solenoid
|
Solenoids are electromagnetic switches. When electricity is sent to the solenoid, a magnetic field forms. The magnetic field moves a metal piston, which is connected to a mechanism that performs a function. When the metal piston moves, the application is made. The application may be the moving of a valve, switch, or mechanical linkage.
