DC 12V/24V Pull Electromagnet TAU-0520 – 10mm Travel 400g
DC 12V/24V Pull Electromagnet TAU-0520 – 10mm Travel 400g
CNMAWAY TAU-0520 DC Pull-Type Frame Electromagnet
The CNMAWAY TAU-0520 is a compact, coil-type pull electromagnet designed for DC 12V or 24V operation. With a 10mm travel distance and a keeping force of 400g, this mini solenoid is ideal for use in automation machinery, gaming equipment, ticketing machines, cash registers, and a wide range of automated office devices.
Made in Mainland China.
Key Features
- Dual Voltage Support: Compatible with both 12VDC (500mA) and 24VDC (220mA) power supplies — flexible for various system designs.
- 10mm Travel Distance: Delivers an initial force of 40g (at 0mm) and a keeping force of 400g (at 10mm travel).
- Compact Coil Frame Design: Measures just 13(W) × 16.5(H) × 20(L) mm and weighs approximately 25g — fits easily into tight enclosures.
- Designed for Intermittent Duty: Best used in cyclic on/off operation (e.g., 1 second on / 1 second off). This duty cycle can be maintained continuously for long operating hours.
- Thermal Self-Regulation: Temperature naturally rises during operation and stabilises at a steady level. A cooler operating environment further extends service life.
- Low Power Consumption: Rated at approximately 6W with an 86-ohm resistance coil — energy-efficient for embedded automation applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I run this pull electromagnet continuously without interruption?
A: The TAU-0520 pull electromagnet is designed for intermittent duty cycles — for example, 1 second on and 1 second off. Continuous operation beyond 3 minutes is not recommended, as the coil will heat up. Operating in an alternating cycle keeps temperatures stable and extends the unit's service life.
Q: Does this electromagnet work with both 12V and 24V systems?
A: Yes. The TAU-0520 is compatible with 12VDC (500mA) and 24VDC (220mA) power sources, making it versatile for a range of automation and electronics projects. Ensure your power supply matches the specified voltage and current ratings for optimal performance.
Q: What is the difference between the initial force and the keeping force?
A: The initial force at 0mm travel is 40g — this is the pull force when the plunger is at its furthest extended position. The keeping force at 10mm travel is 400g — this is the much stronger holding force once the plunger has been drawn fully in. The keeping force is significantly higher, making this electromagnet ideal for locking or holding applications.
