Introduction

Design, finite element analysis and duty cycle [9] of all types of
solenoid actuator. Divided into four families of solenoid actuator
geometries solenoids with disk, plunger, conical, and ball
armatures .The variables of the optimization study are the
solenoid geometry, magnetic material properties, and
electromagnetic circuit including coil parameters. Utilized
mathematical models would couple the electrical, mechanical,
hydraulic, and Magnetic systems of these devices by taking into
account the nonlinearity of the magnetic materials, eddy
currents, and motion.

If a piece a magnetisable material is placed within
this field, it will experience a force referred to as a Magnetomotive
Force. The force experienced will of course depend on the
intensity or strength of the magnetic field. The magnetomotive
force should not be thought of as a physical Newtonian force,
(though it often results in this), but rather as analogous to the
electromotive force of a battery or electrical supply. In this case,
the magnetic flux is thought of as analogous to the current
flowing in the loop of in an electric circuit. Magnetomotive Force is
formally defined as the force tending to induce alignment of the
magnetic domains within a material to form lines of flux under
the influence of a magnetic field.

Magnetic Field Strength has the symbol H and has Units of
Amps/metre (Am-1)
H= NI/D

From this the Magnetic Flux Density of the field within the
coil can be found as
B= H NI/D

When the coil is energised, the shaft will move under the
influence of the magnetic field in a direction determined by the
rule for poles so that the North pole of the shaft moves towards
the South pole of the field associated with the energised coil.
Alternatively, the South pole of the shaft may be attracted
towards the North pole of the field associated with the coil,
depending on the orientation of both. Fig.

causes some kind of physical action or movement. This will be
forced to move in the same direction as the shaft when the
solenoid is energised. Various mechanical configurations can be
constructed to accomplish a variety of tasks. Often the
solenoid is spring-loaded as shown in Fig.

Optimization of Solenoid actuator by placing a non magnetic
spacer, varying the plunger angle, including Bobbin as a
magnetic material and Reducing bobbin thickness.

automotive door locks, due to their high force over long stroke
capabilities. They can also be applied in situations where the
armature can develop a relatively large force due to a smaller
magnetic air gap than axial stroke.

There are several factors which affect the force developed by
the solenoid. These factors include:
Coil resistance

CHAPTER 3
1.SUMAARY
We learned about the two styles of armatures, the pancake and tubular.
The three variations on the tubular shape were presented; flat, conical andproportional.
A discussion on force versus the air gap showed when to use the flat,conical and
proportional shapes.
The various parameters which affect solenoid force were presented along
with what happens when the parameters are varied.
The method to calculate the resistance of a coil when there is a change in temperature was
displayed.
2.CONCLUSIONS

introduce simplifications wherever possible. Due to simplifications analytic
models often are not that accurate.
