AC Solenoid vs DC Solenoid?

AC Solenoids

  • have an in-rush current, providing high initial stroke force
  • can utilise longer strokes than DC solenoids for the above reason
  • may hum in operation, according to the application conditions
  • the armature (plunger) must always be allowed to seat, otherwise over-heating of the coil may occur

DC Solenoids

  • are generally quieter in operation
  • have longer operating life (bearing construction versions)
  • any DC Solenoid can be operated from an AC supply via a simple bridge-rectifier, also available from us – ask for details
  • For force/stroke equivalent DC units refer to our GFC range
