Valve actuators - Plugs and solenoid coils

Valve Actuators - Plugs and Solenoids: Key Components of Hydraulic Systems

Valve actuators, plugs and solenoids are essential components in modern hydraulic installations.   They are the heart of media flow control systems. In our daily practice, we see a growing demand for these elements. This is due to the increasing automation of industrial processes. We offer a wide range of top-quality products. They are adapted to various applications and technical requirements.

We often come across questions about the differences between types of electromagnetic coils. It is worth knowing that they have different electrical parameters. Models are available for 24V AC, 230V AC or 24V DC. The power of the coils also differs - the most popular are 10W and 16W.   Selecting the right coil is crucial for the proper operation of the entire hydraulic system.   Incorrect selection may result in system failure or inefficient operation.

Types and Applications of Solenoid Coils for Valve Actuators

Our offer includes various types of coils. These include:

• 10W 24V AC coils - ideal for low voltage systems
• 10W 230V AC coils - suitable for standard industrial installations
• 16W 24V DC coils - designed for DC powered systems
• Coils for use in aggressive environments - with additional protection

Each of these types has its own unique features and advantages.   10W 24V AC coils are often used in building automation.   They provide safe work in home conditions. In turn, 16W 24V DC coils work well in mobile hydraulic systems. They are often used in agricultural or construction machines.

Recently, in a project for a large chemical plant, we used coils for work in an aggressive environment. Their special design provides resistance to corrosion and harmful fumes. This shows how important it is to select the right type of coil for specific working conditions.

Selection criteria for valve actuators and solenoid plugs and coils

Selecting the right components is a key step in designing a hydraulic system. There are several important factors to consider:

• Electrical parameters (voltage, power)
• Working conditions (temperature, humidity, aggressive environment)
• Required strength of action
• Switching frequency
• Compatibility with existing system

Our experience shows that the precise selection of these elements significantly affects the reliability of the entire installation.   When upgrading older systems, we often recommend replacing the coils with newer models. They provide better energy efficiency and longer life.

Many customers ask us about energy saving options. In such situations, we recommend coils with lower power consumption. However, it is important to remember that they must still provide the required operating power. Sometimes a better solution is to use PWM systems to control the coils.

Innovations and trends in valve actuators and solenoids

The hydraulics industry is constantly evolving. We are seeing growing interest in intelligent control systems.   Increasingly, electromagnetic coils are being integrated with sensors and communication modules.   This enables remote monitoring and diagnostics of valve operation. This in turn translates into increased reliability and efficiency of entire installations.

Our offer includes products from renowned brands. We especially recommend solutions from our own brands: Onnline and Fxa. They have been developed with the specific needs of the Polish market in mind. They provide an excellent price-quality ratio. At the same time, we offer full technical support for these products.

In the case of reorganization of production lines, we most often encounter the need for a quick replacement of coils. That is why we maintain large stocks of the most popular models. This allows for the rapid fulfillment of even large orders. For regular customers, we also offer the possibility of creating a dedicated warehouse stock.

Onninen recommends system solutions that connect valve actuators with appropriately selected coils and plugs.   This approach guarantees optimum performance and reliability. Our engineers will be happy to advise you on the best solution for your specific application. We invite you to contact us and take advantage of our extensive experience in the field of industrial hydraulics.
