Industrial Solenoids

Please visit our website to view our range of industrial solenoids. Items within the range include a selection of AC and DC Linear – Open Frame solenoids of various sizes, DC Latching – a selection of electromagnetic and permanent magnets, Electromagnets, Shotbolt – for interlocking and locking movable guards, a range of Industrial Solenoids with IP40 protection, Specials – customised solutions to suit specific requirements, and Electromagnetic – door holders for fire protection that conform to EN 1155/ BS 5839 part 3 standards.

MEC@Fire — Fire Protection Systems

Our MEC@Fire range of fire protection systems is available in 24DC or 240VAC. These electromagnetic door holders have been designed for effective fire protection. They are fitted with a spring loaded device which is designed to eliminate the residual magnetism. Door holders are commonly linked to automatic fire systems that will release the door by switching the power off, however, as an alternative the door can be manually operated via a release button. The MEC@Fire range can be flush mounted, surface mounted or floor mounted to suit your requirements. Please get in touch for more information.

AC and DC Linear

Our range of AC and DC linear (open frame) solenoids are used in a wide range of industries for all kinds of applications. These solenoids provide simple and effective solutions and are available in a range of sizes. Coil leads on all solenoids are 200mm free length and can also be cut to length to meet specific requirements. Please visit our website to view our selection of solenoids and to download datasheets for detailed information.

Shotbolts

Electromagnetic shotbolts are used for applications where doors or guards need to be locked in place. Our range of electromagnetic shotbolts is manufactured with a solenoid that operates the bolt by locking or unlocking the return spring. Various models are also fitted with position detectors which also include positively forced open contacts and are mechanically actuated in the positive mode. Our shotbolts are fire protection rated and are designed and manufactured to be sturdy and long-lasting.

DC Latching

Our latching solenoids feature a combination of the electromagnetic solenoid and permanent magnets. To hold the solenoid closed, an electrical pulse is applied to a solenoid coil and when the pulse stops, the internal permanent magnets hold the solenoid in its closed position. An electrical pulse of opposite polarity is applied to the circuit to reverse the solenoid position. Please view our range of DC latching solenoids online. DC latching solenoids provide excellent solutions for many applications, however there is a limit to the amount of power that can be applied and conventional solenoids may be a better solution. Please contact our technical team for advice and information.

Electromagnet

Electromagnets feature a magnetic field that is produced by the flow of electric current. When the electric current is turned off the magnetic field disappears. We supply a range of high quality electromagnets with holding force power on and power off. Maximum holding forces are achieved with a flat surface that has a dimension greater or equal to the holding force. Please visit our website for detailed information regarding our range of electromagnets.
