• Solenoid Actuators

This system uses a solenoid and a projector for the quantitative filling of powder. The diagram shows solenoid (1) in an energized state and solenoid (2) in a de-energized state. When solenoid (1) is energized, the powder in the storage tank flows into the measuring cup. When the light beam from the projector is blocked by the powder, solenoid (1) is de-energized, and it moves to the left due to spring (1), stopping the inflow of powder. Next, to prevent the scattering of powder, the measuring cup and solenoid (2) descend to a certain position, after which solenoid (2) is energized, and shutter (2) opens. Once the powder in the measuring cup has completely flowed into the receiver, solenoid (2) is de-energized, and shutter (2) closes due to spring (2), while solenoid (2) and the measuring cup rise back to their original positions, completing one cycle. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

• Solenoid Actuators

This is an example of using two SDC-type solenoids in a device for sending and returning packaging bands. The figure shows that solenoids (1) and (2) are unenergized, and power rollers (1) and (2) are in a rotating state. By energizing solenoid (1), the feeding roller presses the band against power roller (1), causing the band to be sent to the left. By de-energizing solenoid (1) and energizing solenoid (2), the returning roller presses the band against power roller (2), and the band is returned to the right. By de-energizing solenoid (2), one cycle is completed, and the shaft stops at the midpoint. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

• Solenoid Actuators

This device is used for the fixed position of mechanical devices and for the extraction of index pins in positioning devices. The diagram shows the state when the solenoid is energized. The rotating plate is driven by a motor, but when the notch of the rotating plate approaches the fixed position due to the timing of the cam and switch, the solenoid is de-energized. The force of the push spring inside the sliding stabilizer causes the pilot pin to jump into the notch of the rotating plate, securing the fixed position. When driving the motor again, the solenoid is energized, and the pilot pin is withdrawn from the notch. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.*

• Solenoid Actuators

After automatically measuring the characteristics of the parts, if the characteristic is of type A, energizing solenoid (1) will cause gate (1) to lift, allowing the part to flow into the A characteristic passage. The same operation is performed for B and C characteristic parts, but for D characteristic parts, there is no need to operate the solenoid, and they naturally flow into the D characteristic passage. This diagram shows all solenoids in a de-energized state, and by energizing them, each gate will lift in the direction of the arrows, blocking other passages and ensuring accurate sorting. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

Dampers are incorporated into buildings for controlling air volume in air conditioning and boilers, as well as for preventing fire and smoke backflow in disaster prevention facilities, requiring them to be compact and operate reliably. The diagram shows a mechanism that rotates the feed gear through a lever, hinge lever, and rack and pinion, indicating a de-energized state. When energized, the solenoid operates in the direction of the arrow, and the valve moves to the dashed line position. When the power is removed, it returns to its original position due to the force of the return spring, but care must be taken to ensure that lateral loads do not apply to the movable iron core during operation. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.*

Automotive solenoids are required to be compact and withstand harsh conditions. The diagram shows a cylindrical solenoid in an unenergized state. When locking, the entire area within the dotted line is pressed down, and the hook engages with the fixed bracket to secure the lock. To unlock, the solenoid is energized from inside the vehicle or elsewhere. When energized, the lever is pulled, and the hook moves in a circular motion, disengaging the hook tip from the fixed bracket, while the entire area within the dotted line is lifted, unlocking the mechanism. By de-energizing, the hook returns to its original position due to the force of the spring. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

• Solenoid Actuators

When the seatbelt is pulled out and fastened, the belt's retraction spring may cause pressure on the body, leading to discomfort. This device is designed to alleviate that feeling of pressure. After the seatbelt is pulled out, the solenoid is energized, causing the lever to engage with the stopper, preventing the retraction of the belt reel. If you wish to stop using the seatbelt and store it, deactivating the solenoid will allow the lever to rise due to the force of the spring along with the movable iron core, causing the stopper to rotate in the direction of the arrow, and the seatbelt will be wound up and stored in the belt reel. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

• Solenoid Actuators

As shown in the diagram, the case is equipped with a locking hole, and it locks through the movable iron core of the solenoid. In the unexcited state, the solenoid is locked, and by exciting it, it enters the unlocked state. For applications where the unlocked state lasts for a long time, we recommend the KPS type solenoid. The KPS type is a self-holding type, so even when the excitation is released, it remains in the attracted state, resulting in low power consumption. To ensure reliable operation, it is recommended to attach a spring to the movable iron core for both types. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.*

