Here are a couple of ways to determine if an MDS solenoid in your 5.7-liter HEMI engine has gone bad and how difficult it is ...

In general, a solenoid uses electromagnetic force to move a plunger, thereby converting electric energy into mechanical motion. (“Electromagnetic” means it’s only a magnet when electricity is applied.

A proportional solenoid valve is an electromagnetic valve designed to respond to a variable power input to regulate the flow of liquid and/or gas proportionately. It is used to control the flow rate ...

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, ...

Since humans first starting playing with electricity, we’ve proven ourselves pretty clever at finding ways to harness that power and turn it into motion. Electric motors of every type move the world, ...

I recently wanted to try an automatic faucet idea again. I decided to employ a latching solenoid valve to control the water flow on that enhanced version. Luckily, after some searching, I was able to ...
