In response to questions. I am going to use 12 volts A/C. I want to keep the wiring and circuit simple so I don't think I want to get involved with driving the coil hard then backing off on the current.
Thanks to everyone that has replied so far. Maybe what I want to do is not possible? I have...
I'm working on a project that requires a solenoid type coil that runs on 12 volts A/C. I need a coil design that will have a 2" stroke with around 6-8 oz. of force. It will be energized for periods of 10-12 hours. So the duty cycle is 100%
Could anyone give me some ideas what I would need it...
