Solenoid loads generally exhibitlarge hysteresis. Application ofthe rated voltage actuates these loads.Once they are in position, however, youcan use a significantly lower voltage tothereafter ...

Solenoid valves commonly control the flow of low-pressure gases and fluids in biological applications. A typical valve may operate at 12V and draw 1A. In systems using such valves, these power ...

Solenoids are used in many applications to provide linear or rotational actuation in mechanical systems. Although driving solenoids can be as simple as switching the current flow on and off, ...

Several years ago, Paul Rako, in collaboration with the late, great Bob Pease, wrote a terrific article about the finer theoretical and practical points of electromagnetic solenoid-driver circuits. 1 ...
