Rotary Solenoid replacement

Sep 12, 2007 0 Replies

I would like to replace various sizes of rotary solenoids with motor gearbox arrangements. The solenoids don't give me enough torque and/ or rotation, but have more than enough speed.



The advantage of solenoids is that they've been standardized for decades and are likely to be around for decades to come. What I want is lighter weight, smaller size, lower current draw, and more energy at the cost of speed.



Can anybody suggest anything off the shelf? Can anybody suggest motor and gear components that are pretty standardized at 28v and 12v?



Thanks.
