Open-Frame Linear DC Solenoids
Johnson Electric’s linear open-frame solenoid technology consists of an open iron frame, an overmolded or taped coil, and a movable plunger in the center of the coil. This platform is available in AC and DC versions and in two frame styles, the C-Frame style, in which the coil is enclosed only on one side, and the Box-Frame style in which the coil is enclosed on two sides. The Box-Frame style provides slightly higher force output and higher resistance to environmental conditions. Open-Frame Solenoid technology offers an economical design for high-volume applications, continuous or intermittent duty, and on/off operation common in applications such as vending machines and automated door locks. This technology offers life up to 5 million cycles and a variety of size, force, and stroke options. Custom designs can significantly increase life performance.
