High Performance Linear Solenoids

The high-performance linear solenoids of the LHP series are our strongest. That's why they are used wherever large forces, short switching times, and high efficiency are required in a small installation space. The electromagnets achieve high power density thanks to a superior magnet design, which impresses with its optimal copper-iron ratio and precise cone control. Compared to, for example, round solenoids, the solenoids of the LHP series can be built very compactly, making them the first choice for numerous applications. In addition to the high force, the linear solenoids also guarantee easy assembly, dynamic switching, and long service life. The application range of the LHP-Series solenoids extends from high voltage circuit breakers to railway door interlocks and general actuation functions of automation and medical technology.

The High Power Team - Discover the possibilities now

The LHP series is now available in four new sizes. Thanks to the modular design of the LHP high-power solenoids, numerous configurations can be realized with the same basic solenoid. This comprises different strokes, power, and voltage variants. Furthermore, the solenoids can be equipped with increased IP protection, different connection technology, optional return spring, and other attachments.

Lifts - especially if they are approved for passenger transport - must meet high safety requirements. To prevent uncontrolled movement of the cabin, a speed limiter is installed, which is controlled by two electromagnetic actuators.The integrated and TÜV-certified linear solenoids ensure a safe stop both in normal operation and in an emergency.

Tramways and railways are equipped with an emergency brake to bring the train to an immediate standstill in an emergency. Thus, the doors mustn’t open until the train has come to a complete stop. This is ensured by the new LHP050, which impresses with its high force combined with a compact and robust design and withstands the high requirements in railway engineering.

The Kendrion high-performance linear solenoids impress with unique power and resistance due to their square design.

The colored B-field shows the strength of the magnetic flux passing through the iron circuit in the high-performance linear solenoid. The warmer the colors are shown, the higher the magnetic flux density. If a coil is used to generate a high flux, a very strong magnetic field is produced because the magnetic flux generated has little iron cross-section available. The high-performance linear solenoids are characterized by the particularly high power density and can be mounted in a versatile way with a small installation space due to the square design.

Linear Solenoids LHPkey facts

Benefits at a glance

The LHP convinces with an unique high power density due to its FEM-simulated iron circuit in square design in combination with the optimal copper-iron ratio and its precise cone control.
The LHP with an edge dimension of 35mm achieves forces of 160 N.

Due to its high power density and square shape, the LHP linear solenoid is extremely compact.
This makes the LHP series a space-saving wonder for all applications where only limited installation space is available.

The square design of the LHP allows both front and side mounting.
Therefore, the linear solenoid can be easily integrated into different applications.

With switching times of less than 30ms, the LHP series is extremely dynamic.
This makes it suitable for use in time-critical applications, e.g. in energy technology.

The solid construction and its precise armature bearing make the LHP solenoid extremely wear-resistent and robust.
Depending on environmental influences, 10 million switching cycles can be achieved.

Due to the modular design of the LHP, numerous configurations can be realised with the same basis solenoid.
