Military; ammunitions loading systems
