The difference between DC pull/push solenoids and AC pull/push solenoids lies in their power supply type and working principle. DC pull/push solenoids are driven by a DC power supply and have features such as adjustable duty cycle, low starting voltage, and fast response speed. Therefore, they are widely used in applications driven by DC power, such as automatic control, electronic products, and motor control. AC pull/push solenoids are more suitable for applications driven by AC power, such as household appliances, automobiles, and electric doors and windows. This is because the current direction of AC pull/push solenoids can automatically change with the polarity of the power supply, without the need for a reverse protection circuit like DC pull/push solenoids.

Different application areas of DC and AC pull-pull solenoids

The difference between DC pull/push solenoids and AC pull/push solenoids lies in their power supply type and working principle. DC pull/push solenoids are driven by DC power supply, while AC pull/push solenoids are driven by AC power supply. Due to the characteristics of adjustable duty cycle, low starting voltage, and fast response speed, DC pull/push solenoids are widely used in applications driven by DC power supply, such as automatic control, electronic products, motor control, etc. AC pull/push solenoids are more suitable for applications driven by AC power supply, such as household appliances, cars, electric doors and windows. This is because the current direction of AC pull/push solenoids can automatically change with the positive and negative changes of the power supply, without the need for a reverse protection circuit as required by DC pull/push solenoids.

Advantages and disadvantages of and AC pull-pull solenoids

The advantages of DC pull-push solenoids are:

1.       Fast response speed and can be quickly switched on and off.

2.       High reliability of the switch, as it has only two states: on and off.

3.       Convenient control, the magnetic field and push-pull force of the solenoid can be controlled by changing the direction and size of the current.

4.       Simple circuit design and easy to implement.

The disadvantages of DC pull-push solenoids are:

1.       Requires DC power supply, which limits its range of applications.

2.       After long-term work, it is prone to heat generation and requires heat dissipation measures.

3.       The magnetic field strength and push-pull force are greatly affected by the power supply voltage and require attention to stability.

Advantages of AC pull-pull solenoids:

1.       No need for DC power, can directly use AC power.

2.       Can work at different frequencies, with good adaptability.

3.       Can control the magnetic field and pulling force by adjusting the voltage and frequency of the AC power supply.

4.       Safer to use because the current and magnetic field direction are different in different cycles, reducing the heating and deterioration of the electromagnet during long-term use.

Disadvantages of AC pull-pull solenoids:

1.       Slower response speed because it needs to reverse the magnetic field direction in each cycle.

2.       The reliability of the switch is not as good as that of DC pull-pull electromagnets.

3.       The circuit design and control requirements are high, and complex circuits and controllers are required.

4.       More complicated to use than DC pull-pull electromagnets.
