Solenoid Design

Solenoid Design

Solenoid Design

(OP)
I need a solenoid design program that uses the traditional NI calculations, the effect of bobbin geometry and the magnetic permeability and geometry of the plunger and frame. The desired result would be the solenoid force vs distance.  

RE: Solenoid Design

that is a home work problem, let us know what you come up with!

RE: Solenoid Design

hillwilliam - did you find anything? could you take a look at my question posted on 10/14/03.

RE: Solenoid Design

I do not know of any such program available on the market.

I have written such program/s for my own use as a consultant and designer. The programs automatically find all the available solenoids (or electromagnetic valve) configuration, i.e. number of wires for every AWG wire number, the coil resistance, the plunger diameter, the sleeve thickness, the plunger response time of movement including mechanical and electrical rise time, etc.

I have used these programs to design the following:

1. DC solenoids
2. Very high speed electro-pneumatic ON-OFF valve for 50-
   100 atm pressure with 0.001-0.004 msec response time
3. A 400atm electro-pnumatic valve for J-T cryo system to
   freeze tumours in the human body.
4. Electro magneic valve for vacuum systems
