In industrial automation, speed, reliability, and precision are non-negotiable. Whether it’s activating a valve, locking a mechanism, or triggering a safety system, electromagnetic solenoids play a crucial role in enabling seamless, repeatable actuation.
Kendrion is a global leader in solenoid technology, known for its high-performance components used across a wide range of automation, transportation, and control systems. At Applied Modular, we supply and support Kendrion solenoids that are engineered to meet demanding industrial standards — offering performance, durability, and design flexibility.
What Is a Solenoid?
A solenoid is an electromechanical device that converts electrical energy into linear or rotary motion. When electrical current flows through its coil, a magnetic field is generated, moving a plunger or armature. This motion can be used to open valves, engage clutches, release locks, or perform any action requiring fast, controlled movement.
Solenoids are valued for their speed, compact size, and ability to deliver motion with no mechanical complexity — making them ideal for integration in automated machinery and safety-critical systems.
Types of Kendrion Solenoids
Kendrion offers a broad range of solenoids to suit different mechanical and control needs. Key types include:
Linear Solenoids
Deliver push or pull motion in a straight line. Commonly used in valve actuation, clutch engagement, and switchgear.
Rotary Solenoids
Provide rotational movement to enable indexing, locking, or twisting actions. Suitable for access systems or mechanical locks.
Tubular Solenoids
Compact, enclosed design that offers precision in low-force applications. Ideal for compact assemblies with tight space constraints.
High-Force Solenoids
Designed for heavy-duty tasks where high actuation force and durability are required, such as industrial machinery or transport systems.
Each solenoid type is available in multiple stroke lengths, force ratings, and voltage options, allowing customisation for specific applications.
