System Line - AC Single-Stroke Solenoids
The AC single-stroke solenoids of the Kendrion „System Line“ are manufactured from magnetically high-quality
sheet metals.

This design evokes a dynamic force behaviour, the maximum force being reached at the stroke end position. Due to
this ascending force characteristic AC single-stroke solenoids are particularly suitable for overcoming spring forces.
Compared to the DC single-stroke solenoid higher switching capacities are possible as the switching times are con-
siderably shorter here. In addition, AC single-stroke solenoids with the same performance have a smaller design as
the power consumption during the stroke travel is variable (descending).

It has to be ensured that the armature can pull up until it completely rests on the pole faces as otherwise a thermal
overload of the coil may lead to failure.

Due to these special attributes the components are used in machine building, plant construction and switchgear
manufacturing as well as in textile, office and packaging technology.

The stroke movement takes place from the stroke starting position to the stroke end position (active direction of
movement), while the armature reset is accomplished by external forces such as spring or weight force. The arma-
ture reset is to be accomplished by the customer.

The magnetic forces indicated are reached at 90% of the nominal voltage and in warmed-up condition. The values
of the duty cycles apply for nominal voltage, warmed-up condition and load with 70% of the magnetic force of the
device.

All products are manufactured and tested according to DIN VDE 0580/07.2000.
Design subject to change.
 AC Solenoids
Series WL

With the AC solenoids of the series WL the yoke is Ushaped while the armature
is T-shaped, the pole faces remain blank after grinding in. This design allows for
optimum pulling force results with relatively small sizes as the lines of force can pass
the working air gap either in the coil centre or via the limbs.

The solenoid system can be used for short as well as longer strokes (max. 50 mm).

On request further sizes and coil designs are available. With respect to the coil design higher forces can be achieved
under consideration of a shorter duty cycle. Pushing models are also available on request. Here it has to be ensured
that the force transfer is achieved by a non-magnetic stud.

Special Models on Requeste

AC Solenoids
Series WLG

Solenoid systems of the series WLF have the same design

as the type series WL, but they are integrated into a closed
aluminum housing providing special protection. This housing
allows for particularly effective heat dissipation and use under
relatively rough conditions.

WLF and WLG have the same design, the only difference being
that a bellow ensures a high level of protection against dust.

AC Solenoids
Series WLA

AC solenoids of the series WLA are particularly suitable

for use under rough conditions. The excitation system is
potted in the housing with casting resin. The cooling fi ns
allow for particularly effi cient heat dissipation. By means of
the bellow and the standard connection via a box mounting
receptacle the protection class IP65 is achieved here.

7
 AC Solenoids
Series WTI

With the series WTI the armature is I-shaped. The socalled plunger-principle
is applied here, making this type particularly suitable for large strokes. The
solenoid has a very strong acceleration as the stray field is narrow in the
starting position. With the immersion of the armature the stray field can develop
and the pulling force is reduced until the working air gap has narrowed accordingly.
Due to this reduction the working flux dominates and increases the pulling force.

Further coil designs are available on request. With respect to the coil design higher forces can be achieved under
consideration of a shorter duty cycle. Pushing models are also available on request. Here it has to be ensured that
the force transfer is achieved by a non-magnetic stud.
