Hello, Does this solenoid continue to stroke, Or could it be controlled with a gain +/- knob and have the ability to ease onto the load and return to 0 at a turn of the knob?
Hello - you can find the torque output on the data sheet found here: www.geeplus.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Bistable_Rotary_Solenoids_BRS1212-95.pdf
I may be able to replace a stepper motor/driver/controller with your actuator. a short stroke of 1/4" to 1/2" is all I need (could be more). I need to seal a Keruig style K cup lid to the cup filled with coffee. Your device would be attached above a heated sealing head that has 4 springs to cushion/absorb the stroke force. The approximate weight of my sealing assembly is about 10oz's. Need about 100 on/off cycles per minute. I can provide 24VDC from my devices PCB on/off switching. Your thoughts and recommendations would be welcome.
I want this in India, can you please help me in getting in touch with any local distributor here Mobile : 7019354505 ummar.khan30@gmail.com please contact me.
Hello Ummar, Your information has been passed on to our Geeplus Asia office! You can reach us from anywhere in the world at this link: www.geeplus.com/find-a-geeplus-representative/ Kind regards.
I am looking into actuators to open a tray, similar to how a CD or DVD drive would open the tray to insert the disk. Can this solenoid stay extended for any period of time? I mean, can the solenoid extend to open a tray (and stay extended) until a sample is loaded, and then retract (closing the tray) via the push of a button (say, powered via an Arduino)? 🤔
It depends on the volume--these parts go way down in higher volumes. Feel free to contact us here for a price quote: www.geeplus.com/contact-us/ (please specify your geographic location and quantity). Thank you.
I need a rotary solenoid to change the tilt angle on an FPV camera that goes on a quadcopter. It should be super light weight and have a range of at least 0 to 45 degrees, and be PWM controlled. choppergirl @ air-war.org
What is the main difference between VCA and solenoid? I always thought a single coil that is moved in a perm-magnetic field is the same as a solenoid? Is it safe to assume your VCAs are more suitable for higher frequency domains then the solenoid?
The VCAs, with a moving coil (as opposed to a moving plunger) supply far more precision and controllability than a solenoid, which is either 'on' or 'off.'
Hi, is there an email address that you can be reached at? If you don't want to post it, you can also enter it in the contact form at the bottom of this page (www.geeplus.com/super-stroke-solenoids/) and we'll send the info over to you. Thanks
There are no stupid questions here Ndoki! In this case, this type of solenoid is an on/off type of actuator, so it is basically either energized or not. With a return spring, the solenoid will pop back to the starting position when the power supply is cut off. To achieve the type of (proportional) movement you're talking about, would require the use of either a Proportional Solenoid or a Voice Coil Actuator. Both of these are typically quite a bit more expensive. Another option for less expensive, semi-proportional movement would be a Super-Stroke solenoid, which you can see here: www.geeplus.com/super-stroke-solenoids/
Are you able to manufacture a custom super stroke solenoid which has a stroke longer than 35mm(The current longest stroke you have amount all your lineups) Looking for either/both a solenoid capable of high speed extension with a decent size and load rating at max stroke (5kgs or higher)
Hi Wayne, this could be possible depending on a few factors: such as the duty cycle, voltage and force required. Also dependent on quantity, which would dictate whether or not customization would be financially feasible.
@@geeplus7017 Currently considering these solenoids for a custom project which has little to no data backing it so I am very much in the prototyping stage. As such, quantities would be 1 or maybe 2. On the contrary, what is the cost of a M380SS-XXv superstroke per unit and a 380-L per unit? Amongst the solenoids you offer, what would you recommend for my application (air piston pushing atm air through a cylinder,based on some airsoft technologies) Looking to adapt your solenoids to have an AEG system
@@geeplus7017 It would be viable to have a solenoid that runs on a 100% duty cycle to imitate the properties of how the force from a compression spring would be like. Power sources so far are narrowed down to hobby grade Lipos(3s (11.1V)or 4s (14.8V) with a voltage booster to keep the design compact.
One day everyone will realize the importance of efficiency in technology. In the future the solenoid motors or engines shall be the most convenent and useful for creating motion from energy with the minimal loses. They are fast, adjustable, durable,...
Diesel injection systems use solenoids to control the timing of the fuel injectors. It was very prevalent in the 90s-mid 2000s in hydraulic electronic unit injectors or HEUI. Caterpillar, International Navistar, and Ford used it extensively. In this system high pressure hydraulic oil acts on a plunger mechanism to squirt the fuel into the engine, the hydraulic oil flow was controlled by a large solenoid. Nowadays most diesels have moved to common rail systems where fuel is pressurized in a tank up to 35,000psi or 250 MPa then a piezoelectric valve controls a simple plunger valve for fuel injection. This is a common rail system.
Hello, we actually just received your inquiry through the Website also--it has been passed on to our engineering dept and a Geeplus rep will be in contact shortly!
A video showing recommended return spring layouts for these would be handy. I have one, and am planning to do some R&D with it soon, but need to work out a simple way to install a return spring on my Push style Geeplus actuator. It's very similar to the last one in the video, I'll see if I can put a spring in like that at the back.
Can you explain why the spring doesn't shoot the rod forward at full speed? I'm hoping to use something like this on a remote controlled relay that will automatically strike an old style bell, but to be able to do that, I need something that will hit it hard enough. I've tried a small 5v solenoid and it's just too small and the spring doesn't produce enough of a thud to make a good sound on the bell. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
The Super Stroke solenoid is a "pull" type of actuator, so the spring serves to slow the rod down to a speed semi-proportional to the current. A latching type of solenoid may work well for your application--this type of solenoid is locked in place by a permanent magnet, and release upon introduction of a current.

Hello Vikas, The M380SS 12v should satisfy your requirements (you can check out the data sheet here, if you like: www.geeplus.biz/FTPROOT/Super_Stroke_solenoid_M380SS.pdf). Feel free to shoot an email over to me at eddie.aucoin@geeplus.biz, and I can connect you to the right person to help you out further.
