A Diaphragm Solenoid Valve That Used Water Pressure to Actuate
TLX Technologies used latching technology to design a battery-powered valve for a smart water meter.
Custom Solenoids and Valves Using Latching Technology
Latching solenoids, actuators, and valves do not need constant power to maintain position, making them ideal for applications that require maximum energy efficiency.
Explosion-Proof Actuator with Supervision
UL HazLoc, ATEX, and IECEx certified for use in hazardous gas environments. Accommodates systems with operating pressures up to 300 bar.
High-Pressure Supervised Latching Actuator
For fire suppression systems with operating pressures up to 300 bar and is compatible with CO2 systems. Meets regulatory standards for supervision.
Discrete Proportional Valve System
Uses only a short pulse of power to actuate and does not require constant power to maintain state.
High-Flow Discrete Proportional Valve
Designed to support applications with high flow rates at pressures up to 60 psi, with customizable flow characteristics.
Bistable Latching Solenoid
This light-duty solenoid uses only a short power pulse to actuate the armature and maintains position without constant power.
Digital High-Speed Control Valve
A digital valve that was designed to control outlet flow for high-pressure gas vessels.
Low-Profile Latching Solenoid Lock
A two-position latching solenoid lock that drew no current to maintain either a locked or unlocked status.
Increased Force Supervised Latching Actuator
For fire suppression systems with mid-range operating pressures. Meets regulatory standards for supervision.
Supervised Latching Solenoid Actuator
This patented actuator accommodates systems with lower operating pressures and meets regulatory standards for supervision.
Latching Diaphragm Solenoid Valve
A battery-operated valve that used water pressure to open and close.
Long-Stroke Latching Solenoid
This latching solenoid needs no power to hold in either position and runs efficiently on 4 AA batteries.
Compact Latching Solenoid
A fully encapsulated solenoid that used only a short pulse of current to actuate and drew no current to maintain state.
Magnetic Locking Solenoid
Latching solenoids provide an excellent solution for applications requiring a fast response time and low power consumption.
Manual Reset Latching Solenoid
This solenoid does not need constant power to maintain position, releases quickly when activated, and remains in the released position until manually reset.
Miniature Latching Solenoid
Miniature solenoids provide options for applications with limited space or size constraints.
Latching Solenoid with Burst Pin
The latching solenoid is designed for fire suppression systems that require high force to penetrate a burst disc.
Miniature U-Frame Solenoid
This example of a continuous duty solenoid is miniature in size but with a relatively long stroke and high force.

This solenoid’s low power consumption and compact design made it ideal for battery-operated applications.
Open Frame Latching Solenoid
A low-cost, compact, mechanically simple design that provided reliable performance and energy efficiency.
Heavy-Duty Latching Solenoid
This solenoid example utilizes a 100 ms pulse to latch and hold in position using a permanent magnet.
Intrinsically Safe Latching Solenoid
This latching solenoid featured high-speed plunger extension and was designed for safe use in flammable environments.
Large Latching Solenoid
This latching solenoid uses inherent residual magnetism or permanent magnets to maintain either of its positions without consuming power.
Miniature Solenoid Air Valve
A small solenoid valve that was suitable for low-pressure applications.
Residual Magnetism Latching Solenoid
This solenoid example is a linear on-off design with a built-in latching feature that holds the solenoid in position using residual magnetism.
Three-Position Latching Solenoid
This solenoid’s armature had three positions: fully extended, centered, or fully retracted.
Latching Solenoid
Uses only a short power pulse to actuate and maintains position without constant power.
Miniature Manual Reset Latching Solenoid
A small latching solenoid that had to be manually latched.
