Flapper Solenoids
Flapper solenoids are simple motion-control components. They come at a low price range and have a wide spectrum of applications. You can find the flapper solenoid in not only consumer products but also in industrial equipment. A flapper solenoid is composed of a solenoid coil, a movable core (plunger), and a flap, hence the name. When the electric current passes through the coil, the plunger retracts. When the current stops passing, the plunger goes back to the previous position with the help of a spring.
With this simple mechanism, the solenoid controls the motion of the flap that connects to the plunger. The flapper solenoid, therefore, gets to control the operation of any mechanical devices attached to it, such as gear sets or a cam mechanism. The common application of flapper solenoids includes copy machines, printing machines, cotter joint devices, etc. Scroll down to check Summit’s flapper solenoid models and feel free to contact us if you need more information on our products.
