Linear Solenoids
Linear solenoid – powerful electromagnet for demanding motion
We have a large range of solenoids, and offer a wide range of linear solenoids for controlling motion in both simple and demanding applications. The solenoid acts as an electromagnet that provides fast, linear force in pulling, pushing or combined solutions.
Our wide range of linear solenoids includes products for both AC (BAC series) and DC (BDC series), with common voltages such as 12V, 24V, 110V and 230V. The long stroke design of the solenoid provides increased performance at longer stroke lengths. Customizations such as return springs, push rods and various mounting options are available.

Linear solenoids for industrial precision
Linear solenoids are electromechanical components that convert electrical energy into controlled, linear motion. They are used in automated systems where fast and precise movements are required – for example, to open or close valves, push or pull mechanical parts or release latches. Thanks to their compact design and reliable function, linear solenoids are the obvious choice in the manufacturing industry, automotive technology, process automation and medical technology.
How a linear solenoid works
A linear solenoid consists of an electric coil with a moving metal core. When the coil is energized by an electric current, a magnetic field is created that pulls the plunger in a straight line. When the current is interrupted, the plunger returns to its original position using a built-in spring or other return mechanism. The result is a fast and precise movement that can be easily integrated into various types of mechanical or electronic systems.
Our range of linear solenoids
At Elektrokomponenter you will find a wide range of linear solenoids that are adapted for different types of industrial applications. We offer models for both 24 V and 205 V DC, with different stroke lengths, plungers and force levels. Whether you need a compact solenoid for a limited space or a powerful model to handle heavy movements, there are options to match your needs.
Adapted for demanding environments
Many of our solenoids are designed to operate reliably even in harsh industrial environments. We offer models with IP40 and IP54 ratings and different types of contacts depending on the enclosure requirements and operating conditions. The solenoids are built to withstand high cycling rates, varying temperatures and vibration, making them ideal for both stationary machines and mobile units.
Energy efficient and fast response
Our linear solenoids are designed to provide a fast response time – often under 50 milliseconds – making them ideal for applications where fast actuation is essential. Several models can also be complemented with accessories such as springs, seals or connectors with built-in rectifiers, simplifying integration and improving functionality.
When is a linear solenoid best suited?
Linear solenoids are used when a straight, controlled motion is needed in a system. This could be to retract a latch, release a locking mechanism, operate a valve, or push an object into the exact right position. Applications include everything from automation equipment and conveyors to test equipment and safety solutions.
Technical support and documentation
All our linear solenoids come with technical documentation – including datasheets, CAD files and assembly instructions. We also offer technical support to help you find the right product based on your power requirements, stroke length, voltage and environmental requirements. Our goal is to make it easy for you to integrate the right component into your solution.
Quality from Elektrokomponenter
With extensive experience in electromechanics, we offer quality components that are tested, documented and ready to perform in demanding applications. Our linear solenoids combine speed, strength and reliability – and we will help you find the right solution, whether you are looking for a standard model or a custom variant.
Frequently Asked Questions About Linear Solenoids
What is a linear solenoid?
A linear solenoid is an electromechanical component that converts electrical energy into linear motion. It is used to push, pull, or release a mechanism in various types of automation solutions.
How does a linear solenoid work?
When electric current passes through the coil in the solenoid, a magnetic field is created that pulls in a moving core. The movement is straight and occurs quickly. When the current is interrupted, the plunger returns to its original position with the help of a spring or gravity.
What are linear solenoids used for?
Linear solenoids are used in valve control, locking systems, latching mechanisms, transportation equipment, and medical devices, among other applications. They are common in industrial automation where precise and fast movements are needed.
What voltages are available?
We offer linear solenoids powered by 24 V or 205 V DC. The choice of voltage depends on the application requirements and control system specifications.
What is the difference between a linear and rotary solenoid?
A linear solenoid creates a straight forward or backward motion. A rotary solenoid instead generates a torque. The choice between them depends on the type of motion required in the application.
How to choose the right linear solenoid?
To choose the right model, you should consider stroke length, force requirements, voltage, environmental requirements (e.g. IP rating), and cycle frequency. You can also choose accessories such as spring, seal, or rectifier contact to match your solution.
Can solenoids withstand demanding environments?
Yes, many of our linear solenoids are IP40 or IP54 rated and are resistant to dust, moisture and vibration. They are designed to operate in demanding industrial environments with high reliability.
