High-Temp Electromechanical Solenoid

[Helepolis]

Hi all,

Looking for a solenoid with the following general characteristics:

• Electrical actuation
• Compact size - general dim. ~80x80x80mm
• High Temp - ambient operating temp (air) >600 deg. C
• Actuation travel - ~1.5mm

Any ideas/leads will be greatly appreciated.


Best,
SD

Use a rod to connect the solenoid in a cold area to the hot area.

We had a lot of remote actuated devices.
Some used solenoids and some used rotary actuators.

I designed a laser shutter that had a descending force spring. It took around a pound of force to start it opening, and then it dropped to a fraction of an ounce in the open position. I selected a motor to actuate it such that it required 10V to open, and 1V to hold open. Thus, I minimized power consumption, and the temperature of the device.

Maybe it is time to be clever.

It's the 600C op temp that's the differentiator; most commercial solenoids might go up to 250C
