Solenoids  > Application Examples Using Solenoids
Deciding if a solenoid is right for your application
Ledex Solenoids take the short and long view of our customers' problems and the possibilities for solutions. This is why we're the world's leading solenoid manufacturer. And, it's what keeps us the best design source for solenoid solutions - whether it's one solenoid delivered tomorrow morning or a half million delivered just-in-time over the next year. Machine and process automation can range from the most basic on-off function to extremely complex sequencing. Solenoids are among the best actuation devices in terms of size, cost, simplified installation, and ease of use. Below are some of the primary functions which are ideally suited for Dormeyer solenoids. We can help you determine the best solenoid to meet your application design requirements.
Divert
Gate diverters, depending on the application, can be used continuously or very infrequently.
Position
Positioning applications can range from a simple ratcheting device to precise variable positioning.
