RE: how much pulling power in lbs. does a solenoid have
I believe the general rule of thumb is the pulling force applied by the plunger varies loosly with the square of the distance the plunger is pulled out from the coil.

Richard, I have only used a solenoid in 1 project. Here is the datasheet for the one I used to give you an idea of what forces you can expect. The manufacturer also has other solenoid types with different characteristics. You can get the datasheets from their website.
