Solenoids > Application Examples: Solenoids Used in Variable Positioning
Solenoids Used in Variable Positioning
Saia-Burgess variable positioning solenoid products are often considered along with pneumatics or stepper motors for positioning applications. The BTA and Soft Shift products afford users the opportunity to use variable positioning actuation with simple solenoid controls.

We thought you might like to hear some of the reasons why variable positioning applications are more attractive in some circumstances.

They include:

-Smooth, stepless positioning
-Fail-safe return via spring at power down
-High torque of force
-Fast rotation or linear displacement
-Low-cost drive electronics; no elaborate plumbing
-Quiet operation over a large stroke
-Manual override capability
-Fixed end-of-stroke points
-Slower actuation is more appropriate for applications involving fragile equipment
-Use with PWM drive circuits
-Flat force/stroke curve
-Clean operation
-And more...

Common applications for variable positioning include:

-Fluid analyzers
-Lasers
-Dispensing equipment
-I-V equipment
-Clamps
-Pinch valves
-Inspection equipment
