Best Answer

Solenoids are coils of wire that create a magnetic field when an electric current passes through it. These are used in the alternator of a car to create electricity. Solenoids are also used in generators to create electricity in power stations and in Transformers to change the voltage of an AC current.

The purpose of solenoid valve?

A solenoid valve is a type of valve that uses an electrical current to actuate or shift a spool or cartridge consisting of a solenoid coil and tube assembly. Basically, this valve type uses an electric current to shift a pin to perform simple A/B tasks such as open/close valve spools. The designation "solenoid" means that the valve operation is electrical not manual.

What does a solenoid do on a valve?

A solenoid valve is a type of valve that uses an electrical current to actuate or shift a spool or cartridge consisting of a solenoid coil and tube assembly. Basically, this valve type uses an electric current to shift a pin to perform simple A/B tasks such as open/close valve spools. The designation "solenoid" means that the valve operation is electrical not manual. Maybe the easiest way to describe a solenoid valve is by thinking about an automatic car lock. The electric current get triggered, the pin gets pushed up and the doors are unlocked. A reverse current gets triggered, the pin gets pushed down, and the doors are locked.

What is a solenoid on a paintball gun?

The solenoid can refer to two things: The solenoid on electrically assisted sear tripper markers (like a Tippmann with electric trigger) the solenoid is an electro magnet that moves a long pole that trips the sear that fires the gun. A solenoid valve is an electronically controlled valve (like on a Smart parts ion, or any gun you don't have to cock) it uses electric current to open and close.
