SOLEN OI D
DESCRIPTION
The typical electrical solenoid u sed in aut omotive
applica tion s is a linea r a ctuat or. It is a device tha t
pr odu ces motion in a stra igh t line. This straight line
motion can be eit her forwar d or backward in direc-
tion, and shor t or long distance.
A solenoid is an electrom echan ical device that uses
a magnetic force to per form work. It consist s of a coil
of wire, wrapped a round a ma gnet ic cor e ma de from
st eel or ir on, and a sprin g loaded, movable plun ger,
which per forms th e work, or straight line m otion.
The solenoids used i n tran sm ission applications
are att ached t o valves which can be classified as nor-
mally open or normally closed.Thenormally
open solen oid valve is defined as a valve which
allows hydraulic flow when no cu rren t or voltage is
applied to the solenoid. Th e normally closed sole-
noid valve is defin ed as a va lve which does not a llow
hydra ulic flow when no cu rren t or volt age is applied
to th e solen oid. Th ese va lves perform hydraulic con-
trol functions for the t ran smission a nd must there-
fore be durable a nd tolerant of dir t par ticles. For
these reason s, the valves have h ardened st eel pop-
pets an d ball va lves. The solenoids operate th e va lves
