Motion Control – Solenoid Driver Module

Motion Control – Van Nuys, CA – Magnetic Sensor Systems (MSS) Has released the Pick and Hold SDM950 Power Solenoid Driver Module. This “Made in America,” compact, PWM driver module measuring just 2.950 in. x 3.000 in. is designed to consume less energy by first applying the voltage for a pre-determined period of time (Pick Time) necessary to activate the solenoid and then when the plunger is seated, drop the voltage (Holding Voltage) to a level sufficient to hold the solenoid in the seated position conserving energy and extending the life of a solenoid by avoiding overheating the solenoid’s coil.
