AC solenoids

AC solenoid features

The features of AC solenoids make them ideal for a wide range of applications. The main properties are:

Fast switching time: they can switch quickly and accurately, which is crucial in processes where timing plays an important role.
Large linear movements: AC solenoids can perform larger linear movements compared to many other DC solenoids. They are capable of achieving stroke lengths of up to 45 mm, making them suitable for applications where a larger stroke length is required.
Energy-efficient: once the AC solenoid reaches its end position, the current consumption automatically reduces. This means the solenoid is energy-efficient and generates less heat, contributing to a longer lifespan and lower operational costs.
No extra components needed: where DC solenoids often require a rectifier to convert the current, AC solenoids do not need this component. This simplifies installation and reduces costs.

AC solenoid applications

AC solenoids are often used in industrial applications where speed and power are central. For instance, they are frequently used in conveyors, where fast and powerful linear movements are essential for the efficient transport of goods. The power and speed offered by AC solenoids make them the ideal choice for these dynamic processes. Additionally, AC solenoids play a crucial role in automatic door systems, ensuring doors open and close quickly and efficiently. The fast switching time and large linear movements of the solenoid contribute to the smooth operation of these systems. AC solenoids are also widely used in heavy industrial equipment, such as presses and lifts, where large, repeated linear movements are required. Their ability to achieve larger linear movements with high energy efficiency makes them a valuable addition to machines that need to deliver high performance under demanding conditions.
