Solenoid Valves
A "solenoid" and a "solenoid valve" are two completely different things. The confusion is understandable because of the way different industries use their own jargon. Maybe this generalisation will help.
A Solenoid
An electro mechanical
device comprising an electrical coil and an integrated plunger or shaft which
moves and / or operates a mechanism. Exception: Holding Solenoids, which generate
a magnetic field to hold something in position. Tendency to be small and specially
engineered.
A Solenoid Valve
Basically a valve, often
pneumatic or hydraulic, sometime water, which is operated
by a solenoid coil fitted over the valve plunger. The product is 90% valve and
10% solenoid coil. Can be any size (say 1/8" to 2") and often a standard
catalogue product. Solenoid coils are generally replaceable items, and one design
of valve can use different coils for different voltages.
The Solenoid Company design and sell solenoids. If you need a solenoid valve then our parent company may be able to help from our own brand of pneumatic solenoid valves to special purpose process valves. Contact H. Kuhnke Ltd.
