Linear solenoid Explosion-Proof Solenoids

explosion-proof24-voltpower

Overview

ATEX linear solenoids (explosion-proof plunger solenoids) are specialised linear actuators engineered for safe use in explosive atmospheres. They minimise ignition risk by preventing sparks, electric arcs and excessive surface temperatures and are available with EU type-examination (ATEX) certification.

Applications

• Use in explosive areas and hazardous industrial environments where ignition risks must be minimised.
• Typical functions include valve actuation, safety interlocks and other linear actuation tasks in potentially explosive atmospheres.

Design and protection

• ATEX-certified linear (plunger) solenoid designs meeting requirements for explosive atmospheres.
• Construction avoids sparks and electric arcs and limits surface temperatures to safe levels.
• Enclosed coil and temperature-resistant components; housing options in steel and aluminium with protective earthing connection.

Compliance / Certification

• EU type-examination certificate (ATEX) for operation in explosive zones.
• Designed and tested according to applicable EN standards for explosive atmospheres.
