Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the MQ8-Z12 solenoid electromagnet be used continuously?
A: No. The MQ8-Z12 has an Electricity Rate (ED) of 20%, which means it is rated for intermittent (jog) operation only. It must be allowed to cool down between cycles. Continuous operation without adequate rest intervals may cause overheating and damage to the solenoid.
Q: What is the pull force of the MQ8-Z12 solenoid at different stroke positions?
A: At 0 mm stroke (fully retracted), the solenoid delivers a pull force of approximately 2.2 kg (22 N). At the full 15 mm stroke, the force is approximately 1 kg (10 N). Force decreases as the plunger extends further from the core.
Q: Is the MQ8-Z12 compatible with both 12V and 24V DC systems?
A: Yes. The MQ8-Z12 tubular solenoid supports both 12V DC and 24V DC operating voltages, making it flexible for a wide range of automation, electronics, and DIY applications.
Q: What are typical use cases for this pull-type tubular solenoid electromagnet?
A: This solenoid is commonly used in automated door locks, vending and dispensing machines, gate latches, alarm systems, robotics, electronic hobby projects, and industrial jig automation where intermittent linear motion actuation is required.
