Electroswitch control switch relays (CSR) combine the function of a control switch with a remote-controlled solenoid, allowing one device to do both the manual and supervisory control function in the ...

Solenoids are used in many applications to provide linear or rotational actuation in mechanical systems. Although driving solenoids can be as simple as switching the current flow on and off, ...

As automation expands, mechanical functions are relying more and more on electronic control. Solenoids provide an electromechanical interface for many of these applications. In addition, many ...

Several years ago, Paul Rako, in collaboration with the late, great Bob Pease, wrote a terrific article about the finer theoretical and practical points of electromagnetic solenoid-driver circuits. 1 ...
