LOW IMPACT NOISE SOLENOID VALVE
DRIVE
January 30, 2020
In some examples, a static part includes a static body and a first cylindrical extension extending from the static body, the first cylindrical extension including an open end with a cylindrical inner surface having a first diameter. A moveable part is moveable toward the static part by the magnetic flux of a solenoid. The moveable part may include a moveable body and a second cylindrical extension extending from the moveable body, the second cylindrical extension including a cylindrical outer surface having a second diameter, smaller than the first diameter, to enable the cylindrical outer surface to move within the open end. The second diameter is sized for the cylindrical outer surface to pass adjacent to the cylindrical inner surface to enable passage of a portion of the magnetic flux radially to reduce an energy of impact between the moveable part and the static part.
