A magnetically latching solenoid uses permanent magnets coupled with the electromagnetic circuit of conventional AC solenoids or DC solenoids. The latching solenoid can perform push, pull, hold and release operations with only an instantaneous pulse of current, thus offering a significant power-savings efficiency and maximum life.
These features make a latching solenoid ideally suited to continuos duty applications, since even without power, the armature and load will remain latched in the energized position. Applications for latching solenoids include automatic door closers, locking/latching mechanisms, computer peripherals, medical equipment and battery powered equipment.
Latching solenoids are also found in bi-directional magnetic latching open frame versions. These models electromechanically power the load in both directions, and hold it magnetically latched in either position indefinitely, without power. This feature of the latching solenoid is a benefit to applications where the load requires significant force to move it in both directions.