• Solenoid Actuators

Individual key switches mounted on the keyboard require reliable operation, but testing the 20 to 40 key switches on a single keyboard randomly by hand is very difficult and not effective in terms of productivity. In this diagram, solenoids are installed for each key switch, and testing of the key switches is performed by randomly pulsing the excitation. When the excitation is released, the key switches return to their original position with the help of the springs attached to the solenoids. The tip of the solenoid's push rod has a striking part, so it does not damage the surface of the key switches. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.*

• Solenoid Actuators

The slide switch, which was traditionally driven by a mechanical mechanism, has been converted to solenoid drive, and this diagram shows the state without excitation. When the solenoid is energized, the movable iron core and the drive hook move in the direction of the arrow, operating the slide switch. The slide amount at this time is approximately 2 to 3 mm. When the excitation of the solenoid is released, it returns to its original position due to the spring built into the slide switch. This system has the advantage of being able to switch multiple circuits at once, but in response to the demand for power savings after excitation, using the KPS type (Key P Solenoid), which is energy-saving, is one method. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.*

• Solenoid Actuators

Generally, a stapler that is manually operated is equipped with a solenoid to make it electric, and this diagram shows the state without excitation. By exciting the solenoid, the punch metal and needle case are pushed down, and the tip of the needle case comes into contact with the receiving metal and stops. The punch metal is further pushed down, and the punch section pushes out the needle to complete the punching. By deactivating the excitation, the punch metal and needle case are pushed back by the force of the return spring and plate spring, and the hinge lever returns to its original position, completing the operation. In this usage method, since the stroke length is relatively long, care should be taken to make the connection between the movable iron core and the hinge lever a long hole, ensuring that the movable iron core operates smoothly. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.*

• Solenoid Actuators

Japanese typewriters have more characters compared to English typewriters, requiring each character to be picked up individually. Additionally, due to the long operating distance of the holder, a larger lever ratio is necessary. By energizing the solenoid, lever (A) is lifted around the pivot point, and lever (B) is pulled in the direction of the arrow. The holder picks up the imprint and rotates around the pivot point to print on the paper. When the energization is released, lever (A) descends, and lever (B) returns. The holder flips back to its original position while the platen advances one character in the direction of the arrow. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.*

• Solenoid Actuators

It utilizes the high suction power and instantaneous operation characteristics of the SDC-shaped solenoid. The solenoid, coupled via a lever, is energized and attracts instantly (within 30-50 ms), cutting the roll paper or tape. The solenoid can easily return to its original position by attaching a spring to the device. For the operation of the solenoid, it is desirable for the movable iron core to move as vertically as possible. Considerations such as making the connection hole an elongated hole facilitate smooth operation and extend the lifespan of the solenoid. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

• Solenoid Actuators

Here is an example of applying the SDC-type solenoid to paper feeding devices such as typewriters, fax machines, and printers. This device is used for advancing paper of a certain length in a stepwise manner, and the diagram shows the unenergized state. By energizing the solenoid, the lever is pulled, and the tip of the lever moves to a position where the pawl is advanced by 1 to 2 teeth in the opposite direction of the rotation of the feed gear. When the energization is released, the lever returns to its original position due to the force of the spring, and at this time, the feed gear rotates, causing the roll connected to the feed gear to rotate and feed the paper. If a large amount of paper needs to be fed, the necessary feed amount can be secured by applying pulses corresponding to that amount. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We will introduce an example of applying the SDC type solenoid to the locking device of moving mechanisms such as office machines and machine tools. The locking device plays an important role in ensuring the starting point of the moving mechanism, reliable stopping after reciprocating motion, and the reliable operation of switches that detect moving objects. The diagram shows the unexcited state, ensuring a fixed position. The table is locked by the force of the spring, and by exciting the solenoid, the lever moves in the direction of the arrow, causing the tip of the hinge lever to disengage from the edge of the table, thereby releasing the lock. After the table operates and the excitation of the solenoid is released, the tip of the hinge lever returns to its original position, locking the edge of the table while also ensuring a fixed position reliably. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.*

