Three-Position Latching Solenoid
This latching solenoid is an example of a three-position device with spring center and latch to end positions.
This latching solenoid is a three-position device with spring center and latch to end positions. The device can be designed to use either a permanent magnet or residual magnetism to hold the solenoid in the latched position. Strokes and latching forces are flexible depending on solenoid size.

Refining Emergency Lock Systems in Automobiles
A manufacturer of automobile door lock systems needed to add an emergency lock release feature to their passive entry door lock system. TLX Technologies designed a three-position latching solenoid that would perform all the functions of an automobile door lock system, including an emergency release feature.
Our engineers begin by designing with 3D CAD and performing electromagnetic and fluid dynamic analysis with state-of-the-art finite element analysis software. Every design is engineered and tested in our lab to meet our customers’ specifications.
Increased Performance
Precise control with high accuracy through tighter tolerances. Reducing friction and inefficiencies provides extremely low hysteresis.
Lighter Weight
Multiple variables in the design and manufacturing process are optimized to reduce overall weight and size of the solenoid or valve.
Minimized Footprint
Custom solenoids can be designed to utilize the best control scheme for your application, resulting in a minimized footprint.
Limited Power Consumption
Latching technology in solenoid and valve design minimizes overall power consumption.
Extreme Environments
Can be designed to meet extreme environments that include moisture, dirt/dust, vibration and/or extreme temperature requirements.
Built-in Safety
Failsafe modes are designed into solenoids and valves utilizing integrated electronic controls.
