Product overviewA push-pull latching solenoid is an electromechanical actuator that provides linear push and pull motion and remains latched in position without continuous power. A short electrical pulse changes the state; the plunger is held by a permanent magnet or mechanical latch, delivering an energy-efficient actuation suitable for automated systems and battery-powered equipment.
How it worksAn electrical pulse energizes the coil and moves the internal plunger to the push or pull position. The plunger is retained by a magnetic or mechanical latch so no holding current is required. A reverse pulse or a dedicated release coil returns the plunger to its original state.
Key features- Maintains position without continuous power (latching)
- Low heat generation during operation
- Fast response suitable for high-speed switching
- Compact footprint and low noise
- Long operational life (designed for high cycle counts)
- Configurable voltages, stroke lengths and holding forces
Industrial applications- Industrial automation: locking mechanisms, sorting and handling systems, robotic actuators, safety interlocks
- Access control: electronic door and cabinet locks
- Vending and dispensing equipment
- Medical devices and portable instruments
- Automotive systems: electronic latches, seat or transmission mechanisms
- Valves and fluid-control equipment, IoT and battery-powered devices
Advantages- Reduced power consumption (power only during switching)
- No holding current required
- Lower operating temperature and extended lifetime
- Precise positioning and quiet operation
Disadvantages- More complex and typically higher cost than non-latching solenoids
- Requires pulse-control circuitry (reverse polarity or dual-coil) in many designs
- Holding force depends on magnet/latch design and may be limited for very high loads
- Can be affected by strong external magnetic fields or mechanical shock if not properly protected
Troubleshooting- Verify correct supply voltage and pulse characteristics
- Inspect wiring, connectors and solder joints
- Measure coil resistance and check for open/short circuits
- Check for mechanical blockage, contamination or corrosion
- Confirm latch integrity and correct pulse duration
- Assess duty cycle to avoid overheating from excessive continuous operation
How to select- Specify required push/pull holding forces and dynamic push/pull force
- Confirm needed stroke length (3–5 mm typical for this model)
- Choose operating voltage (DC 12V or DC 24V) and acceptable current
- Define duty cycle, switching frequency and response time requirements
- Verify mounting dimensions, environmental protection and operating temperature range
- Perform prototype testing for force, durability and electrical behavior