• Solenoid Actuators

Here is an example of applying the SDC type solenoid to a tape and card printing device. The movable iron core of the SDC type solenoid is connected to the keying part via a lever, which prints time and numbers. When the solenoid is not energized, the keying part is lifted off the tape (card) surface by a return spring, but when energized, the keying part strikes the tape (card) surface, printing the numbers (characters) from the printing drum onto the tape (card) surface through the ribbon tape. By de-energizing, the keying part returns to its original position. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

• Solenoid Actuators

Here is an example of applying the SDC type solenoid to tape and card punching. The SDC type solenoid is designed for good responsiveness and long life. The diagram shows the unexcited state, and by exciting the solenoid, the solenoid shaft moves in the direction of the arrow, punching the tape or card. When the excitation is released, it returns due to the return spring. In such usage examples, a long lifespan is required, but by applying special treatment to the movable iron core of the solenoid, a long-life solenoid can be achieved. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

• Solenoid Actuators

Here is an example of applying the SDC type solenoid to a lightweight item dispensing device such as for tobacco. The typical operating stroke of a solenoid is 3 to 10 mm, but when a long stroke of 60 to 80 mm is required, it is necessary to use levers and links to achieve the long stroke. The diagram shows the unexcited state, where the ejector is returned by a return spring. When the solenoid is energized, the lever is pulled, and the ejector moves in the direction of the arrow, pushing the item inside the case outwards. When the excitation is removed, the ejector is retracted and returns to its original position. If multiple items are needed at once, the required quantity can be obtained by sending a signal to the solenoid the corresponding number of times. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

• Solenoid Actuators

Here is an example of applying the SDC type solenoid to the change dispensing device of a vending machine and an automatic coin changer. The movable iron core of the SDC type solenoid is connected to a dispensing plate via a lever, which dispenses coins from the cylinder. When the solenoid is energized, the dispensing plate rotates at a certain angle in the direction of the arrow and sends out a coin through the dispensing hole. When the power is turned off, the dispensing plate returns to its original position due to the return spring attached to it. By providing some play in the connection between the lever and the dispensing plate as a long hole, smooth operation is achieved. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Here is an example of applying an SDC type solenoid for coin return in a vending machine. When coins are inserted into the vending machine and the power is off, or in cases of product discontinuation, this device returns the coins. The diagram shows the solenoid in an energized state. When the energization is released, the lever is pushed by the force of the spring attached to the solenoid, and the tip of the stop arm is inserted into the coin passage. The inserted coin stops at the tip of the stop arm and rolls out in the coin return direction. When energized again, the lever is attracted, and the tip of the stop arm is pulled out of the coin passage by the force of the spring, allowing the coin to pass through. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Here is an example of applying the KPS type solenoid (keep solenoid) to a display shutter. It features a movable iron core of the KPS type solenoid with a dial attached that has markings written above and below. The display changes from "Stopped" to "On Sale" when the solenoid is energized. At this time, even if the energization is stopped, the display does not change due to the self-holding of the solenoid. To release the self-holding and return to the "Stopped" display, a short reverse pulse can be applied. In this case, attaching a return spring will ensure more reliable operation. As seen in previous solenoids, there is no need to continue energizing, resulting in power savings. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

This is an example of applying the SDC type solenoid to a ball quantitative supply device for gaming machines. The diagram shows the solenoid in an unenergized state, where the stop lever connected to the movable iron core enters the groove of the stop gear due to the force of the return spring, stopping the rotation of the lead gear and halting the flow of balls. By energizing the solenoid, the stop lever disengages from the groove of the stop gear, and the lead gear begins to rotate. At this time, the count lever operates with each tooth of the lead gear and transmits the information to the counter. When the counter is set to a specific quantity and the solenoid is de-energized at that point, the stop lever enters the groove of the stop gear, and the lead gear stops. This enables a constant supply of balls. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Here is an example of applying the SDC-type push-pull solenoid to the ball payout device of gaming machines. The figure shows the solenoid in an unexcited state, with lever A connected to the movable iron core inserted into the ball case by the spring, preventing the balls from flowing out as a gate. When the solenoid is excited, lever A is pulled out from the ball case, and as the balls flow out, part B is pushed up by the push rod while performing a rotational motion around the pivot, causing the entrance gate of the ball case to close and preventing the inflow of balls. When the excitation is released, the entrance gate opens again, lever A is inserted into the ball case to close the exit gate, and the balls fill the ball case. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

