DC 12V 35mm Long Stroke Push Pull Solenoid Small Electromagnetic Electric Magnet

used in a project to launch footballs. I used with a cheap amazon car alarm for activation and they work perfectly. Highest quality and quick delivery.

Did what we needed it to but very powerful for smaller projects.

This solenoid really packs a punch and is ok with a higher voltage (I am using 50V in a 40ms pulse every 2.4 seconds). It will overheat and burn out or even cause a fire if activated for too long at a time so be warned. It is only good for a very low duty cycle. It was perfect though for operating a bell striking mechanism for an electrically driven clock which now strikes the hours loud and clear. I had tried other solenoids but none could operate it satisfactorily. It has an O ring on one end which cushions it but I had to fit one the other end too. The brass nut has a locknut behind it and also has thread locking compound on it too so care is needed when undoing it but it didn’t put up much resistance to being undone.

not as powerful as expected

Meaty solenoid and very powerful.

Tried a few others but didn't have enough force, I'm using these to open a cupboard door and they work perfectly so far. They get a bit warm but seems to be within running temp.

Stronger than many out there but obviously a bit more expensive. Any sort of resistance is generally a problem. Suitable for homemade hot-wheels starting gates.

i didn't check the measurements before I ordered this, so its too big for my intended purpose, but I can't say no to this beefed up hunk of a solenoid motor. The stroke is hard and fierce. POW
