How to extend the lifespan of a solenoid

By switching to molybdenum and Teflon treatment, it is possible to extend the lifespan!

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.
