[Examples of Solenoid Applications] Audio Equipment, Tape Fast Forward and Rewind Devices

Examples of applications in fast-forward and rewind devices for cassette tapes, etc.

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.*
