Solenoids

What are Solenoids?

solenoid is a type of electromagnet formed by a helical coil of wire. When an electric current passes through this coil, it generates a controlled magnetic field. Here are some key points about solenoids:

  • Structure: A solenoid typically consists of a long piece of wire wound into a coil. The length of the coil is substantially greater than its diameter 
  • Magnetic Field: The electric current flowing through the coil produces a uniform magnetic field inside the solenoid. This field can be used to create linear motion or to control other magnetic fields
  • Applications: Solenoids are widely used in various devices, including car starters, doorbells, and washing machines. They convert electrical energy into mechanical energy, making them essential in many electromechanical systems

Crouzet AC Synchronous and DC Stepper Motors for All Needs

Crouzet sync & stepper motors

AC Synchronous Motors

AC Synchronous Motors are the best solution for applications that require constant movement and a low torque, like in in medical equipment, valves, pumps and water treatment. Their rotation speed is directly proportional to the supply frequency, that means it’s always constant and independent from the load.

DC Stepper Motors

DC Stepper Motors are a great choice for simple applications that require long durability and easy integration, like small HVAC systems, photocopy machines, plot-ters, medical pumps and drip feeders, or vending and gaming machines.

Gearboxes

To meet the perfect speed and torque levels for the great majority of applications, we offer a complete range of gearboxes, with a wide variety of ratios, for adjusting our motors.

Each gearbox has been designed for a specific workload and optimized for a long mechanical life, with a big capacity to absorb the maximum torque in continus movement.
