6.3.2 Measures for shortening response time and<br />

increasing linear force during response<br />

phase, and for reducing power consumption<br />

Solenoids permit the following options in special cases<br />

when the response time is to be shortened and the<br />

linear force increased during the response phase, or<br />

the power consumption is to be reduced.<br />

6.3.2.1 Fast energisation and overvolting<br />

to shorten the response time t 1<br />

Here, either the time constant governing the rise in<br />

current should be decreased (fast energisation) or the<br />

quotient increased for the same time constant<br />

(overvolting).<br />

6.3.2.2 Overvolting to increase holding force<br />

The overvolting option mentioned above is also<br />

suitable for special situations requiring a higher linear<br />

force throughout the travel (during the response<br />

phase). KENDRION can supply suitable overvolting<br />

rectifiers which are in a position to supply the solenoid<br />

with a higher voltage throughout the response time.<br />

Besides shortening the response time to 30-40% of the<br />

standard value, such rectifiers also increase (by up to<br />

two times) the linear force during the response phase<br />

(for devices with 100% duty cycle) (Fig. 12).<br />

KENDRION single-phase overvolting rectifiers automatically<br />

switch back from the higher voltage to the<br />

standard voltage after the response phase. The higher<br />

power consumption during the brief overvolting time is<br />

normally no problem for the solenoid.<br />

D = diode<br />

R M = ohmic resistance of solenoid<br />

In the fast energisation option, connecting an ohmic<br />

resistance in series with the solenoid increases the total<br />

resistance and decreases the time constant.<br />

In the overvolting option, a multiple of the rated<br />

voltage is applied to the solenoid and this shortens the<br />

switch closing time for the same time constant T as<br />

when connected to the rated voltage. Fig. 11 illustrates<br />

how fast energisation and overvolting influence the<br />

response time t 1 . The values given are typical values<br />

for guidance only.<br />
