In the pull type tubular design, the plunger is pulled into the solenoid coil when the coil is energized. In Push type solenoids, the same is true, however, the plunger has a shaft extension which then pushes out through a hole in the end of the solenoid case. Please note, however, that the magnetic field cannot be reversed to cause the opposite action to occur.
The tubular design offers the most compact package size to force ratio and very long life.
