The solenoid consists of a coil of wire with an iron plunger that is allowed to
move through the center of the coil. The figure above shows the solenoid in the
un energized state.
Notice that the plunger is being held about halfway out of the coil by a spring.
When the coil is energized, the resulting magnetic field pulls the plunger to the
middle of the coil. The magnetic force is unidirectional a spring is required to
return the plunger to its unenergized position.
Solenoid converts electrical energy to mechanical energy and this energy is used to
operate a mechanical valve that is to open, close or to adjust in a position.
Still, there are many applications for short-stroke linear motion; examples
are activating electric car-door locks, opening and closing valves, and triggering
mechanical latches.
Most applications use the solenoid as a on or off devicethat is, the coil is
either completely energized or switched off. However, variable-position control is
possible by varying the input voltage.
How does a solenoid work?
A solenoid is simply a specially designed
electromagnet. A solenoid usually consists of a
coil and a movable iron core called
the armature. Here's how it works. When
current flows through a wire, a magnetic field is
set up around the wire.If we make a coil of
many turns of wire, this magnetic field becomes
many times stronger, flowing around the coil
and through its center in a doughnut
shape.When the coil of the solenoid is
energized with current, the core moves to
increase the flux linkage by closing the air gap
between the cores. The movable core is usally
spring-loaded to allow the core to retract when
the current is switched off. The force generated
is approximately proportional to the square of
the current and inversely proportional to the
square of the length of the air gap.
