We supply a wide range of Low Profile
Solenoids in push and pull designs for short stroke high force applications.
These solenoids are widely used in applications such as valve operations, door
interlocks, card punching, and similar. Our low profile solenoids feature
holding forces up to 1300 Newtons, up to 270 Newtons Force at 1mm stroke, less
than 5 milliseconds response time for 1mm stroke under no load conditions, and
a conical pole face to allow increased stroke with minimal reduction in
performance. Full technical data is available on our website.

We supply over 34 different models, including:
'U' Frame, Magnetic Latching, Flappers and Miniature models which require as little as 1.5 cubic cm space volume. Our Open Frame solenoids are a cost-effective solution to applications where lifecycle and performance are not of major importance. Open Frame solenoids offer pull forces of up to 44 Newtons at 22mm stroke. Magnetic latching versions provide a high holding force at zero currents. Open Frame solenoids typically have a long life. Push types and customised versions are also available.

NSF supplies Magnetic Latching Solenoids which use permanent magnets together with the magnetic circuit board of standard DC solenoids. The solenoids pull and attract using only momentary pulse current and therefore offer a strong holding force without constant electrical power. A Momentary pulse operation as opposed to constant electrical power also eradicates any problems that arise from increasing temperature. They also retain memory during power loss. Magnetic Latching solenoids are released by supplying a reverse pulse of current. The operating load should always be greater than the Magnet Force.

NSF Controls makes available a wide range of unidirectional and bidirectional Stepping Solenoids. We offer the size 50 in either 12, 18, 24 or 36 positions. These stepping solenoids are ergonomically packaged and use a unique tooth clutch drive mechanism which provides a positive self locking drive. Highly cost-effective, our solenoids have a minimum life expectancy of 10 million steps in each direction in the bidirectional format. They facilitate over 25 steps per second in intermittent applications, have a simple pulsed drive circuitry, and offer non-accumulative accuracy of 1 degree over the lifecycle.
