    How to evaluate and limit the remanent force of a solenoid actuator ?

    thank you for your answer. If I do understand correctly, I should place a capacitor very close to the core of the solenoid. The capacitor is wired in parallel to the coil. When the coild is energised, the capacitor B field is in the same direction than the coil's field. When it is de-energised...

    How to evaluate and limit the remanent force of a solenoid actuator ?

    Hi, I am designing a solenoid actuator that is similar in size to this one : https://cdn.norgren.com/pdf/en_6_6_009_FLATPROP_EQI.pdf One key requirement is that the actuator shall have a low remanent force (i.e. remaining magnetic force once the coil is de-energized). The material I plan to...
