  2. Solenoid (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solenoid_(engineering)

    The term "solenoid" also often refers to a solenoid valve, an integrated device containing an electromechanical solenoid which actuates either a pneumatic or hydraulic valve, or a solenoid switch, a specific type of relay that uses an internal electromechanical solenoid to operate an electrical switch; for example, an automobile starter ...

  3. Solenoid valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solenoid_valve

    Solenoid valves. A solenoid valve is an electromechanically operated valve.. Solenoid valves differ in the characteristics of the electric current they use, the strength of the magnetic field they generate, the mechanism they use to regulate the fluid, and the type and characteristics of fluid they control.

  4. Solenoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solenoid

    A finite solenoid is a solenoid with finite length. Continuous means that the solenoid is not formed by discrete coils but by a sheet of conductive material. We assume the current is uniformly distributed on the surface of the solenoid, with a surface current density K ; in cylindrical coordinates : K → = I l ϕ ^ . {\displaystyle {\vec {K ...

  5. Camless piston engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camless_piston_engine

    Solenoid valves are used to control valve activation that is electronically operated. These are used for controlling liquid or gas flow and are most commonly used in fluidics as control elements. They are multifunctional in a way to release, shut off, mix, or distribute fluids with high reliability and fast processing.

  6. Ballast cleaner - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballast_cleaner

    A ballast cleaner Matisa C330F in action on the Coastal Railway in Haifa, Israel. A ballast cleaner (also known as an undercutter, a shoulder ballast cleaning machine) is a machine that specialises in cleaning the railway track ballast (gravel, blue stone or other aggregate) of impurities. [1]

  7. Pilot valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilot_valve

    Typically, this separate valve controls a high pressure or high flow feed. Pilot valves are useful because they allow a small and easily operated feed to control a much higher pressure or higher flow feed, which would otherwise require a much larger force to operate; indeed, this is even useful when a solenoid is used to operate the valve.

  8. Boost controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boost_controller

    A 3-port solenoid-type boost controller A 4-port solenoid-type boost controller (used for a dual-port wastegate). The purpose of a boost controller is to reduce the boost pressure seen by the wastegate's reference port, in order to trick the wastegate into allowing higher boost pressures than it was designed for.

  9. Parts cleaning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parts_cleaning

    Aqueous parts cleaning industrial washer. Parts cleaning is a step in various industrial processes, either as preparation for surface finishing or to safeguard delicate components. One such process, electroplating, is particularly sensitive to part cleanliness, as even thin layers of oil can hinder coating adhesion.
