Linear Solenoids - Open Frame

Open-frame linear solenoids, described as a solenoid with mechanically unprotected visible taped coils, develop linear force in a single direction, either push or pull when energised.

An open-frame design ensures the solenoid is light yet robust, designed for long service life and maintenance-free operation, providing excellent performance at a low cost.

Single shaft open frame solenoids provide either a push force or a pull force in a single direction only; double shaft solenoids offer push and pull functionality depending upon how coupled equipment is connected.

Some open-frame solenoids incorporate an internal return spring so that the solenoid shaft returns when de-energised. Others require a mechanical solution to return the shaft, for example, an externally mounted spring, gravity, or part of the automated process to allow the shaft to return to a start position.

Standard voltages are 24V DC, 100% ED rated with flying lead connections; other voltages, spring return options and alternative duty cycles for increased force are available upon request.
