Solenoid secures valuable items

A Magnet Schultz product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Nov 2, 2007

The MGPU 019 will withstand a side load of over 22kg in the locked position, making it perfect for deadlock applications

Magnet Schultz has released the MGPU 019 double latching solenoid, a versatile device combining lightweight, compact design with excellent functionality.

It is suitable for applications including PC computer cases, security cases, filing cabinets, cash boxes and cubicles.

It is also suitable for a variety of machinery applications such as vending and gaming machines where it is necessary to lock a hopper diverter or a security flap to prevent access to a reward chute.

The double-latching solenoid can also be used as a detent within a mechanism or where a strike or trigger.

The MGPU 019 will withstand a side load of over 22kg in the locked position, making it perfect for deadlock applications whilst the solenoid's bearing system ensures longevity.

The MGPU 019 comprises a permanent magnet surrounded by two coils with a locking pin projecting from each end of the armature.

The solenoid operates by momentarily energising one coil to engage the pin and then energising the second coil to reverse the process.

Power consumption is extremely low as the permanent magnet provides the 'latching' effect, which holds the armature at either end of the stroke.

Installation and connection has been simplified through the MGPU 019's standard Molex electrical socket being moulded into the frame of the solenoid, which has also been designed to provide choice of mounting arrangements.

The plug locks in place, speeding assembly time and preventing unintentional disconnection.
