Designing a Solenoid for Unaccounted-for Corner Conditions
TLX Technologies designed a D-frame solenoid to replace an existing solution that did not meet space constraints and performance specs.
Custom Solenoids and Valves for Industrial Applications
When you need a custom solenoid to fit your industrial equipment and system needs, TLX Technologies works with you to design the best solution.
Solenoid Pinch Valve
Accommodates tube sizes up to 10 mm in diameter in the same size valve body and closes with enough force to completely stop fluid flow.
Explosion-Proof Actuator with Supervision
UL HazLoc, ATEX, and IECEx certified for use in hazardous gas environments. Accommodates systems with operating pressures up to 300 bar.
High-Pressure Supervised Direct-Acting Solenoid Valve
This solenoid valve is designed for gas and hybrid systems with operating pressures up to 300 bar and features fully engaged installation detection.
Discrete Proportional Valve System
Uses only a short pulse of power to actuate and does not require constant power to maintain state.
Peak and Hold Control Module
The peak and hold control module allows any-size solenoid to operate at a higher force without overheating the coil.
High-Flow Discrete Proportional Valve
Designed to support applications with high flow rates at pressures up to 60 psi, with customizable flow characteristics.
Bistable Latching Solenoid
This light-duty solenoid uses only a short power pulse to actuate the armature and maintains position without constant power.
Low-Profile Latching Solenoid Lock
A two-position latching solenoid lock that drew no current to maintain either a locked or unlocked status.
Supervised Direct-Acting Solenoid Valve
This solenoid valve is designed for gas and hybrid systems with operating pressures up to 150 bar and features fully engaged installation detection.
Latching Diaphragm Solenoid Valve
A battery-operated valve that used water pressure to open and close.
Long-Stroke Latching Solenoid
This latching solenoid needs no power to hold in either position and runs efficiently on 4 AA batteries.
Proportional Pressure Relief Valve
This direct-acting, normally open, proportional pressure relief valve can be designed to operate over various pressure ranges.
Coolant Control Valve
A continuous-duty, normally closed valve with a maximum flow rate of 0.5 L/s.
Compact Latching Solenoid
A fully encapsulated solenoid that used only a short pulse of current to actuate and drew no current to maintain state.
D-Frame Solenoid
A continuous duty solenoid that delivers a high pull force and a long stroke relative to its package size.
Three-Way Proportional Pressure Reducing-Relieving Valve
This proportional solenoid valve is a direct-acting, normally open, continuously variable pressure relief valve.
Proportional Solenoid Actuator
This proportional solenoid actuator (used to power proportional hydraulic valves in off-highway applications) is direct-acting and continuously variable.
Proportional Pressure Reducing Relieving Valve
This continuously variable pressure reducing relieving valve can be designed to operate over various pressure ranges to optimize controllability.
Atomic Layer Deposition Pilot Valve
A two-position, three-way pilot valve with an ultrafast response and a compact design.
Three-Position Push/Pull Solenoid
This continuous duty solenoid’s armature had three positions: centered, fully extended, or fully retracted.
Magnetic Locking Solenoid
A latching solenoid with a fast response time and low power consumption.
Manual Reset Latching Solenoid
This solenoid does not need constant power to maintain position, releases quickly when activated, and remains in the released position until manually reset.
Miniature Latching Solenoid
Miniature solenoids provide options for applications with limited space or size constraints.
Latching Solenoid with Burst Pin
The latching solenoid is designed for fire suppression systems that require high force to penetrate a burst disc.
Miniature U-Frame Solenoid
This example of a continuous duty solenoid is miniature in size but with a relatively long stroke and high force.
Bidirectional Latching Solenoid
This solenoid’s low power consumption and compact design made it ideal for battery-operated applications.
Open Frame Latching Solenoid
A low-cost, compact, mechanically simple design that provided reliable performance and energy efficiency.
Heavy-Duty Latching Solenoid
This solenoid example utilizes a 100 ms pulse to latch and hold in position using a permanent magnet.
Intrinsically Safe Latching Solenoid
This latching solenoid featured high-speed plunger extension and was designed for safe use in flammable environments.
Large Latching Solenoid
This latching solenoid uses inherent residual magnetism or permanent magnets to maintain either of its positions without consuming power.
Pull-Type Locking Solenoid
A continuous duty solenoid that was designed as a security device for a commercial furniture systems manufacturer.
High-Speed Dispensing Valve
This is an example of a high-speed solenoid mated to a multiple port spool configuration for the control of output fluids to very fine parameters.
Miniature Solenoid Air Valve
A small solenoid valve that was suitable for low-pressure applications.
Residual Magnetism Latching Solenoid
A latching solenoid that used residual magnetism instead of a permanent magnet.
Three-Position Latching Solenoid
This solenoid’s armature had three positions: fully extended, centered, or fully retracted.
Latching Solenoid
Uses only a short power pulse to actuate and maintains position without constant power.
Miniature Manual Reset Latching Solenoid
A small latching solenoid with a fast response time that had to be manually latched.