We will introduce an example of applying the SDC type solenoid to the pause mechanism of cassette tape recorders and video recorders. This device is used when you want to temporarily stop the tape feed while using a tape recorder or video recorder, and it is done without operating the rotation drive source. The diagram shows the state where the solenoid is energized, the brake plate is separated from the feed roller, and the feed roller is rotating due to the drive roller. When the tape feed stops simultaneously with the release of the pinch roller along with the pause signal, the solenoid is de-energized, and the brake plate locks the feed roller with the force of the spring. As a result, the tape winding stops, and the tape comes to a complete stop. However, due to the clutch mechanism, the drive roller and the linked roller continue to rotate, and upon the release of the pause signal, the solenoid pulls the brake plate again, and the feed roller starts to rotate. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

• Solenoid Actuators

Here is an example of applying the SDC type solenoid to the fast forward and rewind mechanisms of cassette tapes. When using cassette tapes, fast forward and rewind operations are always necessary. The diagram shows an example using two solenoids, both of which are in an unenergized state, and the drive roller is at the neutral point. When solenoid (1) is energized, the drive roller rotates the feed roller, advancing the set cassette tape. When the energization is released, the drive roller stops at the neutral point due to the two springs. When solenoid (2) is energized, the drive roller rotates the rewind roller, rewinding the tape. By releasing the energization, the drive roller returns to the neutral point again. These two operations enable fast forward and rewind, but a brake operation is required in conjunction with each operation. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.*

• Solenoid Actuators

Here is an example of applying the SDC-type solenoid to the pinch roller mechanism of tape recorders and video recorders. This device is used for the pinch operation of tape recorders and video recorders, and the diagram shows the unexcited state. When the solenoid is excited, the movable iron core moves in the direction of the arrow, and the pinch roller performs a circular motion around the pivot point, pinching the tape between itself and the drive roller. At this time, since the drive roller is rotating, the feeding of the tape begins. The cushion spring adjusts the pressing force of the pinch roller. When the excitation of the solenoid is released, the movable iron core returns to its original position due to the return spring, and the pinch roller moves away from the drive roller, stopping the feeding of the tape. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Here is an example of applying the SDC-type solenoid to a channel switching device for multiple tracks and stereo systems. For multi-track tapes, such as car stereos, it is necessary to move the head up and down. The diagram shows a de-energized state stopped at a certain channel. By applying a pulse excitation to the solenoid, the movable iron core is attracted and returns to its original position due to the return spring. At this time, the feed gear rotates by a certain angle, which rotates the cam. As the cam rotates, the head is pushed down, but after the head is lowered to the lowest track, it returns to the highest track due to the shape of the cam. If a track two levels down is required for channel selection, a pulse will need to be sent to the solenoid twice. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

• Solenoid Actuators

Here is an example of applying the SDC type solenoid to brake devices such as player recorders. When the solenoid is not energized, the brake lining is pressed against the brake shoe by the return spring, and the brake shoe stops rotating. By energizing the solenoid, the brake lining separates from the brake shoe, allowing the brake shoe to rotate. When the energization of the solenoid is released, the return spring presses the brake lining against the brake shoe, stopping the rotation of the brake shoe. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

• Solenoid Actuators

A solenoid is a functional component that applies the principles of electromagnetism. The lifespan of a solenoid is greatly influenced by the mechanical wear of the sliding surfaces between the movable iron core and the guide (brass pipe). By applying treatments to reduce the friction coefficient at these sliding parts, it is possible to extend the lifespan. Generally, the movable iron core is nickel-plated and combined with an acid-washed brass pipe, with a lifespan estimated at 30,000 to 50,000 cycles. However, by applying various treatments to both the movable iron core and the brass pipe, the friction coefficient can be reduced, wear resistance can be improved, and the lifespan can be extended. [Methods to Extend Lifespan] - Change the surface treatment of the movable iron core and pipe to a more durable treatment. - Use the CA type. - Consider the installation method of the solenoid. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
