Compared to motors and the like, it has low power consumption and excellent economy! I will explain about DC solenoids.
A "DC solenoid" is an electrical component that generates a magnetic field by passing current through a copper wire, attracting a movable iron core (suction).
When current flows through the copper wire, the movable iron core is drawn towards the fixed iron core within the wire, and it is constantly attracted as long as the current is on; however, the attractive force disappears when the current is cut off.
By applying this operation, there are various variations such as a general pull (suction) solenoid, a push (press) solenoid that performs "suction = push" action by attaching a push bar, and self-holding solenoids that maintain their respective actions by incorporating permanent magnets.
**Features of DC Solenoids**
- **Versatility**: By changing the shape of the iron core, it is possible to modify the distance and attractive force.
- **Safety**: Even if the movable iron core stops midway, there is no change in voltage, ensuring safety.
- **Simplicity**: There is no inrush current, making power circuit design easy.
- **Quietness**: Unlike AC, it has a low-noise design that does not produce "hum."
- **Economy**: Compared to motors and other devices, it operates with low power and is economically advantageous.
